The Pearson Project

 

Tuesday, October 28

Today was super busy. Grandma Sharon came at 11:00 to get her nails done and we had lunch together. Zack, Ricki, and I left at 1:45 to go to Ricki's 4-month well-check. It went awesome! She's 15 lbs 25" long and is tall and large for her age. :) On the way home, we stopped at Ward's Carpet Outlet to shop for carpet (we just need to get it ordered already!!). We made it home in just enough time to get Nick to scouts by 4:00. I put together a canning list so I can can tomorrow then picked him up at 5:00. At 5:30, I took Kendra to gymnastics and bought canning groceries while she was there. We got home at 7:15, ate dinner, then our home teachers came at 8:00. It has been busy! But it's been a great day and this was a fun way to end our evening!

I finally finished one of my two "Souper Saturday" projects that I missed a few weeks back. It was fun to work on it and I'm glad it's done!

Dinner tonight was at Grandma and Jim's. I love Sunday dinners! In preparation for their upcoming cruise, mom wanted me to do her nails so after dinner, we did them.

The basement is ALMOST done! I seriously just cannot wait! I'm almost to my limit of waiting for it. Anyway, here is some progress being made in Kendra's room. We went carpet shopping too. Baby steps...

When everyone else in our family gets sick, they get over it. When this sweet girl gets sick, she ends up at the doctor's office and thankfully not the hospital. She threw up and felt miserable all day yesterday. Today, she woke up having trouble breathing and with a nasty cough. I rushed her in. Sure enough, her oxygen saturation level was between 88-90% (90 is the extreme low end of normal), her heart rate was high, and her blood pressure was high. Plus, she was feverish. After a chest x-ray, several popsicles to try to hydrate her without an IV, a hefty breathing treatment, and a couple hours of observation, she went home a much happier girl. Another shout-out (again) to Jenni for taking my other 3 kids last-minute so I could take her. Thanks Jen!!

When the cat's away, the mice will play! Simon had his annual "Leadership Retreat" so I invited some friends over. I had mom, Jenni, Marisa Olsen, Heather Roberts, Tauni Shields, Erin Coles, Jessica Bowles, and Amie come. We just had a project/visiting/treats girl's night out and I loved every minute of it!

Free Chick-Fil-A again (and probably again next week too!). The kids and I went and enjoyed our free sausage biscuits. We had a really fun day being together and hanging out doing crafts at Jenni's house. I'll be sad when they go back on track on Monday.

I'll admit, I slept in. But Zack and Kendra got up early and decided to make a bed of blankets on the floor in the family room and watch a movie. They were so cute and cuddly, I had to grab a photo.

We went to lunch at mom's and she had the most amazingly yummy soup. She had me stop by after bowling and pick up the rest of it for our dinner tonight. Yum! Kendra did a fun little project. She made a foam pumpkin necklace with beads. I love having a girly-girl!
