Dancing with Daffodils

 What a week. It was busy and had some good moments and a few really frustrating ones. I suppose that is normal. Monday Brandon was supposed to go to school but they cancelled all in-person learning this week because of the increased covid numbers so that was a bummer for me. Thankfully he is pretty happy to go or to stay home so that makes it easier to manage. I had a ministering interview with Michelle, did laundry, helped a lot with school stuff, taught piano and got a bunch of random spaces cleaned. Tuesday was a really busy day. I was teaching how to make rolls for a Relief Society meeting that night and so I made one batch in the afternoon so we could have them for dinner and I could show the finished product. Then I had piano lessons, school of course, then I made a nice dinner and watched Chelsea's kids so she could take her oldest to an appointment, made another batch of rolls, helped Lily plan a last minute youth activity, then taught the class. I think it went pretty wel...

 Nothing too exciting happened this week. Well, the election happened but I feel relatively unexcited by it all. Monday was laundry, school stuff, piano lessons and family night. Tuesday the kids didn't have school because it was Election Day so first we did some cleaning and then they all came with me to vote. It took about 45 minutes but they were patient and good so it all worked out. Then we went to Target to get Curtis a hot wheels car he really wanted and Michael's to get Lily her Cricut stuff and we got lunch at Chick-Fil-A. It was a fun outing and then I taught piano and got the girls to dance.  Wednesday I sent Brandon off to school again and he was happy to go. Going once a week is kind of weird but I'll take it. Even just having one less kid to worry about all day with school work makes such a big difference. I did body pump and read a lot. I just finished Becoming by Michelle Obama and it was cool to finish it right around another election because she talks a lo...

 Another week has gone by. It was okay. Monday was laundry, ironing, I made homemade bread for dinner and taught piano. I love that Mondays we don't go anywhere and so it can be my domestic day. I still spend a lot of time with school work but without any outside activities, I can spend time doing home things and I like that.  Tuesday I helped a lot with school, taught piano and then dropped the girls off at dance while the boys and I went to Target to get some school supplies for Brandon. Wednesday morning we actually did the school thing for the first time since March 13. Only one kid of four but it was still exciting and weird/not weird to make a school lunch and pack a backpack. It was so fun to watch him get on the bus (only 3 kids actually rode the bus) and say hello to our bus driver that my kids all like. I was a bit sad and cried for a minute but Emma was super sad and upset that he went on the bus without her so we snuggled for awhile. We ended up having a nice day t...
