No Work and All Play

So, I just finished up my summer course teaching government and I am feeling like a new woman.  I don't teach again until November.  It has been two days of getting caught up and just being with my girls.  Some crazy things have happened in our world the last couple of weeks and once again I have gained so much comfort from just watching and being with Kayt and Ella.  While I hate to have the reminders I am grateful for how much more I love being a mother after each little trial. 

It may get old sooner rather than later but I have just loved taking care of my husband, my girls and my house the last few days and having nothing else to worry about.  I really do find joy in being a stay at home mom.  Scott has had a crazy schedule the last week and I love that I can cook him a good meal and make the house feel nice and welcoming after his long crazy days.  I love that my patience is increased by not stressing about students.  I love that I have to bring my girls with me to mutual.  I am just oozing with happiness right now!  I am so blessed.

I also wanted to jot down a few things about the girls as well.

Kayt:
Kayt can swim!!  I am not just talking keep herself floating but she can full on swim in very deep water and for long distances.  She swim the entire width of the pool!  Her new trick in jumping into the deep and end and swimming back to the side by herself!

The girls have resorted to stuffed dogs.  After many months of convincing me they should have one they finally gave up.  Now Hoewa and Sadie go everywhere.  I keep telling them stuffed dogs are better because they can go more places.  Kayt keep reminding me that she still wants a real one someday.

Ella:
Ella came to Scott the other day while I was sleeping and said, "I'm tired"  Scott "okay go get your Jammies on and I will read you stories."  Ella disappeared for a moment and came back "Daddy can I hold you?"  It melted his heart and mine when I heard the story. 

I came into the room yesterday while Ella was watching Elmo and she was doing the hokey poky with the show.  She has never done that before but she really got into it.  I watched inconspicuously and she put her whole self and shook it all about.

There is more, but it is late and time for bed!! 

Funny E-mail

I recieved the following e-mail today from our relief society president.  While I should be bothered and probably a little paranoid, I am just laughing!!

"I've been asked by a sister in the ward to send out an e-mail informing parents of Primary-age children that her Primary-aged children have lice."

I guess they need to include a sign outside of the primary, not just the nursery, about keeping children with bugs growing on their head home.  No really, honest mistake I am sure but I will be digging out the number two pencil, sharpening it up and combing it through Kayt's hair this week!

You gotta love church!
