I felt like I was on the go every second this week!

• Monday after school we took Addy back to Dr. Glade so he could put on her cast. It went on quickly and Addy really liked having it put on because it took away all the pain. The cast is even water proof so she can bathe like normal.

• Wednesday morning was Dads and Donuts at the school. Addy was so proud to take her Daddy to school and have that special time with him. Todd even stopped by the book fair that was going on in the library and bought her a new Junie B. Jones book.
• I met with Addy's teachers for Parent Teacher Conferences on Thursday. Her reading is fantastic, way above where they would like the 1st graders to be at this point in the year and her Chinese teacher said that the last few weeks she has taken a bigger interest in Chinese class and is coming along great. (As a side note...I really love when Addy corrects my attempts at the Chinese language:)
• I ordered a 40 lb. box of chicken that I picked up on Wednesday. That meant that ALL DAY Friday I was using that chicken. I made a dozen freezer meals and cut up lots of chicken for various uses as needed. I've never done freezer meals before but I am looking forward to using them on the nights I work and I need an easy dinner.
• Brynn recently learned the song "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at preschool. She asked what Cracker Jacks were and so I finally went out and bought a box for her. She was so excited and thought it was delicious. She is super cute when singing the song in her little voice.

• Saturday night Cathy watched the kids while Todd and I went on a date. We headed up to Fashion Place mall because let's just say Todd has been unable to find a new pair of jeans for a VERY long time. Finally he found a pair! Don't worry, I know to bring my Kindle with me when shopping with Todd because he takes forever trying to find clothes he likes:) After the mall we headed back to Lehi and ate dinner at Wild Bill's Buffalo Wings so we could watch the Ute game. Like always, he kept me laughing all night! Love spending time with him!
• Sunday was our annual Primary Program in Sacrament Meeting. It was fun to see the primary finally perform all the songs we have been working on all year long. The girls did great on their speaking parts and Todd and my primary class also did fantastic.
• Sunday night we finally carved pumpkins. Well, actually Todd finally carved pumpkins:) I can't wait until the kids can carve their own. The kids all scooped out their pumpkins and then made their carving requests to Dad. Todd did amazing at the carving jobs and we were all so proud of him.
