Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

Including, apparently, my Wednesday post. I also put off Walmart (until today, and I still haven’t brought in my non-perishable purchases), Costco, making a baked good my 8-year-old will reliably eat for breakfast, making spaghetti sauce–you get the idea. On the other hand, we did teach our new Sunday School class on Sunday, I finally got my first batch of fruit leather base done and I’ve been making fruit leather, I did multiple PTA things, got my littles to therapy and back, had lunch with a friend in Lehi, and rendered my son’s room presentable again. (I generally don’t clean my kids’ rooms for them, but his had gotten bad, and more than half of the stuff belongs to his little sister, who no longer sleeps there but whose stuff is still mostly stored there.) I even did a decent amount of mid-week laundry! Thankfully, my hubby picked my niece and her family up from the airport on Monday AND got our youngest through her science fair project over the weekend; I did make raspberry jam with my 14-year-old, though! (He even took said niece and family TO the airport on his way to work the day after Halloween–it was so fun to have their 3-year-old trick-or-treat with my kiddos!) I took my older girls to see a friend’s school production of ‘Hunchback’ last Friday, however, and while I generally enjoy musicals, the music is really the ONLY thing I enjoy about that play. Still, we supported the friend–although my 14-year-old did NOT enjoy the production.

Anyway. Today there will be Costco later, plus my older daughter to run to the dance class she TAs for and my youngest to run to piano lessons. I’ve actually been cross-stitching on the project I’m working on for my sister-in-law, and tomorrow is Saturday. Who could ask for anything more?
