This week was a week of first time extra curricular activities.
Monday the girls started a dance class. Isaac didn't want to participate.
Emma trying to trace her hand. She was really concentrating.
Wednesday small meeting for RSO sponsorship. The kids went to a soccer group that another spouse just started. It's great that so many people are suddenly willing to share what they know with the kids. What's even better is they are sharing their talents for free. Here we can all understand the lack of money and living on loans.
At lunchtime we were locked out of our usual eating place the family lounge. It locks easily and accidentally often but usually someone is inside. It took forever for security to come over and unlock it for us. After lunch I was able to get in there and put Emma down for her nap.
Thursday I tried to clean up the house a bit. I think that was my excitement for the day...
This girl!! She makes me laugh.
The kids love to gather these pretty flowers that have fallen off a tree on campus.
This little lady is growing too fast too! She is super close to her 9th birthday! I have told her I am cancelling all birthdays for the rest of forever. She didn't believe me though. :( If only I could I would! I want to pause time!! Don't grow up too fast!
Alexis saw these and told me "Mom there are real vacuums over there." It's been so long since I've used a vacuum! I actually miss it! Funny enough, all of these vacuums are broken.
Friday morning the lady spouses from the branch got together for breakfast at the Corner Cafe.They have WAFFLES!! And they are so yummy!! I miss waffles. Back in Caldwell we would eat waffles every Saturday morning.
Saturday while I was out working on laundry Emma went chasing lizards. Yes naked. She is interested in potty training so diapers are often optional at home. That is one nice thing about not having any carpet.
Our local neighbor gave Emma a cherry from his tree. She was excited about it. It wasn't quite ripe and tasted a lot like a tomato.
Mark thought it would be fun for Emma to use the GoPro. It didn't last long but she looked cute!
Sunday Mark went to Roseau to be the group down there. He goes once a month. I spoke in sacrament meeting. It's one of my least favorite things to do but I know that it gives me the opportunity for personal growth. We were short one speaker so I talked with Lexi then volunteered her to do a musical number. She sang "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" like she did when my in-laws were here in December. I love that song and the Spirit I feel when it is sung. "He lives, my kind, wish heavenly Friend. He lives and loves me to the end... Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: I know that my Redeemer lives!"
Thank you for the post!! I love updates. I cannot believe how big Emma is!!!!
