300 seconds to spare

Indian Sky and Weekend Pie

We have our own room!!!! At least that is what it feels like after painting, organizing, etc. It is no longer the dumping ground. That is what the basement is for, right??? Pics to follow much much later.

I am in charge of preschool this week. And we are doing a pretty living room project that we won't finish for a year. I use "we" loosely, as this is surprisingly becoming Aaron's baby. Pics to follow.

We beat a very tall team Saturday. It felt so good. No pics.

We gained a new appreciation for Stake Conference Sunday this time around. That was the first Sunday in months that all six of us were together the entire day except 7:30 to 9:00 Priesthood Leadership Meeting. We ate cupcakes (ketchup-sheddar-meatloaf cooked in muffin tins frosted with colored mashed potatoes). We played about a million games. Hide and Seek was one of the favorites. We had caramel popcorn for dinner. Weston read us two bible stories. The kids went to bed. And Aaron and I played Ticket to Ride for 150 more minutes. We changed the rules so one game takes anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes. So fun.

Little Shop 'a Three Months of My Life . . .

Yep, I had a band. It wasn't my fault (I got myself roped into much more than I thought). But I loved it.

Sometimes Kyle was gone and I got to play all three keyboards. It wasn't pretty.

Ralph the drummmer, Sue the Vocal Director, Kyle the Keyboardist, Me the Pianist and (you know I love to tell people what to do), Lynn the Bassist. We really rocked a couple of the twenty or so nights.

When I am old and gray all I will do is Jam.

Love you guys!!!!!

Decorating For Christmas

And we got it all down by January 10th.

My Three Sons . . . Plus One

The Sunday after Christmas

What is the word between "super" and "normal"?

Weston's class let me teach them how to play "Don't Eat Pete" on Wednesday. Awesome Organized Chaos.

Room

Oh bother. The pictures I just spent 15 minutes putting on the library's compy disappeared, so I will stick to words until Friday. I really have some great pics I want to post.

We are painting our bedroom "Caspian Tide" this weekend. Here's to Home Depot.

Caden's basketball team is 4 - 0 and his shots finally started making their way through the net. Last Saturday it was a fast break lay-up (I know, I know, Caden? Fast break? No one could touch him.) and a prayer from the elbow. Sweeeeet!

Weston's (my) basketball team is 3 - 1 (our loss was by 1 and hubby said it was the ref's doing). Weston was a maniac last game with four steals in the first four minutes.

Aaron bought a set of Spanish scriptures. (The old was were lost in the flood.) His assignment is the Spanish Branch, which he loves. It is an awesome challenge.

Lydia and Garrett have said a couple of really funny things lately that sound too innappropriate to commit to writing.

Saw Sahara last night. Watching Lawrence of Arabia today. Maybe I miss summer.

Got my room clean. Lydia's too. Taught Weston's class the Don't Eat Pete Game. They loved it.

Caden is moping because of our DVD, car, TV, etc situation.

That's it for now. Boring. Wouldn't have it any other way.
