We got home Saturday. The kids had been really great travelers until the last day... then they were loud and squirmy, but we made it home without incident.
Sunday was my parents mission report in their ward. Their ward is a new one, so they actually didn't know very many people yet and there were a lot of kids squirming in sacrament meeting. Mine were definitely louder than usual. I think they were glad to be home and glad that Grandparents were home too. Both of their talks were excellent and then we went to my parents house with cousins, and second cousins that had come. I love that my Mom's cousins still come to support things when they can. It's always so good to see them.
Seth got home to a birthday card from Grandma Robertson. He loved it and wanted me to take a picture of the Hippo birdie 2 ewe.
Monday was a try to catch up from the last three weeks and prepare for the next two ones for me. I have a list of things a mile long. We also came back to one of our trees had fallen down and had split our baby silver maple tree on it's way down. So we're going to be cutting up trees this week. My sister, Sharon, and my parents were going to the Humanitarian Center to tie quilts while my sister Janelle watched Sharon's babies for the morning. They asked if Ada and Evelyn wanted to go. They had a complete blast and loved it. Both girls want to tie quilts at home now to donate. They both love that Grandpa ties quilts too. Then I went with Sharon to my neighbor's house that sells Lularoe clothing to get some school shirts for Ada and Emma. It's always fun to chat with my sisters. I think Thea is starting to like me. She only cried once when I held her this weekend and fell asleep on me twice.
Tuesday morning, the sisters I minister to and I went to the Butterfly biosphere for $2 Tuesday. It was fun but extremely busy. Then we had back to school night. I was volunteered to be the PTO president elect.... which means that they're training me this year to take over the President position next year. I really haven't ever done anything with the PTO before. I enjoy helping in the kids classes, which is probably why they asked me to do it. That means that I took the kids to back to school night at 5:30 and was there until 8. I got all the paperwork done, but I still have some emails to teachers to write. My Mom and Dad took Seth on a Kindergarten date. They took him out for ice cream and to get him some good school shoes. He was so thrilled and had to tell me everything. (Thanks mom!)
Today is Wed. I'm in great need of a shower, my ministering sister came by to see how our trip was and to ask about Sam's scouting stuff (she's his scout leader). She's super sweet and it's kind of funny watching a new mom with all the new mom worries. The kids are in swimsuits and playing in the water outside. Ada is painting at the table. I'm trying to get ready for Evelyn switching dance studios and trying to decide if I'm going to keep teaching fencing with the new fencing club. The next couple of days should have less mental things and more catch up stuff. By Saturday, I'm anticipating that we'll be all caught up and in the school swing again. Next week looks like a breeze.
