Scrabble

Yay, I had a moment to blog earlier today cause Abi took kids to the church. She's so nice to do that for them. Owen especially likes going over to play in the gym, and then all his 5th grade buddies come too. Mel and Christian are here - they were in the area to watch his sister's basketball game and then came over for a visit and brought some rice and grilled veggies to add to our dinner. Having roast (from cans) with carrots (that got frozen in the back of the fridge) and potatoes. We had to wait for Abi for a while - she said to start without them but Corey wouldn't. Abi finally came 30 min after she said she was coming, said it wasn't her fault, cause she had to go drop kids off. After dinner we all cleaned up, yay, and then we played Deluxe Scrabble for Family Home Evening. It was a very nice board game that Corey borrowed from his dad. Here is a pic of all the words we came up withn and Mel and Peter won (they were super lucky to get the X and the Z and get both of them on triple word points! I was on a team with Daniel. 

We did like three rounds and then we called it good and had ice cream. 

Ok what else happened today and this past weekend... I have a few days to catch up on, so maybe I'll just give bullet points on stuff (this is how I usually enter my notes of things to log)

Today/Monday

• Woke up at 4am to finish making a loaf of sourdough. 
• 4:15 made final loaf and set oven to delay start at 5, set an alarm for 5:30 to put it in. Lay down on couch
• 5:30 got up to put it in
• 5:55 get up to take off lid
• 6:15 to take it out
• I was tired later today from getting up to cook and I was glad that cute Katharine took a nap this afternoon with me. I snuck away and she kept snoozing. Pretty little thing.

• Did a walk on the basement treadmill at like 10 am. Do I want to bring it up to our bedroom?
• This morning I got a roast with carrots and potatoes started in crock pot, plus another loaf of sourdough for dinner. Then Mel and Christian came and added rice and veggies, perfect.
• After the treadmill I wanted to go to my mom and dad's house, but when I was ready to be on my way, I texted Abi and yes, she had the key to Mel's car. So I'm stuck. Abi took the van but Mel's car was here which I could have used, IF Abi hadn't taken the key. 
• Mel took her car back tonight - that was another reason they swung by.
• My mom went to neurologist today, High blood pressure, unchecked and untreated hypertension has prob caused damage to her brain. Jersh was there with her for 6 hours, at the neurologist then  they went straight to the ER cause Mom's blood pressure was too high.
• went over finances trying to figure out our monthly income for the Medicaid/CHIP insurance application, but a lot of deposits are from loans Corey's taken out? We're in a real mess, Lord help us

Sunday - 

• Date and Pecan sourdough for breakfast. It was good but I ate too much.

• Peter made the Noah's ark Oragami boat activity in the Friend Magazine. That is a good Sunday activity Peter! Good job. 

• cooked potatoes so they would be ready to make potato salad after church
• Went to Church
• nap while kids watched David movie and The Homestead
• Watched home videos on youtube
• sit down dinner - potato salad and shrimp
• ordered season 4 & 5 of the chosen so we can watch it before Easter. My fam hasn't seen season 5, just me.
• Lily dressed Katharine up like a ballerina







• Kids playing Mancala, I don't know where we got these two pine boards and dozens of tiny clear marbles. 
• at scriptures the kids started using a pool noodle with the marbles and shooting them at the board, a lot went flying down the stairs, I guess I get to go try and find those tomorrow.

Saturday - 

• Morning toprope with Corey at Fort Union
• some handstand stuff
• Ran errands: Walmart (rice milk, soy milk, pink lady apples, onions, hairspray) then to Costco for a lot, then Macey's on the way home cause I forgot celery (for potato salad tomorrow), and to get myself an ice cream cone.
• Listened to this Alex Honnold interview while I ran errands, I really liked it!
• used all the $302 rebate at Costco cause I went over budget, sad... I wanted to keep that for my  mental health - secret cash stash. Oh well, sniff
• Since I ate ice cream, I went on a walk and delivered the rest of Mel's thank you notes. Took 54 min. cold, but pretty sunset! Gave Kathy G a note and she invited me in to see some clothes that she wants to offer to Abi for her mission. On the way out, she noticed my Chosen hoodie, said she's been meaning to watch it but hasn't, so I put my dvds of seasons 1-3 in my church bag so I'd remember to give them to her to borrow on Sunday
• Coreys' been working all day
• 8:40pm - I'm going to go sit in the sauna, was in there for 50 min.
