weekend fun...

Spring is coming, :) and we can't be happier!

day 63 {04 mar 2010}

a quick spring walk...

I don't think I have ever seen the kids get their chores done this fast with a promise of a nice walk in the sunshine upon completion.

This was also the ONLY day this week (until Saturday) all the kiddos were at school and healthy. (By healthy I mean, the only day of the week someone wasn't throwing up!)

day 64 {05 mar 2010}

Just D eating a banana, being very happy!

He has claimed his spot on the counter next to me when I am cooking. He needs to sit on the counter in HIS spot, eat a banana, drink his milk, and have a few chocolate chips and reeses peanut butter chips. Then the boy is totally happy while I cook.

Although, it sort of messes up his appetite for dinner. :D

day 65 {06 mar 2010}

J cashing in on his carefully earned video game time, with Dad's new PSP, playing Battlefront Elite, thanks to Grandma Clegg for the game and Josh for the suggestion.

His amount of time reading has seriously increased. He read for FOUR hours last week. I am so so happy. I need to spend about 20 minutes a day with him reading out loud, though, I think that will also really help his reading improve more.

day 66 {07 mar 2010}

The itouch game of choice this week, Angry Birds. It used to be Doodle Jump (which we all still love), but we, as a family, have moved on. Even little D has amazing skills with the touch screen of the itouch; he can maneuver his way around with the best of us. Who knew my Christmas present would be such a huge huge hit. :)

I had sharing time this week, and really love being in the Primary. I still miss the Young Women, but I am feeling more and more at home with the kiddos of our ward. This month's theme is about prophets. As I was preparing this week I was obviously thinking about the theme and feel so blessed to have my knowledge of God's prophets...That God calls prophets today. That God speaks through his prophets, and has all through time. I know that as we listen to the prophets' words, study them, and apply their teachings in our lives our lives will be better and we will be blessed. I love the pure and sweet spirit that I feel when teaching the children. It is great!

Hope you all have a great week!
