Connected at the Hip

 Have I mentioned that my youngest doesn't do well without anyone to play with?  He had the day off of school today, but all of his siblings have school.  That means he's quite literally attached to me for the day no matter what the activity.  This was my view during scripture study this morning.

Track Meet

 Little Man's back at it again this year on Varsity Track.  He got a new PR running the 1600 meters yesterday.  He clocked 5:08.  He's hoping to break the 5 minute mark by the end of the season.  

8th Grade Improv

 Little Lady had an improv performance for her theater class yesterday.  We got to come during the school day to watch her and the other 8th graders perform.  It was a great reminder that improvisation is hard and definitely a learned skill.  Also, middle school is a dumpster fire.  All of their improv went straight back to "You cheated on me."  :)

 

A Bobbin Issue

 I started quilting only to realize I forgot to match the thread in the bobbin.  The problem is that I didn't notice until the bobbin ran out, so half of the back in dark red thread and half of it is the matching yellow thread.  Oops.  I thought it would look worse than it did, but it's honestly not that bad.  

Conference Weekend

 I love General Conference.  The boys put together a puzzle, Little Lady took notes, and we enjoyed each other's company.  I went to World Market and bought a couple of different candies to try.  Each bowl was a different word: Christ, Covenant, and Temple were the words for Saturday evening session.  When they heard the word they got to take a candy from the bowl.  Elder Stevenson must have said Christ at least 22 times, because that bowl was cleaned out in one talk.  Their favorite candy of the weekend was the Mamba Magic sticks.  

As is tradition, on Sunday morning I made Grandma Leona's cinnamon rolls.  I'm always sad when Conference is over.  Joel smoked a pork butt and we had Grandma and Grandpa Thompson over for dinner.

Youth Temple Trip

 BB was so excited to go back to the temple again.  We have such a fun youth group.  I love that they love each other.

Braces No More!

 She's so excited to be getting her braces off in her birthday month!

Choir Concert

 Little Man had his Spring Choir Concert tonight.
