Last Week

This little girl turned two last Monday.



She was afraid of the candles on her cupcake. She kept telling me "Hot, Hot!" as she moved further and further away from them! For her birthday, Jason worked hard transforming this book shelf (we forgot to take a picture of just the shelf, here it's already had the peg board added along with a piece on the front, and the hole for the sink cut out)...



into this kitchen. I still need to change the frame into a chalkboard/grocery list. And we're thinking of adding a small shelf above the hooks. He did an amazing job on it, even the faucet is hand-made.



Last Tuesday, I was served cookies and ice cream (thank you Grandma Lo) from her kitchen.





Last Wednesday, I was in charge of my first mutual activity with the Young Women for their Personal Progress. We compared the way plants grow to the way our testimonies grow. We then planted wheat grass and modge-podged on a monogram.





While preparing for the activity, I gathered almost all of the plants in my house and displayed them together. When Jason got home he decided he really liked it (I was a little on the fence about it) so I left it. The branches are just some from a bush that I brought in a month or so ago and forced them to bloom inside. They're getting pretty shriveled and I've loved them and don't know what to replace them with.

On Thursday, Spencer got all decked out in his 'early' birthday presents from my parents. He loves new pajamas and he wore them all day while trying out his roller blades. He's done way better on them than we thought he would!



Later that afternoon we taped a tube from a roll of wrapping paper to our door and the kids rolled marbles down it and tried to catch them in a basket.





On Friday, I started getting ready for Spencer's birthday and Easter. My dad picked the kids up that evening and took them to the store and to a parking-lot carnival next to the sporting goods store they went to. While they were gone and Kimmie watched Carson, I managed to get all my housework done and made the kids their birthday shirts (see my last post). I loved making them!

On Saturday, we had a few of Spencer's cousins and friends over for his party.
On Sunday, we had a nice, quiet Easter at my mom's. The pictures from Sat. and Sun. are still on my camera and I'm too lazy to upload them, so I'll have to add them later.

I can't even remember the number of trips I made to Wal-Mart. It was a crazy, busy week but I enjoyed almost all of it!
