Jer the chocolatier.
I was getting the daycare kids their snacks when this baby decided that she was hungry. Seth was so cute. He went in there without prompting and started singing to her and bouncing her. I wish I could have recorded it, but I needed to finish feeding the toddlers and warm up her bottle before she got too desperate. My heart took a picture though.
We did a rush to get our tree this year. We had an hour between daycare getting out and Evelyn's dance class. We decided to rush and get it. Ada was late getting home from school because of play practice and she decided to stay and hang out with a friend at the elementary school playground. We called her to get home quick. We all got ready for dance and potty breaks. By the time she got home and we were all in the car, we only had 30 mins to drive to Provo, get the tree, drive Evelyn to dance by our house and then home to set up the tree. I grabbed a coat for Ada so we didn't have to wait while she went in to get one and it had already gotten pretty cold. I told her to hurry into the car and told her that here's her coat. She got so mad at me. She couldn't possibly wear her coat because she was wearing her hoodie. I told her she could wear both but not zip up the coat, and she didn't want anything to do with that answer. We were running late so I told her to not worry about the coat and just jump in the van. She told me to chill. I lost it. I just did 10 hours of daycare, got people dinner, got Evelyn ready for dance and told Sam that I'd take him to the insta-care after grabbing a tree.... then in waltzes my teenage daughter who had just come from playing at the playground and tells me to chill because she doesn't want the coat I had thought to grab as I went out the door. I get that she's a teenager and was probably just misreading what was going on but being told to chill when I was working so hard to take care of everyone really hurt. Teenagers. I won't hold it against her, but I really hope she learns from it.
Sam and I got dropped off at the instacare while Dad took Evelyn to dance. I really think that Sam had a sinus infection after having RSV for two weeks. The doctor said that he thinks it's the flu. He never did any nasal swabs or anything.... and I'm stubborn. I still think it was a sinus infection. Sam spent 2 days with a fever. We gave him decongestants and air humidifier in his room. No one else has caught it so...Ada just caught the RSV... Sam, Jer, Seth and I all had it, so maybe Evelyn will get it next or hopefully not at all.
Ada had her Christmas choir concert this week. She did a great job. She's been assigned to be an alto. She has a nice warm tone and large range, but I think she is an alto to balance out their sopranos. You could hear them really well, but not so much with the altos. I think Ada brings out their part in a good way. Because I hear her singing all the time, I could pick her out, but I don't think you could just pick her out without being familiar with her voice. I could also pick out Dani's voice.
For YW's we taught about DSLR cameras. They are a dying breed. Only Ada and one other girl knew about them at all. We showed a couple tips and then let them have fun. This is one that Ada took.
Ada and her friends Christmas shopping.
Finishing up chocolate dipping for friends that didn't make it to the party.
Sam had his band concert too. I missed it because I had a concussion migraine. I didn't think that a jr high band concert was the best venue for me at the moment. Jer says he did great.
Annual grinch picture. We forgot to get a family picture at the tree lot though. We were in a bit of a rush.
