How About More Snow

It is not sticking, just flurrying about. How about that. It turns out that Kristin doesn't want it to be summer and Tyler doesn't want it to be winter anymore. He likes the snow, but bring on the sun!
The downstairs is on hold for a couple of weeks while Dan is sick and we are going to visit Janet and family. How about Butterflies in Rebekah's bathroom?! Sounds good to me. Still working on picking out tile for the downstairs since the tile store wasn't open on Saturday when we went.
The kids are coming up with a new tradition for Sundays. We have church in the afternoon, so, in the morning, the kids pop some popcorn and sit down to watch a movie about one of the Prophets from Living Scriptures. Ah. Finally something they all like that is low key and Sunday oriented. I guess given enough time, they do come up with something. We started doing game night on Sunday evening as well. That has been a load of fun. We all look forward to that and we don't spend the evening dreading Monday morning! It feels reall good to laugh alot, too. It flows over to Monday morning, too. We all wake up alot happier. Hurray for UNO!!!

My Dilema

When I wake up early in the morning--4:30 ish, only today it was 3:30ish, what do I do? Do I put on my walking clothes and start the day off right with vitamins and everything? Or do I lay in bed for hours hoping for sleep that doesn't come? Do I read a little, thinking it will make me tired, but it never does? How about get up and make a great big breakfast for everyone? No, that makes noise and everyone would be up with me and that would not make for a happy evening later in the day. Let's see. I could...I don't know what else. Not clean. That is like rubbing salt in a wound. Anyhoo...just wondering.

Thanks, Company

Thank you Margie, Stacy, Aunt Marilyn and Uncle John for coming to see us this weekend. It was great to have a break from the normal routine. The family dinner was really alot of fun. That is one of the great things about living in Rigby. We are in an area more accecible to company!

A friend is coming tonight to help Dan work on the trim downstairs today. Such fun. We decided on the design for our downstairs bathroom. I can't wait to see it put together. Think "beach". Light wood with light tile and light blue walls. There will be 2 sinks, which is exciting. Pictures in a few months when it gets put together.

OK. Here is Kristin's jean bag. She did the sewing on it--she picked it right up. It will have a belt that matches the fabrid--to be finished after I get the sewing machine finished.
I think it is cute. She will make somemore when this one is done. Good job , Kristin!
