snippets of this past week in no particular order:
*We talked about making our home a 'house of order' during morning devotional. Laura seems to have taken this to a whole new level and helps me with everything. Today she rinsed and dried all the dishes. Also my broom doesn't seem to stay on its hanger for very long.
*We're starting to feel a little cooped. Laura was desperate to ride her bike.
*Thursday I put everything on my to-do list aside and took the kids to the Children's Museum. We spent about a half an hour making houses and towers with the blocks alone.
*Friday I cleaned all day (due to Thursday's playday), the girls were great pretending. Although while they were playing shark and mermaid Eden got a little too involved and took bite out of Laura's back. Bandaids were involved.
*FHE: we talked about how scriptures are like the prophet's
journals. Cannot get Eden to sit still!
*This is Teresa, she came to visit on Monday. Doesn't she have a beautiful rainbow skirt?
*Tried to alter one of our favorite recipes for dinner Friday night and it turned out absolutley disgusting. Brent said he liked it, but I think he might have been trying not to hurt my feelings
*Laura asked me what 'bless' means. It's a pretty abstract concept for a little kid.
*Ryan always has rice cereal at 5:00. No questions asked. It had better be there.
*I accomplished a major goal and practiced my violin and exercised every day this week! I also had Symphony rehearsal which has it's major ups and downs. I get pretty discouraged not being
able to play like I want to: thus the practicing every day. I hope to continue.
*The girls are still in their puzzle phase; especially Eden.
*Brent and I escaped again on Saturday morning to the mountains for a little snowshoeing. It was beautiful and refreshing. I was totally grumpy when we left but by the time we got back I was so relaxed and happy. ahhh endorphins:)
*The girls both keep outgrowing their dresses.
*I learned how to thread my serger, but still can't figure out why the stitches don't look like they're supposed to.
*Tuesday we played with our friends Ellen, Warren and Emerson the whole day. It's amazing how a day flies when you're chatting with friends.
*Brent's been working major overtime hours learning the new projects at Little Mountain, and is also studying a lot for his class. He's a little overwhelmed but is doing well.
*Today at dinner the following conversation made Brent and I giggle:

I love the joke skit at the end! So classic.
Good to hear what has been happening in your life. Haven't had much time to chat. The girls make me laugh.
Hi,
Sounds like things are well at the Beattie house. I tried to call you the other day and it went to a persons voicemail that wasn't you. Call me sometime.
