Cold Snap

It's been pretty cold here in Havasu lately.  It's been getting down into the low-mid thirties at night which feels really cold to us now, but we know it's nothing compared to the negative 15+ weather most everyone else has been having! 

This past week went by soooooo fast!  We've spent pretty much the whole week dealing with sick kids and sick mommy and daddy.  Hopefully it's on it's way out!  The older boys stayed home from school Monday and Tuesday and were finally feeling well enough to go back on Wednesday.  Max was supposed to start back to preschool on Thursday, but he wasn't feeling all the way better yet.  We're thinking he might be able to go tomorrow, but we'll have to see how he's doing in the morning.

Taylor has been working hard at getting the last few requirements for his Faith in God done before his Birthday coming up this week. One of the requirements was to help Primary leaders plan and carry out a Primary Activity- so yesterday we had a "Meet your new teacher Breakfast" for the primary kids and their teachers.  Taylor helped plan the food, decorations, and activities and it turned out great.  We had a lot more kids come than expected so we actually ran out of food.  There were a few kids who came about 45 min. late and were disappointed because the food was all gone.  What do you expect though, right? 

Today was Taylor's last Sunday in Primary.  We sang him a Happy Birthday song and a Farewell song and made sure to have him participate a lot :)  He looked so grown up standing up there in front of the Primary Room.

A few months ago we bought a big, ugly, mustard-yellow, filing cabinet at a yard sale for 10 bucks.  I finally spray painted it a chocolate brown color this past week and we got it moved inside from the garage.  It is so nice to have more room in the garage and to have all of our files and my scrapbook/craft stuff out of our bedroom closet and neatly put in the filing cabinet.  I have been in a "nesting" mood lately and have been organizing a lot and getting rid of stuff that we don't use. 

We took down the crib and moved Levi into a toddler bed.  I think he's doing pretty good, but he's been sick, so it's hard to tell if he's waking up at night because of being sick or because he's in a new bed.

Well, that's about it for now and I've got to go get started on dinner.  We're having Chicken Cordon Bleu casserole tonight (a Pinterest recipe favorite!) and the boys are very excited for it :)

Hope everyone is doing well and not freeeeezing too much!!
