Family Last night we attended a musical melodrama theater. The show was based around pirates with the tunes from popular culture. Hurricane sat and danced to the music. Underfoot was very tired and at one point fell asleep in his chair. He then slid off and hit the floor. It startled the people around us. We had a good time. Underfoot asked if after church we were going back to watch the show again.
L4 He returned to work and was given a pile of new tasks.
On Thursday L4 assembled the shelf reliance food rotation system we got.
After lunch on Friday, L4 called from work to let me know he had received a promotion at work. Nothing will change except that more will be expected of him from his employer. Good job L4!
On Friday evening, he went camping with the 11 year old Boy Scouts from church. After he returned he worked on the AC in Fred the car. He discovered that a wire had been severed and fixed the problem. With the problem fixed, Fred started to blow cold air. It was a simple fix, and L4 knew how to fix it! Even better it took brain power and time but no money.
Mama I worked on laundry, ironing, cleaning up from our trip, and some organizational things for Bountiful Baskets. Underfoot sat by my side as I worked. He is my faithful companion especially when Hurricane is asleep. I love that he wants to be with me. I made realization that I need to change some of things I do as a parent. What I need to change isn’t completely clear in my head yet. I am working on it daily. My biggest focus is to put my children very first with their requests and being with them. I don’t want to miss any moments.
I took a CPR and first aid class this week. I am grateful to have the refresher course. I learned a few new things like if a someone who is diabetic has high blood sugar they smell fruity. I also learned that it is important to wear a bracelet if you have a medical condition. It will help the paramedics or others know how to help if someone has a medical problem.
I surprised L4 and bought us a bed frame. While he was gone camping, I bought the bed, the family who I bought it from delivered it, cleaned out our room, and tried to put it together by myself. That didn’t work so well. So the next morning a neighbor helped me. I got it all put together with the bed made before he got home. We feel like we are grown ups now instead of college students. With second-hand items, the price is right, and we will enjoy it.
Underfoot
- Underfoot likes to talk and tell me what is happening in the moment. He is starting to tell jokes and wants to learn to do “homework” in coloring books, reading books, and an etch-a-sketch.
- We went swimming this week at a friend’s house. He did great on his own and floated.
- Underfoot likes to wear his “sword.” The sword is the mixing tool for our Vitamix which is not allowed out of the house. He will take it on and off as he goes in and out through the day.
- Underfoot is also starting to be very helpful. He does tasks that I ask with perfect follow through! I love it! He even wants to help me in the jobs I am doing.
- Hurricane also wants to help in all the tasks around the house. He does it to the best of his almost 2 year old ability.
- Hurricane continues to be head strong. Our hope is that we can steer that will into doing good.
- Hurricane loves to talk on the phone and wants to say “hi” to anyone that calls on the phone. He will usually tell them he loves choo-choos.We have to start some where.
- He travels very well when he is fed and we sing together.

Great week! I think the sad things need to be put down like you said just for the fact that they are written down. They make us stronger (usually), if they don't kill us first.
