November 11th Thankfulness

Yesterday, I was thankful for...not much. I'm sick, the girls have been sick, and are still a little sick and Max had to go out of town for work. When he came home he wasn't feeling great. (You know how boys are when they aren't feeling great) Then, after dinner we were all sitting around watching So You Think You Can Dance (the dancing night) when I said: "I'm still hungry", and everyone else said: "ME TOO". And I said: "I'm hungry for cookies". And everyone else said: "Me TOO". So I got up, and made cookies. I tried to only make them during the commercial breaks but cookies are very important so I spilled into some of the dancing times. AND can you believe, No one paused the TV for me. I was NOT thankful for my family at moment.

Also, I did what any respectful person would do. I pouted. I told them that they could eat some cookies and then it was time for bed. I went to my room, shut slammed the door and watched So You Think You Can Dance all by myself. It was very mature of me. And I didn't even eat one of my own cookies.

So yesterday, I was just thankful for Sister Bott, who is the Activity Day leader for the 10-11 year old girls. She planned a combined activity for us and just asked me to bring scissors. How hard is that? She is a pleasure. Her activity was about being thankful! I didn't learn much?

Sister Bott is thankful that I am in charge of Decembers combined activity, she even said so. I am thankful that my Mom gave me 96% of what I need for Decembers activity.

Conference weekend...

This is what my child did during the LDS General Conference over the weekend.


She said she's growing it out.

Ruby got comfy on the couch with her good buddies.

We made scary sugar cookies during the two sessions on Sunday.

We made scary faces. Except for Maddy said she couldn't make a scary face so she just put her cookie in front of her mouth. Rarhhh.

On Saturday night, while the guys were at Priesthood Conference, Aunt Sharee said "do you Hairballs want to go to the mall" (she was talking to her own two girls: Eliza and Kate) Maddy piped right up first and said "SURE". So they went. Sharee bought Mads these socks. She's worn them practically every minute since. (They are two separate pairs, I was just multi -tasking my pictures)

Liza had cute socks on too and when I said so, she lifted up her feet and the threads were so worn you could see all of her feet showing through.

She said they were "breezy".
