Snooooooooooooooooow!!

There was about an inch snow this morning and the kids were thrilled. They spent the morning walking through it and throwing it on each other. The older ones happily went to school and I got through my workout and then hung out at home with the younger two. Dad came home looking for someone to go over to the sisters apartment with him. They had a leak in their roof and so we went to check it out and found Grandma's washer hose was in the wrong place and had leaked all over the floor and into their apartment. We soaked it all up with towels and wiped everything down before she even got home. Aunt Jennifer came to visit so we got to say hi to her. She brought up a good point in one of our conversations, their family had been asked to do a part in their stake conference about family councils and how they can be effective. They did a play like example and her part was talking about how Cam had dedicated three house and so that dictated what they brought into their house. Just as you wouldn't bring certain movies or songs, or things into the temple our house if dedicated unto the lord is just as the temple and shouldn't be desiccated by such things. I appreciated the reminder.

I took Ava through the snow while Buddy was napping and we went to say hi to Grandma Harrison. It was nice to see her It has been a few weeks since I have seen her so it was great to say hi. Mom had a funeral to go to so we only stayed about an hour before going back home.

I called Natalie Foley finally. I have been meaning to for weeks now. I can tell she is having a hard time being at home and living with her mom. I feel bad that she doesn't like her ward and she feels like they aren't as nice to her and all that. Also there aren't many kids there and Zack is the only YM in the whole ward which is really too bad. He definitely needs more support of the youth. I know I need to be better at supporting new members in the ward and making them feel welcome. I am an outskirts kind of person and just kind of drift to the middle eventually but I know It is hard for people not to feel apart of things and to stress about it. I wish she had more support.

The kids played in the snow again after school until dinner. We got to talk to you earlier then normal so we could go to FHE at grandma olsons. We had a nice time and acted out some scripture stories Our family did the story of Joshua and the city of Jericho. The kids had a great time destroying the city of lego we had built after we all walked around it a bunch of times. Alyssas family did Samuel the Lamanite and had a plastic sheet that they put in front of Brigham to protect him from all the stones and arrows of the Nephites. It was a lot of fun. We played "Do you love your Neighbour?" before eating treats. It was a great time by all. It was hard getting the kids back inside and out of the snow and into bed but it happened eventually and I am super exhausted. I am having a hard time for the last few days I just feel exhausted. I may be coming down with something because I feel like I am going to bed early and waking up with the kids around 7 but still around dinner time I am dragging, well really by lunch time but I can stretch that till dinner, usually.

The kids are singing in the Remembrance day program tomorrow and the next day. It will be on YouTube so you can watch it if you want to.

I wish I had more time to talk to you in the day and that our days lined up better so that one of us didn't have to stay up all night so we could talk. But I am thankful for the opportunity nonetheless. I hope you know how much brighter my day gets with even a small text message from you. I love you and I hope you can get to work soon:)

I hope we can meet in dreams and that you aren't married to someone else or not wanting me like all the other dreams I have had. I just am excited for these next few months to fly by. but now I need to sleep... and to finish my Sundays entry, I kind skipped some for a bit I will try and get it finished and out to you soon. I love you. You make me happy when the world is covered with snow. I love you more then Preston loves to throw things. More then Izaac loves water, More then Ava loves sparkly dresses, more then Cora loves candy. You are awesome... and I like you.
