Cabin Fever

I dealt with a cold all week last week. I was sitting in church at the beginning of Sacrament meeting and my body hurt all over and I just wanted to go to bed. I would have left but I had to teach my primary class. As soon as church was out I went home and took some ib profin and took a 2 hour nap. That is such a long nap for me. I don't normally get body aches with my colds so that was kind of weird. I took it pretty easy on Monday too. I'm almost all the way better now. On Tuesday morning I decided it would be a good time to take advantage of Scott's unemployment and go to the temple when it wasn't super early or a Saturday. It was really crowded which kind of surprised me for a Tuesday morning.

On Wednesday I took Ryan and Piper to music and movement at the library. That night I took Corbin to his second piano lesson. He's being a pretty good sport about it so far. He does have rhythm which is good. I'm not sure if I would be able to force him to take several years of piano lessons if he had no rhythm.

On Thursday I took Piper and Ryan to the indoor park and in the afternoon the girls had dance. That night a few friends came over because one of them hadn't seen You've Got Mail. Who hasn't seen that movie? Seriously.

On Friday I made the kids some muddy buddies and they also had their movie, popcorn, and sleepover on the hide away bed.

On Saturday we fed the missionaries and later my friend came over to watch the kids and Scott and I went on a super small mini date to Goodwill and Dairy Queen. I found a cool box to hold my piano music and a wok. I've been on the fence about buying a wok for at least 5 years. I found one that looked like it hadn't been used once for $5. Sweet. I already used it this morning and it's awesome. Scott bought a book called Punished by Rewards. It talks about the problem with gold stars, incentive plans, ect. It seems pretty interesting. I will probably be the one that ends up reading it.

This morning we dropped of Scott at the airport because he's going to Colorado for a few days to see his friend Jarom. They are going to ski,watch movies, and play video games no doubt. I'm excited that Scott is finally taking a trip to see his friend and that he is going to go skiing. Every member of my family that talked to me said, "Scott skis?" Ha. Actually I hear he's an amazing skier but I've never seen him ski. He used to have season passes back in his single days when he lived right next to famous ski resorts.

I invited Alex and Anna's family over for dinner tonight. We had my experimental vegetable beef soup (that was pretty good) although the kids all filled up on cookies. Then we played Disney Scene it and Pictionary. It was fun.

My kids have been crazy the last couple of days. So were all the kids in primary too. I think everyone has a serious case of Cabin Fever. My only beef about Scott's trip is that he planned it on a 3 day weekend (not intentionally). Tomorrow the kids are out of school and they may make me bonkers. Bring on Spring!

The kids gathered around for Scott's FHE on finances. Corbin probably knows how to budget better than most adults. It surprised us both how much he knew about this stuff. I guess we talk about it a lot. 

This picture is too cute. They are watching something on Gabby's phone.

Yes my kids are electronic junkies. But seriously they're cute right?

I think Ryan weighs more than Piper. So good luck with that Pipes. 

I'm out of projects around the house  that I can afford and do by myself so I asked my non project friend if I could paint her kitchen chairs for her. They were planning on painting them one day. I'm taking my time though. I just want a little side project that I can work on here and there. Something to help me deal with winter. She said she was okay with that. I am almost done with the first chair. It used to have dark stain on it with lots of wear and tear. 

My wok. A wok is a deep pan used for making dishes like stir fry. In case you're like, wok?

Gabby and Ryan are so cute together.
