Weekend of Fun

Lee was out of town this weekend and I just couldn't handle the thought of all four kids and I home all weekend.  Too overwhelming.  So on Friday morning I took the little boys to a field trip a pumpkin patch with their preschool.  Freezing cold fun. 

That evening we went to another pumpkin patch  (one of the hospitals I work at gave us two free tickets and a super discount on remaining purchased tickets) with my sister and all four kids. My sister took the older kids and I took the little boys. 

Saturday Victoria had a ballet rehearsal and before that was a parent meeting.  So I left Jake with the little boys.  Then we went on a hike.  There is several different ways to the top of Table Rock and I was looking for the easy way up.  But never found it.  So the kids and I hiked the 3.2 miles round trip up the cross that over looks the city.  One of my favorite hikes.  The older kids were able to take off before us and the little boys and I took much longer there and back but we made it. 

Sunday after much debate I took the kids to second and third hour of church.  It went fairly well. I was disappointed that we missed the talks because I knew the two women speaking and really wanted to hear their talks. 

It was a great weekend.  Despite me being sick.

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately.

I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.

Here is what we have been up to for the past couple of weekends,  Jake had his first soccer game.  Shawn came to visit.  Lee got a new RC truck that he loves and so do the kids.  They spend the weekend chasing the truck which totally wore them out.  We did some gardening.  Victoria and I went to Weiser to a baptism of one of my previous foster kids.  It was so great to see the family again.  I really miss seeing them on a monthly basis.  We played newspaper tag with Shawn and Demitri. Grandma Gina and Grandpa Don stopped by for a little while on their way home.  Oh yea and the primary had a bug day where the kids dressed up like bugs.  Victoria was a butterfly and Jake was a bee.  I  have four more days left of the semester.  Lee is in Kamiah this week to spend some time with Shawn before basic as well as some other things.
