I'm tired today. I could barely make it through my workout this morning. I stopped twice to rest because I felt like puking and I wasn't working out very hard? It's hard to get to bed early enough to get enough sleep by 5:45 am when the alarm goes off!
I'm going to run errands and go shopping today but still want to thwart something on my house so I've decided to clean up one side of the garage. It's home to all the kids sports equipment and outdoor toys and it is in disarray. It is supposed to rain today so I'm hoping to be working in the garage while it is raining outside so I can enjoy the rain. So here is the after pictures: And no rain so far today :-(
Kylie has been waiting for snow for weeks now. We usually only get snow once or twice a winter and today was the day. She and Brett went outside to play for a few minutes but they got cold quickly.
Check out these pictures Brett snapped when we dropped by the elementary school this morning. I think the sprinklers must have been on! It looks like an ice storm but it was only this one section of grass and trees that were covered in ice!
Seeing as I knew I'd be eating too much and needed to exercise I suggested a family hike on Thanksgiving morning. Brett wanted to go geocaching so we found the location of a few geocaches and headed out in the rain.
Things started off nice but after a short time the rain started falling and the location where I thought the geocache should be did not match up with the coordinates we input into the GPS.
Don't be deceived. This smile won't be around for very long. Kylie only lasted a short time before she melted down and wanted to be carried and then wanted to go home!
The geocache said it was on top of a hill between 2 rocks. The location the GPS lead us to was not on top of a hill.
Can you say frustration? A screaming child, wet cold rain and no success at finding the cache.
Maybe we'll have better luck next time. At least we got some exercise.
I was released from the nursery today after more than a year and a half in there. It was time. I've loved the calling and the kids but it is such an isolating calling. I'll be glad to attend Relief Society once again. I was called to be an Activity Days Leader for the 8 & 9 year old girls in the ward. I'm really excited. The bishop set me apart today and gave me a lot to think about how I can magnify my calling with these special girls. Kim is so excited to have me as her leader!
I spent the morning laying in bed reading my scriptures and finishing the book The Mother In Me. While I was reading all of the kids ended up coming in at one time or another and climbing up on my bed by me. It was an enjoyable morning.
We planned to walk to church today but it started raining so we didn't. I love the rain. It always reminds me of my mother. I talked with the kids about the day of my mom's funeral when it started raining right as we arrived at the cemetery. We talked how it could have been a coincidence but none of us really believe that. I believe it was a tender mercy from the Lord.
I love this song. I have been listening to it over and over again. Now I'm off to read books to the kids. I hope everyone is having a relaxing, peaceful Sunday.
We have been getting thunder storms and rain in the afternoon lately. The kids have been having a blast playing in the rain and mud. Bradley is not a huge fan of the mud but he loves jumping on the wet trampoline. The kids put the hose on too and create a huge mud puddle by the house and then dig for worms. Some of the neighbor kids say their moms don't want them to get muddy. Not me! I say let kids be kids! I sat out in the rain yesterday watching them have a great time.
We had a huge thunderstorm roll in this afternoon. It poured rain for about half an hour. The kids had fun playing in the puddles and mud it left behind. Grandma would have loved the storm!!!
