Monday, March 2 - Late at night when all the kids are in bed and Simon is asleep on the couch, I look at Instagram and occasionally buy a shirt that I think is ridiculously cute! :) So glad I have a job and a little spending money to make purchases that make me happy.
Tuesday, March 3 - This is Stewart. I don't remember if he's the 3rd or the 4th or even the 5th. But we caught him. And he is dead.
Wednesday, March 4 - This cute girl has a few new things that she's obsessed with. First of all, Grandma Sandi let her borrow this Spiderman suit today and she hasn't taken it off for even a moment. Secondly, she wants to paint...like all the time! She paints pictures to give to people. Grandma's, her teacher at school, her teacher at church...anyone that she thinks would like one. I'm happy she's found a hobby to keep her busy because as this Coronavirus heats up here in Utah, we may be spending a lot of time at home!
Thursday, March 5 - We had a very fun YM/YW activity tonight. We did line dancing at a local Herriman church with the special needs youth ward. These kids, and I, had so much fun learning some new dances and hanging out with the kids with various disabilities.
Friday, March 6 - I can't believe Nick is already 14! This kid is kind, thoughtful, smart, independent, and always has a smile on his face! If he represents what raising a teenager will be like, we are in for nothing but a treat! After the younger kids went to school, Nick and I went to McDonald's for breakfast. He was thrilled because he was able to get a Vanilla Coke, his favorite drink. Tonight, while Zack went to Colton Madsen's birthday party and had a blast, Simon and I took Nick to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. He got an adult meal and was on cloud 9! Happy birthday Nick! We love you SO SO SO much and are very thankful to have you in our family!
Saturday, March 7 - We had a busy Saturday! It was supposed to start with me getting a massage but my massage therapist cut her hand and had to get stitches. Poor thing! At noon, Simon and Zack went with his family to the home opener game of Real Salt Lake. They had a good time. Then, I went to a Citrus Pear class with my cute friends while Simon went and coached his indoor soccer team. Luckily, the whole team was there so they were able to get a picture. I was glad because Halle and Brielle will be out of town next Saturday so this is a great picture! (On a side note: I'm writing this a few weeks later and the Coronavirus has us practicing "social distancing" for a minimum of two weeks. I am SO thankful that we have an extra 20 freezer meals that I didn't have before this night. What a blessing!)
Sunday, March 8 - Happy birthday Gary! Since Gary and Nick share the same birthday week, we celebrated them both tonight at family dinner. Also, it was great to be there because Uncle Gary returns home to England tomorrow, March 9. It sure has been a pleasure getting to know him and learning more about him, his family, and hearing memories from "back home". We are hoping he comes again in about a year. He may even bring more of his family with him. We sure hope so!
