My AMAZING kids

 



    So, I just was thinking about it's been a bit of a rough week, I started the week with a UTI and I started my period. So blah... I was outside checking the pool and the sky is all yucky because of the wildfires. I'm bummed, the weather is cooling off but I'm not going outside much because the air quality sucks. I started thinking about school stuff and thinking about how the school is doing a kindness week. I was thinking about chalking, but with the air quality that doesn't work... Then I think about how great my kids are.

  I have been told I have great kids, and not to sound full of myself... but I know. I know I have great kids, but this week they have been even more amazing.

    I will start with Tuesday...  Both kids have PE on Tuesday, they have a Zoom meeting with their PE teacher and then they have their assignment for PE. Claire runs up to me and tells me, "Mommy, did you hear, it's awful Mr. PE teacher is sick." Then she proceeds to make the PE teacher a get well card. At the end of the school day Evan tells me he sent an email to the PE teacher wishing him to get well soon. Oh be still my heart, these kids did this all on their own. 

     Wednesday we went to visit my mother in law. My mother in law recently had her knee replaced. So we get there and Claire asks her, "Can I get you anything?" Claire asked her several times during our visit if she could get her anything. This visit was not as exciting as most of our visits, but the kids were content just sitting and snuggling with their grandma. 

     Thursday the kids fixed dinner (with adult supervision). Evan made sloppy joes and Claire put together a salad. These kids man... I'm telling you they are amazing. 

I got this message from Claire's teacher;

Hi Heather, I wanted to share a sweet moment I had with Claire today. She raised her hand and waited for me to unmute her. When I asked her about her question she said, “I don’t have a question,but I want to tell you your the best teacher.” She melted my heart!!! ❤️ and made my day

From the music teacher about my kids;

Well you've got some super humans over there, I am very fond of you all!

    I'm just getting caught up with some of your blogs. Nice to be able to be honest and not be judged as on other sights. Good for you! You have a beautiful family and are doing a great job with those kiddos. They have precious hearts and it shows what a loving upbringing they are getting. I feel for all you mamas out there having to do the homeschooling. I tried when our kids were younger and we were in PNG but it just didn't work for me. It's definitely not an easy task. Hang on to your faith and I know God will see you through all this. I bet better days ahead will come once Mom and Dad are a short drive away too. Hang in there Heather! You are loved and doing great in spite of the circumstances of the day. Love you <3

Rafting Trip

Image
       It all started when my sister in law Sara told me she was headed up this way to visit with her daughter Savannah and they were thinking of going rafting. I naturally invited myself and Steve and the kids. So I started looking around for a rafting trip that I would be able to bring Claire. I found the perfect trip for us through Raft California. I booked a trip for the 6 of us. Steve's mom heard we were going and wanted to come along so we added her, then Savannah's roomate Iris wanted to come too so we were now a group of 8.          We met our tour guide at a hotel in Auburn. We piled onto the shuttle bus and headed to the American River. We were rafting the Lower Middle Fork American River. It was a blast!!! There was another group on the shuttle bus with us. A group of 3, two adults and a child... I'm guessing he was around 6 years old. Anyway, the ride down to the river felt forever long, we had to wear our face masks and the air d...

Goodbye 2020

Hang in there, this is likely going to be a long post because there is a lot of catching up to do. Please do hang in there, because I am looking for advice. So, my birthday. Oh my gosh was it fabulous. So yeah, that week Stevei was here and that was fun. 5 kiddos under the age of 8 running around the house. Oh did we all have fun. I'm being serious, not snarky and sarcastic. Those kids get along great and pretty much take care of themselves when they are together. The only reason Stevei and I had to be there was to make sure they ate once in a while and didn't die. On my birthday I went to dinner with some good friends, because at that time there was still this thing called indoor dining. It's where you go out to a building and sit down, there are menus where they let you choose what you want to eat and then they bring it to you. Yup snarkiness back. Down with Newsom. So, fabulous dinner with 2 of my girls. Felt very loved on my birthday. My most treasured gift for my birth...

October

Image
 A lot has happened in October. My parents moved to Lincoln, which is only 15 minutes away. We have already gotten back to having our weekly dinners. It's fantastic having my parents close by again. They love their little neigborhood. Their house is in a cul-de-sac, within the first 2 days just about all their neighbors came over and introduced themselves. Their next door neighbor baked them some bread. Just wow! It's so neat that there are still neigborhoods that work like that.  October is kind of a blur. Actually, 2020 is kind of a blur. I spent a good chunk of October angry. Really angry. I try to limit how often I go to the market, when I am at the market I try to get in and out as fast as I can. Then, I have a hard time breathing because I've been nearly jogging the market. I HATE WEARING A MASK!  Our family made the decision together that the kids would stick with online learning for the full school year. Our school went back to teaching on campus November 4. So, t...
