Megan finally used her stash of old hotel key cards, gift cards, etc. to make an art project. Lucky us, we all got to do some cutting out this week. Ow. But it turned out pretty cool, I think.
She and Ryan were also working on some crazy hand thing. I came home from rehearsal to find them playing with insulation foam, hot glue, tape hands, etc. If you ask me, it’s kind of creepy.
The first attempt didn’t work so well, so she was going at it again this weekend. We’ll post pics when done.
Saturday we purchased a utility trailer for hauling grass, junk, couches, etc. since our truck died. We got lots of work done. The girls had to help with the YW fundraiser. They were making and delivering ready to bake (or freeze) meals. Saturday night Ryan and I went to see the Drowsy Chaperone at the SCERA Theater. It was fun to see people I know both in the show and in the lobby.
I decided to list our two naughty birds on KSL. Just tired of them hiding under things and then running out to bite my toes when I walk by. I have been telling the kids they would have to go if they couldn’t be nice. Six birds is too many, and these ones have been terrorizing us in our own home, so it’s time to go. I priced them quite low, at $75 for two birds and a cage, and I had several inquiries. The one guy came and bought them on Sunday night. We did not tell him about their recent behavior, but are hoping they behave themselves in new surroundings. We did show him how tame and friendly they are, tell him they need lots of attention, and did explain that they do sometimes bite, but that we haven’t been bleeding from their bites. Here’s hoping they like their new family. Our kids will really miss them, but I did say we could decide as a family how to spend that $75.
The highlight of the weekend was going with Megan to the Stake Patriarch’s so she could get her blessing. It was a really special experience and I’m so glad she let us come with us.
May is upon us, full speed ahead. We have concerts, end of the year parties, graduation stuff, musicals to audition for, and subbing jobs. I’m trying to be organized and get everything on the calendar so we don’t double (or triple book) if we can help it. I love May. It’s the most beautiful month here in Utah. And the activities are usually fun. It’s just getting to all of them without losing our sanity.
How was your weekend?
I love that dinosaur. It looks like a prize winner!!!
Also, glad you got those naughty birds out of the house!
