Today was pretty fun. The morning was filled with work, as it usually is, but then Jonas and I had fun reading and doing math together, and I taught him the joy of stuffing an entire quarter of an orange in your mouth and sucking all the juice out of it. He was very enthusiastic. :D

Today, we dropped off Brenna at school, then headed over to the school district administration building. It's time to register Jonas for kindergarten for next year! Crazy times, I tell you! It took about 10 minutes from start to finish, and now all I need to do is drop a letter off at his future school (I want to request a specific teacher for him ( Read more... )

Last night, it snowed a bunch, and it kept snowing throughout the day. I did chores in the morning, then before lunch, I took Jonas outside to play. We were hoping to make a snowman, but the snow wouldn't stick together. Sigh. But, we had fun, anyway! We stomped out giant letters in the snow with our footprints (we spelled "Jonas," "Brenna," and ( Read more... )

Today was our first day back to having Joy School after the Christmas break. Jonas was thrilled to play with his friends, and I love the chance to talk to mine! :) We learned about Transportation today. Kathryn made super cute truck and car cut outs out of cheese, which the kids just loved ( Read more... )

Today went well--another successful Primary day. :) We got another teacher and an assistant Den Leader called. Still have a couple to go, but we're slowly whittling down the open positions ( Read more... )

The majority of the morning was spent in a Primary meeting (lots of good stuff accomplished, though), and then I made English toffee with Clarissa before heading off to finally do my Sam's Club shopping for the week. Then home ( Read more... )

Brenna had school today, which was nice. We got her and River there (on time!), and then Jonas played and watched some Netflix shows while I got my editing done and planned Cub Scouts (still working on getting myself a replacement...). Then, we read some books together and went to the library to get a whole new stack, which is always fun ( Read more... )

Since Chris's car was dead, the kids and I got up and (mostly) ready for the day so we could take him to work. Then, even though I didn't bring my grocery list with me, we decided to just head to the store afterward so we didn't have to go out into the cold any more than was absolutely necessary. And, go me, because I got everything I'd written on ( Read more... )
