Well, this morning I did not get out of bed until 9:15.

Well, except for the time at 6:10 when John came into our bed to begin our little wake up routine of playing with my hair and whispering to me until I get up and make him some pea-butter toast. But, since it was too early, I took him back to his bed and told him it was not time to be up yet, and he must have gone back to sleep.

When I woke up at 9:15 I was so excited! Hooray! I got to sleep in! The kids must have all gotten up and it looked like Cole had made John some peanut butter toast, so they were all happily watching nick Jr in their pajamas (no school today.) So, after a little cleaning, I’ll send the kids out to play and find friends to play with, maybe go shop for a baby gift for a friend later, and hopefully have a relaxing day!

How was your morning?

Oh, it’s fun when we have houseguests! Robin and her kids came up to enjoy some winter (80 degrees every day in AZ just wasn’t doing it for them), and have been here for a few days. How nice that the weather cooperated for them, and they got a taste of winter every day! The kids had a BLAST, and made a huge snow fort in the back yard, using just about every available snowflake in the yard. We went to eat lunch with the kids at school, went to the dinasaur museum, went out to dinner at Los Hermanos, and basically had as much fun as we could in the few days they were here.

Although I love it when we have guests, that means there are more dishes, more food to make, and more noise.

So, today, although I’m sad that they left, I will enjoy the quiet, try to get the house back in order, and hope that it will stop snowing.

Well, I had a pretty busy weekend. We had an all day Mass Bell Ring up at Davis High school on Saturday, where 18 different bell choirs from Utah came together for hours and hours of rehearsal, and then a huge concert in the afternoon. So I wouldn’t have to drive up there at 6 in the morning, I stayed overnight on Friday with my friend Liz. It was fun to chat with her Friday night, and nice to not have to drive up there in the morning, but I must say it wasn’t a good night’s sleep. I really need my own bed–I’m that set in my ways.

Saturday was a long day, but fun in it’s own right. It was neat to hear other choirs, and with all 18 choirs playing the same songs, it was really an incredible sound (of course, we were in the back, so we couldn’t hear much of the other choirs).

Sunday I taught my lesson in Relief Society, which went well, and then after a nice nap, Robin, her new boyfriend, and her kids came for dinner. The kids were thrilled to have them here again, and will be enjoying them for the next few days while they are here. They are making snow forts and having a blast in the cold.

I’m feeling a bit under the weather today. I’ve got a cold, sinus pressure and I’ve had diarhea most of the day. So, to avoid thinking, I found someone else’s funny stuff to copy for today. I hope you enjoy a laugh (I especially enjoyed #3 and #4).

I love animals, they taste great.

EARTH FIRST! We’ll stripmine the other planets later.

“Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.”

For you knitters out there, take note, and please don’t knit your kids anything like this, the comments about it were “a toilet rug with ribbon”, and I have to agree.

My friend, Robin asked me to come up with some kind of poem for the Relief Society Birthday party for her, and being the good friend that I am, I did. Mind you, it’s not my best work, just off the top of my head, but until I come up with something better, I’ll share it with you.

Sing this to the tune of “close to you” by the Carpenters (you know it, just think it through a little bit):

Why do casseroles suddenly apear
Every time we are near?

Just like me
They want to be
In Relief Society

Why does service happen every day
Even though we get no pay?

Just like me
They want to be
In Relief Society

On the day that it was formed the angels got together
And told Joseph Smith exactly what to do
So he organized the sisters and told them charity never faileth
Do be do

That is why
All the sisters now
Have sweet spirits
And are worth 8 cows

Just like me
They want to be
In Relief Society

Wha-ooh-ooh- ooh ooh
Relief Society

What-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Relief Society
