Wanna trade lives?

As my beloved brother pointed out, it has been a while since I last wrote on my blog. I will admit, I have been busy. I know. It doesn't happen too often. Haha

Friday, Jake had friends over. He had fun. I hid out in the bedroom with Elaina. We played Sorry and watched movies. It was fun… enough. :} Friday and Saturday were Emma’s performances for show choir. Her solo on Saturday was excellent. Teachers came out of their way to tell me how much they enjoyed it when I was up at the school helping out. Her performance was at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine. It was my first time seeing that place. It was really neat. I got some fun pictures of the kids.

Sunday was extremely busy. Mike had an early meeting, then when he came home we took the boys up to their meeting, left straight for the airport and dropped Mike off. The girls and I then went to church. After church, we came home, made dinner and left for choir practice. Emma loves the choir and Jake and his friends have decided they want to be in the ward choir also. Therefore, I got to go to choir practice as well. :} Lucky for us, the boys had a fireside @ 7 so we had about 30 mins to get home and get them changed for that. :} Don’t worry. I wasn’t bored while the boys were at the fireside. Emma remembered that she had to decorate a turkey for Monday and write an essay about why it wasn’t a turkey. We worked on it during and after the fireside. I was impressed that it looked as good as it did. I forgot to take pictures. I was tired for some reason. :}

Monday, well, I’ll be honest. I don’t remember much else of this week. I know that at some point, Emma had activity days (with two kinds of homemade cookies), the boys got to young mens activities (in two locations) and we made a poster for Emma being “Student of the week” in her class.

Today has been filled with trying to get the car fixed (something about the front alignment) and now laundry and it's only 11 AM. I am hoping that if I get laundy done, we will have clean clothes to pack for when we leave early Saturday. I’ll be honest, I am looking forward to seeing everyone. I’m just really tired. :}
