Let’s see what has happened this week? I am sure a whole bunch. Life is moving at a good clip and I’m trying to hold on for the ride.
It rained. That was great! We need all the water we can get.
I got a call from the principal of Hidden Valley Middle school on Monday. I was a little surprised, but then he said he was calling because Lucy was selected as student of the day! What a nice surprise!
Also I can’t remember if I mentioned it but Lucy was selected as an SBO for next year. She felt bad they didn’t keep all six of the kids that ran, especially because the two that weren’t selected have been SBO’s with her this year. She is excited to maybe be able to do a few things next year if there aren’t as many restrictions.
Lilly found out she medaled in state for her scene in state drama competition. That was a nice surprise since she wasn’t selected to go on to the medals round.
Daryl is liking rugby more with each practice. He was not impressed after the first practice and I was worried it would be a long season.
Beth got my phone while I was getting ready one day. This was the most appropriate and best picture she got of me. We had to have a talk about when it’s okay to take pictures.
I got to go to a macaron making class with Aunt Maridean, to fill in for my cousin, who had something come up last minute. It was fun. I don’t know how much I will make them. They are tricky and I don’t have time for that right now. I have a lot more opinions about them than I did before.
Saturday, Lilly and I got our first dose of covid vaccine. We have sore arms today.
Wednesday, Beth and Ellie made rainbow cupcakes with Grandma Egbert. I was quilting when the two of them came to drop one off for Grandpa with a note. It was adorable.
Beth gets my phone a lot and likes to take selfies and doggies. Goob does not seem too pleased.
Ruth seems to be doing better. I still probably need to get more melatonin. We have had fewer rage monster moments and when we have we have been able to deal with them better. I think part of that is because she chooses to go out to the goats to calm down. They help her get back her cool better than anything we have tried. It’s nice to have progress.
Daryl, Ruth and Beth all finished their second semester of music lessons. I got to go with Daryl and Ruth to their last class, where the students taught the parents things they had learned through the semester. Saturday was their low key recital. I am so glad we found Carey Twitchell and Let’s Play Music.
Ellie and Beth got the “relaxing chairs” out this week. Marian and I think it is really fun that our kids use them, we relaxed in them and we have pictures of Uncle Bert (Evelyn and Roberta’s dad) and our oldest cousins in them.
There were some great sunrises this week and fun clouds.
When we make Winkie let Creature nurse, Chocolate usually sneaks in and steals milk too. Funny kids.
Lucy took Lilly’s birthday gift idea to paint the lid of a glass jar with something they like and fill it with their favorite candy and run with it. This is the third one she has done. She did a cow and a sunflower for some other friends. This is for Gracie and these are here ducks.
Lilly and I went to Emma, the musical, at Hale Center Orem to help her get the last few points she needs to become a National Honor Thespian this year. Which means she does a LOT of theater stuff.
At the high school it was Administrative professional’s week and next week is Teacher appreciation, week as well as Cafeteria Hero’s week. Glen thought the baby goats might brighten all those peoples day. Friday we took them over to play and be petted. It was mostly female employees that enjoyed them. It seemed like a success. One of the teachers took the picture above and all the ones below And shared them with us.
I have been able to do some quilting on a quilt I have had on the machine for months but have been avoiding. It is getting custom quilting and I haven’t felt my skills are up to the task. I found some digital patterns that are filling the gap and I have quite a back log of other quilts to do. It’s time I just suck it up and get it done. It will all work out.
Spring term started for school and I have been able to keep up with the reading and assignments so far. I don’t know what I am going to study yet. Business and health care particularly nursing are interesting to me. I am suppose to figure out by the end of the semester what I am doing so I can take the right classes in the fall. :/ This semester my classes are professional skills and the eternal family, a deep dive in to The family, a proclamation to the world. I am really liking them.
Finally, I listened to a
podcast on marriage from the No Dumb Questions podcast. It’s always fun when Matt and Destin record their conversations. This made me think about the importance of marriage and working at it and keeping the covenants you have made. It also made me want to be a better wife.
