Update

Ryan was sick all week. He had some sort of eye infection and had very goopy eyes and a runny nose all week. He would wake up in the morning totally crusted over. He finally got over that and yesterday he puked all of his breakfast and lunch. He hasn't puked since then but since we weren't sure we had to cancel on our babysitter last night. It was our ward temple session because of ward conference and I was excited to go with Scott. He and I haven't been to the temple together in a long time. Oh well. I also stayed home with Ryan from church because we for sure didn't him puking at church. He seems to be feeling better but still slightly under the weather.

On Tuesday we walked to go pick up Corbin from school and we got locked out of the house. Earlier in the day the back door was unlocked and I didn't recheck it before we left. When we got home we discovered that the backdoor was locked. We further discovered that our spare key was missing. Awesome. I called Scott and he couldn't come home for about an hour. I was going to walk about a half mile to my friend's house to wait it out but Ryan was crying and freezing by that point so we went next door to our older neighbor Connie's house instead. She was very kind to take us in for an hour. She is a grandma and has a kids room chuck full of toys. While we were there the kids discovered some of her puzzles and put some together. They really enjoyed it. I've never thought to buy my kids puzzles because I hate them so much but after that I went to DI yesterday and bought several puzzles. Gabby especially enjoys it. I put together Corbin's 100 piece puzzle and it was hard for me to do. I don't think I've actually ever done a puzzle that big before. Ha. So I did something crazy and bought a 750 piece puzzle. My dad LOVES trains and puzzles so I bought a train puzzle in honor of him. We will see if I actually do it. I'm pretty sure I cant' do it. The whole thing is scenery. I totally should have picked a puzzle with lots of distinctions like lots of different colored houses or something. Anyway back to the being locked out story, my kids want to go to Connie's house everyday now and our spare key is still missing.

Scott has been working very hard all week. He has a goal so hopefully he will make it. 

Yesterday I went to Goodwill and found lots of stuff that looked brand new. I love it when that happens. I love thrift stores. I would say I go to a thrift store 10 times to 1 without buying anything but sometimes you find real treasures. Love it. 

Corbin: After asking Corbin several times to empty the dishwasher I finally said, "Corbin do your job. Don't make me say it again or there will be consequences. " To which he replied, "Like no video games? Because I don't care about video games anymore, I only care about science.

Piper: After taking away the iPad Piper said to me later, "mom, I just hate you mom." That was the first time she's ever said that. It was kind of sad and kind of cute all at the same time. That's okay with me, I'm pretty sure your kids are supposed to hate you sometimes.

Cuddles with poor sick buddy,

Winco gives away free turkeys at Thanksgiving so I finally cooked it up, I made the Thanksgiving sides to go with it. It was pretty good but it's not the same when your mom doesn't make it or when you eat it in the middle of January.

I did most of that puzzle but Corbin helped me. That was a big accomplishment for me. Ha.
