We bought a large clothes dryer in hopes of cutting down on some costs by not using our dryer. My mom saves $15 a month using her clothes dryer. Anyhow, what was most fun about getting it, was that the kids spent hours playing with the box. They made a house, a ramp to slide down, and all sorts of other things out of it. It was truly, priceless!
The other night, Nathan and I were watching a movie in our room and the kids were busy in their room. The next morning (I had an invitation the night before but had fallen asleep), the kids invited me to see their decorations. I thought they had done such a cute job of making their room, more their own. Apparently, I need to get them access to more things to decorate with, though.
… at least that’s what my piano book says. If you didn’t catch it in one of my previous posts, I started taking piano lessons January 18. I have loved every minute of it, though admit that during practice time, some of those minutes have been far more frustrating than others. I have THE BEST teacher ever and she is super patient with me and gets so excited and that makes me excited. I hope to one day have her love of music. So, in honor of me playing, and my husband having wanted one since the day we got married, we bought a piano. It needs some work, outside and in, but I love it. Obviously, we are in need of a piano bench too, which Nathan plans on just making one. I never realized how much I would enjoy having music in our home.
So, March has finally brought some snow to Utah. The kids were so excited and went outside, with Chloe, to have some fun.
Saturday, Nathan decided to build a track in the snow for his RC car. He even invited Aaron Wells over to run his RC truck on the track as well. Then, there was a snowball fight! We are grateful to finally have some fun in the snow!
I was so excited to show Avery that I switched the background of my blog to giraffe print because she LOVES giraffes. She looked at it said, “Oh.” I don’t think she really sees the similarity to a giraffe. Honestly, I don’t really either. Anyhow, she then asked me to show her the previous posts and said, “You didn’t even do my Valentine’s picture,” with the saddest expression ever. She’s right, I didn’t do her Valentine’s picture, so here it is. I apologize to her, and everyone, that my blogging has been less than par. I have also included a picture of Dylan’s Valentine’s gift. He chose not to be in the picture.
This month we discussed ‘The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.’ It was a good book, though based on the title I was hesitant to read it at first. The book is written completely as letters between all of the characters. It is amazing how the author was able to keep all of their voices so strong and distinct in each letter. I do wish the story had been continued a little more, the book seemed to have more to offer.
A friend of mine posted this on her blog. I thought it was so funny, I copied it to share with all of you!
