Update

Well we made it through the first post Christmas break week. We got up early Monday morning to take Scott to the airport for his mandatory work meeting, more on that later. Anna came over and we chatted while I made frosting for Gabby's STEM project i.e. gingerbread houses. A couple of friends came over and watched a movie with me that night, one of my friends hadn't seen While You Were Sleeping, GASP. Anyway on Tuesday evening we picked up Scott from the airport. Corbin went to his first cub scouts meeting on Tuesday and he hated it and doesn't want to do it. That should be fun. I'm hoping he will like it better as time goes on. This week I know that for scouts they are learning about the organ from Sister Schilds. Barf. So I'm guessing he's not going to like it for awhile...

On Wednesday Corbin started piano lessons, (rough week for him). First it was scouts and then piano lessons. I decided that I didn't want his piano lessons to be total drudgery for him so I told him that every time we went to piano we would stop by Sonic on the way home and he could get a small limeade. My sister in law Jory is teaching him and he is taking them at the same time slot as his cousin Brigitte. She had them learning and practicing together so I think Corbin actually kind of enjoyed it although I doubt he would admit it.

On Thursday night I went to my book club. It was fun, I missed last month so I hadn't seen them for a couple of months. I really like that group of girls. After that I went to my friends house for a girls night. I had hours of girl time that night.

The indoor park opened this week and I took Piper and Ryan on Friday. That place it great! That night Hart and Jory came over and watched the movie The Visit with us. Everyone had seen it except for Scott. We really like that movie. Scott liked it better than he thought he would. It's a good one, (it's scary).

Scott has been unhappy with his job for quite a while. By Christmas break he was pretty decided that he was going to quit. He was waiting for one last pay check before he left. At the mandatory meeting in Salt Lake it just continued to confirm to Scott that this was not the company for him. He was pretty obvious with his discontent and so on Thursday he was fired. They broke up with him before he could break up with them. They told him they would still give him his two last payments. We will see if they actually do. So Scott is on the job hunt again...TO BE CONTINUED.

Kid Quotes:
Ryan came running up to me, I knelt down and said, "can I have a hug," "UH UH, don't like it!" he said as he immediately ran away.

Piper:
Me: "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings and if I hurt your hand." Piper, "you hurted my feelings and you broke my heart."

Piper speaking to me, "that's what I was trying to tell you in the car when you weren't listening to me." Me: "I'm sorry." P: "That was frustrating to me, but I still really love you."

Gabby, "Piper didn't respect my privacy in the bathroom." said the 5 year old going on 35.

I made Corbin a late birthday cake.

Building blocks

Gabby's STEM project. They had to build a model and the house had to meet certain criteria. They also had to work in partners. It was a pretty big deal.

Gabby was the student of the month last month. Way to go Gabby! Compassion is a good thing.

Making a no Piper sign is not very compassionate Gabby. Ha. I love she drew the Piper face with a frowny face.
