Church week 14

Today was week 14 of at home church. I don’t have any pictures (I forgot) but it was still a great week. A scripture from our study today:
Alma 12:10
10 ​And therefore, he that will ​​​harden​ his heart, the same receiveth the ​​​lesser​ portion of the word; and he that will ​​​not​ harden his heart, to him is ​​​given​ the greater portion of the word, until it is given unto him to know the mysteries of God until he know them in full.

I couldn’t have a post without a picture (I know I already have lots 😂) so here is a picture from last December of my cute family.

Graduation

We found out earlier this week that Ben gets to have people come to his graduation!!! We still don’t know a number yet. But people get to come!

Friends

 Myra had a friend over this afternoon for a play date.
They took advantage of the beautiful weather and enjoyed
the tree deck.

Walk the dog

 It was Ben’s turn to take the dog for a walk this afternoon... Grace wanted to go with Ben.

You scream, I scream

 We all scream for ice cream!
Throughout the whole COVID lockdown we (the Oakwood primary presidency) have tried to find something fun for our primary kids. My second counselor came across a great idea. Today we had a drive by ice cream social. It was a lot of fun. It was nice to see people we haven’t been able to see for a few months. And of course there was ice cream, so that’s always fun!

Games

Spencer was bored/lonely this afternoon so we played a game. It was a speed monopoly. The only real difference was that once all the properties have been purchased there is an extra dice that makes you do things (like go to your opponents property). Since we started later in the afternoon, the speed version seemed like a good idea. I don’t know if Spencer even need the help. Spencer KILLED me! He landed on all the property (and bought them). He landed on free parking frequently, so he had lots of money.

Let’s go fly a kite

Yesterday was a hard day for me. At least it started out hard. But I didn’t want the hard day to win. So Josh and I decided to take the kids to the park and enjoy the windy afternoon and fly kites. Some of the kids had never flown a kite before (mom fail). But we fixed that. It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. It helped lift my mood and remind me of how blessed I have been and what wonderful kids I have (not that I ever forget the kids are wonderful)!
