I haven't decided if I am going to record what we do on Saturdays and Sundays. We still do many good learning things, so I guess I should. I also think that I will need a break somewhere, so we'll just have to see what happens.
Saturday Seth worked to get some over-time, so I took him to work at 6:30 A.M.. I called the kids at home (Kortney, Nathan & Cameron) using the cell phone just before Seth got out of the car and found out they had a fire!!! Nathan was making his bed and bumped a tall floor lamp and it just started on fire. It sounds like they were wondering what to do for a while. They finally decided to unplug the lamp and the fire eventually went out. They were blessed that nothing happened but scaring them quite a bit. The house also smelled very bad for most of the day.
The kids did all their instrument practicing, many Saturday chores and a big library trip. We got to spend the evening with Seth which was a treat. I had a singing practice with Tricia, Kara & Lisa for the song we sang in Relief Society today in our ward. We also had a hair cutting party in our kitchen. Lisa came over to cut Kortney's hair (her first big cut since she was 2 yrs. old) and the Ford family came to get Bella's hair cut. Kortney is happy about her hair. It is very cute! The three older kids watched "Man From Snowy River" with Seth and really had fun! I had a headache, so I went to bed with Tylan and Millie.
Sundays we relax. Kortney practiced her harp because she played in Relief Society today ("Army of Helaman"). We had a fun Family Council this morning. We mixed our family scripture study with it and talked a lot about prayer and fasting. We went over our upcoming week's schedule and have some fun things we get to do this week. Church and our singing and harp playing responsibilities went well. We've spent the evening making Valentine's cookies for others. It was Seth's idea and the kids all loved it. They really wish they could do a lot more of the touching and tasting!
