Monday, April 3 - Mom has been super funny and cryptic asking Jenni and I to go to lunch with her. I was super curious about what she was "making" us. When we got to her house, she told us to go back out to the car. We thought she was cooking but instead, she took us to lunch at a "new" restaurant. It's called Dollie's and it is the exact same food as the old Sweet Tomatoes! It was so fun going there and nostalgic reminiscing about the old days when our kids were really little and we came here a lot! What a fun date with my mamma and sister!
Tuesday, April 4 - It's April...so it totally makes sense that the kids had another snow day today, right?!? It really wasn't that bad at our house but I guess West Jordan, where the district office is, got slammed. We made the most of it and everyone got their schoolwork done really quickly. It was a win!
Wednesday, April 5 - When the kids got home from school today, I got my new airbrush out to experiment. I got some stencils at Michael's and I really wanted to try them out! I had some old cookies so we practiced with blue and green. It is so fun! I can't wait to use them on cookies!
Thursday, April 6 - It is Harry Potter week in 3rd grade! I volunteered today to help with making chocolate frogs. I am always in awe that the teachers go to so much work to put this amazing week together for the kids! It is incredible! Tonight, we had Bunco at Aubrey's house. We needed a sub so cute Kaylee came. I just love her! She told us tonight that she is putting in her mission papers. I am so happy for her! It was a fun night!
Friday, April 7 - Look how stinking cute these peeps are that mom crocheted! At first, she made three and I thought they were adorable but I sent her this picture and told her I thought I needed a couple more. She didn't disappoint! She was planning on doing 5 anyway but had to find the right colors. Once I strung the other two on, oh my gosh, so so cute! I love that mom shares her incredible talents with us!
Saturday, April 8 - I love Easter Saturday! We started out at mom and dad's ward egg hunt. Their primary is so small that they tell everyone to invite their grandkids too! Unfortunately, the weather is too yucky so we had the hunt indoors instead of outside this year. After, we went over to their house and mom showed us a new dying technique. She sprayed shaving cream in a cookie sheet, dropped food coloring here and there, had the kids swirl it around, and then you put the eggs in that and roll them around. I was skeptical at first but they turned out amazing! After we were done dying, we all went to lunch at Chili's. I love these special family traditions!
Sunday, April 9 - Happy Easter! I can't help but be overwhelmed by the amount of gratitude I have for our Savior. The atonement and resurrection are what ensures our return to our Heavenly Father. The amount of love He has for us is shown in every way each and every day. I am thankful for this day each year to reflect on His sacrifice and ponder what I can do to more fully use the atonement in my life. I am also eternally grateful for this family that I get to be a part of. I love both sides and appreciate the time we are able to spend together!
