Tuesday James had preschool. Becca came over to hang out in the morning and James and I were excited to have them over! This is him posing for the camera. Also my mom got into town to help out for a few days. Institute was cancelled for the night, so I got to stay home and chat with her.
Wednesday was the usual business - late start day for the kids, I did some grocery shopping for the rest of the week and then after school usual stuff - including choir for Eileen, Then choir for me in the evening, Eileen didn't have young women's though since it was on Thursday.
Thursday, James had preschool again, I got a little nap in, Dan got home, Sandi and Kai got in, The kids had their Dr. Seuss birthday celebration after school, then in the evening, was the youth activity. My mom watched the kids so I could go too. We all went to see a musical that one of the youth was in. We saw "In The Heights." It was really pretty well done, and the young woman from our ward that was in it did an awesome job.
Friday, Dan got the day off. Sandi took the kids to the park in the morning, then Dan took me out to lunch, then I met the kids at the park along with a friend from church. After school, Eileen had her chamber music festival at the school and did a flute solo again. I accompanied her this time - once again she got a superior rating - she did a wonderful job and the judge was really impressive and helpful in giving her pointers to do even better! In the evening, Dan and I went to see "In the Heights" again - this time at another school with a different amazingly talented young person from our ward. We've now been to 3 high school theater productions in the last month - one at each of the major high schools in the area. It's been fun getting to go on so many dates with Dan!
Saturday was the beginning of crazy family weekend. The kids spent some more time at the park, (the weather was amazing this week) my dad arrived, we went over to Stuart and Rebecca's for a family dinner to celebrate all the birthdays. On top of that my mom was in charge of putting together a video of Grandpa's life for this weekend and she spent a lot of time of it. To help out - me, Sandi and the kids all lent our voices to background music. After that full day, we all kinda collapsed when we got home :)
Sunday was another big day. Eileen and Anna and James went with Dan to Stake Conference. Eileen and Anna were singing in the choir. Evelyn and James went with me to Grandpa's church to hear him speak, then we all got back together for a early Sunday dinner (lunch) before heading over to Grandpa's 90th birthday party. It was fun to see so many family and friends and we had a fun time chatting and playing. For some reason though, the kids didn't want their picture taken.... Except Evie who always wants her picture taken....
After a long exhausting weekend - we are all ready for an early night and a good rest!
