A Play And...

 

Busy week around here. Biggest of all, for my Bentley, was his play at school: Grammarosaurus. He performed it Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for most of the grades at school, and for all of the 2nd grade parents. We were invited to see him at 8:30 am on Friday morning and it was such a cute play! It reminded me a lot of School House Rock because the tunes of the little songs they sang were so catchy and taught all about correctly matching up plural nouns and plural verbs or how to use pronouns in sentences. Cares has been singing the songs all weekend (she did see the play twice—lucky girl!)

I love this picture—can you tell getting to the school by 8:30 was a little crazy for us? Livs and Cares look thrilled about it and we didn't have time to change Luke out of his nightgown.

On Thursday morning I got to see Caroline's finished recital piece at ballet and parents were invited to film the dance too. I love that those little ballerinas have learned their whole dance and the concert is still about 6 weeks out! They will be pros by June :)

On Wednesday night with the Young Women we had a professional organizer come teach us some great tips and give clever, affordable ideas for organizing and keeping our things clean and orderly. Of course I loved all that she shared and took home plenty of ideas and inspiration. One of the things I am implementing from the night is to take a space, sit down in it (or in front of it) and plan the reorganization and the timeline. Good advice for me as I am someone who just dives in when I have a free hour or so (and closets and laundry rooms never take just an hour to redo...)

Sister Chapel's display on Wednesday night—see my cute YW Daisy posing in the mirror?

And so, I had a busy Thursday and Friday working on my room and closet and it was quite satisfying.

Today, Livs attended her first birthday party for a friend—so cute! It was just across the street and my sweet neighbor told Cares she could come as Olivia's "helper" and join in on the fun. The girls were so excited and had a great time (thanks Kristin!) It was actually really great to have them occupied while we did our Saturday cleaning today—they may not be the best at staying on task and helping rather than getting new things out.

We spent the late afternoon running errands in Orem—the Toys R Us there had a ride along trailer bike that Joseph has had his eye on so we made the trek down south. I'll have to get some pics of the kids riding behind Joseph's bike with him—they only had about 20 mins to use it tonight before bed.
