- Addy's school celebrated Chinese New Year this week. I was lucky enough to volunteer for their class party to celebrate the holiday. I helped in the food/story room. They got to try some traditional chinese food and learn about the Chinese calender and the animals associated with each year. (Addy was of course one of the few kids that liked the chinese food...she loves fancy food:) I really enjoy seeing Addy in her element at school and how she interacts with the other kids.
- The school also celebrated the '100th Day of School' this week. The kids were invited to dress up as if they were 100 years old. This is Addy on her way to school! She kind of put the ensemble together herself:) She loved walking around with Grandpa Bassett's cane he got in Germany.
- The girls just couldn't take it anymore and they had to go outside to roller skate. Addy has been dying to skate since these were her Christmas present. The sidewalks were finally a little clear so off they went.
- On Tuesday night Todd was asked to come into the Stake President's office. He was sure he was going to be called as the Stake Dog Catcher but no...Todd was asked if he would serve as an assistant Ward Clerk. He enjoys this calling so he's happy about it:)
- Todd was also able to take a concealed weapons class at work. He's been wanting to do this for a while so he was excited to take the class. Now we're just waiting for the official certificate in the mail.
- On Friday night I was able to to have a Girls Night with the ladies from the U. I seriously love all these awesome women. We met up at the Blue Iguana in Salt Lake and talked for hours. Two of them have had babies since I had last seen them so it was fun to meet their precious little ones. These ladies are the only reason I miss living at the U:)
- While I was at my GNO Todd stopped by his parents and the girls ended up spending the night over there. The next day they informed me how fun it is at Grandma and Grandpa's house since they let them do whatever they want. Hahaha! They watched movies, ate treats and even went to the donut shop the next morning. Those girls have got Grandpa wrapped around their little finger.
- When Todd walked into his parent's house the next morning this is what he found and this is exactly why I love my father-in-law so much! He was putting the girls' hair into pony tails using the vacuum cleaner! He would put the rubber band around the hose, suck up the hair and then stick the band around their hair that was all sucked up! Seriously cracking me up! The funniest part was that Addy asked me to do her hair like that the next day!
- Saturday while I was working (and sick as a dog at work) and the girls were at the grandparents, Todd took Bodee to Home Depot for the free kid workshop. They built me a little Valentines mailbox. It is so cute and Bodee was so proud of himself. He even got himself a little Home Depot apron. Adorable!
- Here are Daddy and son reading scriptures together. Love both of these boys!
- Today was the Superbowl! Even though I didn't really care for either team we headed over the Chris and Cathy's for the party. Todd watched the games, the kids played with cousins, and I talked to Kate for most of the night! Nice Sunday evening.
- My favorite line from Brynn this week:
Brynn: You let me sit in a booster before I was 4 years old.
Me: Yes, I did. You were almost 4 and you were begging for it.
Brynn: You didn't respect the law, mom!
Me: Ummmmm....
5 minutes later:
Me: Thanks for obeying me Brynn. (When she was doing what I asked.)
Brynn; I respect my parents.
