In case you hadn't heard....

Well 2 weeks to moving day - the last 2 weeks have gone so fast. Plus we still don't know for sure when we are moving - we don't know if we are going to be able to cram it into the weekend of the 28th - partially because we don't know if we will close on the 28th or the 31th.

We are very excited about the house and about having a place of our own again. We are planning and preparing and already mentally making a plan for future improvements in the yard and the furnishings :) Yes we are actually considering the idea of maybe some day getting furniture that isn't second hand..... :)

As you can see - the kids are still enamored with Dan's balloon animals. Eileen and Anna love trying to make them, Aaron loves taking them apart and Evie wanders into our room where the balloons are kept and tries to get one saying "loon?" over and over again.

This week has been rather long and exhausting for me. I have spent a lot of it working on a quilt for the service part of our Super Saturday. On Tuesday, I watched my friends 3 little boys in addition to my own kids and we also had preschool kids over. The kids were generally well behaved - but they had a penchant for exploring and getting into things that they shouldn't. And I don't have that many sets of eyes! My house may be fairly Evie and Aaron proof, but apparently it isn't that kid proof....

The choir had concerts this weekend. We had a concert on Saturday night and sang at the Temple Workers Devotional tonight. It was wonderful - but exhausting!

In addition to choir stuff, the primary had an activity on Saturday morning to prepare for their program today and the big Super Saturday thing was right after. It was all fun, but it kinda felt like we never had a moments rest!!

The primary program today was wonderful. The leaders did a great job preparing and managing a large group of kids. My sweet girls sing so loud that you can hear them over all the other kids even from the back of the chapel. Eileen got to sing as part of a small group. She was so excited and practiced hard for it. While she was up there, I was mouthing the words at her - she didn't like it - she put her finger to her mouth - shushing me and then rolled her eyes at me. But she sang wonderfully!! It's so fun to watch them gain a love of music - I hope they keep that for their entire lives!
