The Good Stuff, Day 32

THE GOOD STUFF - DAY 32: FEBRUARY 5, 2017

* I DIDN'T HAVE TO TEACH TODAY

Sometimes I don't mind, but I enjoyed listening to the lesson instead today.

* THE KIDS WERE PRETTY GOOD

* ZACH LOVES BEING IN PRIMARY

He was a major distration for the boys behind me and he was super loud. But he enjoyed all the kids being there. Sadly, I think it was the last time he'll be in Primary for a long while.

* WAS ABLE TO GET A SMALL REST IN

* ZACH TURNED 1

It was a bit bittersweet for me, but life happens anyway. He really enjoyed his day and his gifts. And go figure the less expensive the gift, the more he liked it.

* ZACH LOVES CHOCOLATE CAKE

* ERIC AND I GOT CAUGHT UP ON A FEW OF OUR SHOWS

* ERIC AND I EXERCISED

I've been meaning to do something, but always lack the motivation. Somewhere along the way we came up with the idea of Eric joining me. We finally got off of our butts and did it. I'm hoping it's something we keep up with.

The Good Stuff, Day 26

THE GOOD STUFF - DAY 26: JANUARY 30, 2017

* I GOT THE HOUSE CLEANED AND STRAIGHTENED BY NOON

* I WENT TO THE STORE FOR A FEW THINGS AND DIDN'T FORGET ANYTHING I WENT TO THE STORE FOR

* TANIS' GROUP IN FOODS WON 3RD PLACE IN A SANDWICH COMPETITION

From what it sounded like, they had a bit of a competition like Chopped and shows like that. Out of 8 groups, Tanis' recieved 3rd.

* IT WAS SHAYLYN'S 15TH BIRTHDAY

* I TRIED AN ICE CREAM CAKE THAT I SAW ON FACEBOOK FOR SHAYLYN'S BIRTHDAY AND IT WORKED

And the kids seemed to really enjoy it and ate lots and there is no more left. 

* WE FINALLY SAW TROLLS

While I don't like the way they changed the trolls looks, much - it wasn't a horrible movie. True, it wasn't the best movie I've ever seen either. The reviews I had heard previously had me worried, but I liked it enough.

* ZACH FELL ASLEEP IN MY ARMS

It's been a long time since that baby has settled down long enough to let me snuggle him. He usually realizes he's falling asleep and stops himself. I also had to change his diaper after falling asleep, but after giving him a bottle he went right back to bed.

The Good Stuff, Day 23

THE GOOD STUFF - DAY 23: JANUARY 27, 2017

* I GOT MOST OF THE HOUSE CLEANED

* I FINALLY GOT THAT FRAME HUNG UP ON THE WALL

* SENT LEX OFF TO GO CAMPING IN THE SNOW

I think he's crazy, but I was glad to see that he wanted to go and participate.

* WE CELEBRATED SHAYLYN'S BIRTHDAY WITH HER BEST FRIENDS

We took her and 6 of her friends to a place to play Laser Tag. They also got $10 cards to use at the arcade. Totally worth the cost and Shaylyn said it was the best birthday ever.

* EVEN THOUGH ZACH WENT TO BED FAIRLY EARLY, HE SLEPT ALL NIGHT

* I'M MAKING GOOD PROGRESS ON MY BOOK

The Good Stuff, Day 15

THE GOOD STUFF - DAY 15: JANUARY 19, 2017

My life somedays is really quite uneventful...today was one such day. But here's what little I can come up with.

* I WATCHED JACEN'S BEST FRIEND FOR A COUPLE HOURS

It helps my friend out and it gives Jacen someone to play with. He really looks forward to doing things with his "Yonah."

* I GOT SHAYLYN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITES DONE

They are super simple, but we included one of Shaylyn's newest pieces of artwork with them. She blows me away with her talent.

* WE GOT AILEY'S DONATION OF HER HAIR READY TO GO IN THE MAIL

She is still a little unsure about the whole thing and doesn't enjoy holding her old hair, but I think she liked the fact that it was getting put out of sight.
