This and That

Last weekend Kirk and my two oldest sons went snow camping with Boy Scouts.  They left on a Thursday and ended on Saturday in Bear Valley to snow board.  So, while they were doing this the girls and I were doing this...
 

 

 Of course.  I mean whenever there is time for just us it's always about our nails, treats, movies and the like. 
 

I did a full salon style pedicure while we watched Mary Poppins. 
 

 

 

This is the first time they have ever had a face masque applied to their skin.  Georgia kept asking, "is it cracking?"  No, it just feels that way.  :)
 

 

 

The next day they asked if we could go to yogurt.  They don't have to ask twice, but they had to do chores first. 
 

 

 

Has Will ever had fruit or vegetables besides his bottles?  No, but he's had frozen yogurt.  First thing is first, c'mon... :) 
 

 

Came home and made Shane an obedience chart.  He's having a little trouble listening and minding these days.  The chart is great for this but I've also been more mindful about spending more time with him during the day, reading and holding him on the couch.  He just needs more attention.
 

Georgia had to make a chart too when she saw Shane's.  She puts her own stickers on though...ya know, she's big like that.
 

I made cornbread and soup on Friday night and we had it again on Saturday evening.  This is one of my kids top five meals.  They tell me they will never get tired of it.  I like my cornbread right in my soup butter and honey on it and everything.  So good.
 

They ate.
 

The boys finally got back from the snow and Kirk and I went to the Temple Tuesday evening.  It's a long evening but worth it.  It's such a pleasure to feel the peace and spirit that comes from being in the Temple. 
 

As we drove to the temple I read aloud an article in our church magazine called, "How to Raise Resilient Children."  We thought it was great.  We're good parents but there is always room to improve and to evaluate how we are doing.  If you don't get this magazine you can find this article here.  All in all we are just busy doing this and that.  And we are happy!!!
