Typical monday

Today was a busy Monday, but that is typical for me.  Started the morning doing paperwork and photography stuff. Also got 2 loads of laundry in. By 10 we were out of the house and on to our shopping.  Krogers aldis and Sams club plus a stop at Alexanders martial arts to drop off pics. After lunch with Jon, James and i headed home. James napped while i did the prep for all of our dinners this week. I find if i do all the chopping and other prep work on Mondays making dinner goes smoother and faster the rest if the week. After the kids got home i supervised chores and piano, met with the primary president and then served the family dinner. Now i am relaxing at the roller rink while Elinor does derby practice. It is nice to have a little down time after this busy day.

3 weeks!

I am so happy that i am finished with the first 3 weeks.  I had forgotten how hard this blog a day can be! Today was Sunday and 8 must say i am really enjoying 9 am start time. It makes things more rushed in the early morning but having the whole afternoon open is nice. Today i got up early and made brownies for Jon's Sunday school class and finished my primary lesson then it was off to church. We played musical measles for singing time and the kids had a blast putting stickers all over me!  This evening we took Wesley to the baptism preview at church and then right after i dropped everyone off at home and headed out to a missionary farewell. (Good luck Allie!) it was a nice evening and a wonderful Sunday.

Oh the cleverness of me

I spent several hours last night trying to fix my mysteriously not working phone. I tried everything i could find on google, talked to the service rep at lg and followed all the tutorials on youtube and nothing worked. The lg guy said i would have to send it in to be services. The last thing i had to try before​ sending it away was to leave the battery out over night and try once again to factory reset the phone. This morning i put the battery back in and lo and behold when i tried the factory reset it worked and the phone functioned again! Of course all my apps, pictures and contacts were gone but i will stay happy that the phone works. I got the phone working just in time to head out the door for a church meeting. Dad took the kids to a movie and lunch while i was gone so after the meeting i grabbed some lunch for me and Jon. I spent the early afternoon trying to find a way to get my contacts back after i figured out how to restore my apps. When dad brought the kids home i put James to bed and left the boys with Elinor so Jon and i could go out. The weather couldn't be nicer, sunny and 69*! Jon and i went on a nice long pokewalk. We went down the Indian creek greenway and caught a ton of great creatures. We picked up some pizza and a movie (kubo and the 2 strings) on the way home and finished the day with a family night. So thankful for technology and the patience to deal with it tonight.

Dead phone

Not much to blog today, and no pics because my phone mysteriously died this afternoon.  It wasn't dropped or anything.  Thankfully it is under warranty, so I should be able to get it fixed.  Before it broke it was a great day, I went to the YMCA with mom and then we sewed most of the day.  We made 2 purses for our Etsy shop.  I love hanging out with my mom.  Hopefully better blog post will come when I get my phone fixed.

Great day

Today was a great day. It did start with another trip to the dentist, but i guess i will forgive it for that as the rest of the day was so nice. Today my friend Nichole taught a card making class at my MoPS group and my friend Janet joined me to participate. It was awesome having my friends with me. Also i really love mops, they are such a wonderful group of ladies. After mops mom watched James​ for me while i went to a dr. Appt which was just a blood draw and blessedly short. Then i spent the rest of the afternoon working on pictures until i cooked dinner after dinner i helped Elinor finish her science project board.  Think she did such a good job on it! And then i went to karate. James was much better behaved and i am so glad he took a nap! I am sorry happy i got to spend the day with friends.

Derby pics

Ah Wednesday. Not my favorite day today.  Started with a root canal. I hate going to the dentist so a root canal is not on my top 10 list of fun things to do. But i endured and now i just have to make it though getting the permanent filling tomorrow and i am safe from dentists for 6 months. After the root canals i worked with mom on my ren faire costume and made a Pikachu purse. This evening i too Elinor to roller derby and took more derby pics for the team. So the day ended up a lot better than it started.

Crafty

Today was such a nice day. James got up very early for him, 6:15. I was dreading the day because usually when he gets up early he is not exactly well behaved. But he was surprisingly good all morning. Since we were up and ready for the day early we spent the morning at nanas house crafting. We cut out the skirt for my ren fair costume and made a tote bag for moms business. Then  we went to lunch at chickfila. After lunch i went back to moms and we made a messenger bag too. We finished right before the kids got home from school. Then i went home and made diner before​ taking the kids to piano. Then i got to go sparring at karate.  Tomorrow wont be as fun i have a root canal.
