Week ending 10-22-17

Last Sunday: The teenagers goofing off in the kitchen (which I LOVE) led to our very old dollar store candy corn dish to break. I had won it at a RS event years ago and it was very beloved in our house. Everyone was sad to see it go.  

Nathan playing Wise and Otherwise with the kids after tucking in the little ones. 

Monday: I love seeing all my kids splayed out on the couches for FHE. 

Kaitlyn singing and dancing with Talea through scripture reading. 

Alexis spent weeks writing a primary program for her primary (she's the president) which included Thomas, Kaitlyn, Makenna, and all of their many dolls. Their presentation was on Monday to which we invited the bishop's wife (she really wanted to see it). There were several musical numbers and everything went very smoothly. We did it after lunch but took these pictures before bed because we hadn't earlier.

Tuesday: This room has been spotless since these 2 moved to the basement. So when I walked in they must have seen the surprise on my face because Kaitlyn quickly explained, "We're at Aunt Lori's." The whole week they had suitcases and clothes and dolls in this room visiting Aunt Lori. 

Andy (in the middle) chasing Thomas with the ghost on his face. His boos were so cute. 

Learning to sit up!  

I was excited to find this at Kid to Kid for cheap. So far she loves it and I do too. It's so nice to have space in this house for baby gear. I've never been a baby gear person primarily because I don't like a lot of stuff in my house. 

Friday: After breakfast I sent the kids out to see the sun come up over the mountains. It was 8:20am. I can't believe how late it is here and wish it were a lot earlier as it makes it too tempting to sleep in. Still, it was a beautiful morning. 

I love seeing them all run around and be themselves.

Do you see Thomas about to catch the football? 

These two were finishing their breakfast. 

Friday: doing art. We were copying different trees from various children's books. We spent several hours on it while watching the temperature drop from 67 to 45. 

 Today: Taking a fall picture with my girls. 

Spencer was our photographer. 

Reassembling 

Thomas was the official photobomber. 

My six beautiful girls! 

These two have always been best friends.
