We had
a busy and fun day yesterday. It started
with exercise for the adults and computers for the kids. Then we had a big breakfast of waffles,
bacon, and milk. I cooked 3 lbs of
bacon. We did not eat all of it. I will use the left overs for other meals
this week. The house smelled like bacon
the rest of the day.
After
breakfast, the boys had a piano lesson.
McCabe is learning simplified hymns.
I am pleased with his progress.
Teagan is still trying to figure out where the notes are on the
keyboard. Once he gets the correct hand
position, he does great playing.
From piano, we raked leaves in our yard and
Jeri Burr’s yard. Our trailer was full
thanks to raking leaves from grandma Margaret’s yard last week. Off to the dump was our next stop. The kids were a huge help unloading the
trailer. On they way home, Xadia and
Teagan kept playing a game where they would try to sit on each other. I had to remind them to buckle and stay in
their seats. At the moment they like to
pass gas on each other and say “door knob.”
It is a weird game I do not understand.
I hope they grow out of it soon.
The
kids got to spend $2 at 7-eleven for helping with the leaves. Xadia chose donuts. Teagan chose an ice cream bar and McCabe chose
a soda and Dorito chips. I laughed as
they walked out of the store. Look at
all these empty calories my kiddos are going to put in their bodies.
After
parking the trailer, we geared up to ride dirt bikes. Tim taught me how to start and shift a dirt
bike. My take offs were jerky, I will
need more practice. We had a great time
riding in the parking lot at the end of the street. Teagan was crazy. He made me worry. His dirt bike has training wheels and he was
turning corners and pushing into those training wheels. If those training wheels were not there, that
boy would had fallen many times.
After
biking, we came home and cleaned up. Tim
and I went to the temple. From there, it
was dinner time and happened to be Xadia’s month. She wanted to eat at the Golden Corral. It is a buffet. She enjoyed some sweet potatoes, a roll, a
glass of milk, some strawberry ice cream with sprinkles and gummy bears, and a
bag of cotton candy. Tim had a steak and
I enjoyed a salad. We liked talking and
visiting with Xadia. She is doing really
well in school and likes to play with her friends, Natasha and Izzy.
After
dinner, we picked up Jacinda from the Squire’s house and went home. I made some banana bread and then joined the
kids for movie night. We watched Ice
Age. They loved the part where the baby
wipes his face on the mammoth. It was a
fun way to end the day. We said prayer
and then off to bed.
