House stuff

Today is MLK and we cleaned out the basement room (Ellie will be upstairs for a while more) and after lunch we are going to tackle the garage. Josh bought some some of mental hacksaw from his dad and Papa Smurf delivered it. Then, while I was trying to not run over Ashley's toes as I backed out the garage one morning, I left my car door open and it plowed into the machine. It knocked it over on the garage floor and broke some major pieces (even in my inexperienced mind I could see some major pieces were not in the right places). But Ashley was fine! And the car door did not break off! And we all managed to push it back into the garage so we could close the door and not be late to school.

Me, again

Hey, I realized this morning that I am still only STARTING week 5 of recovery! I should still be taking two naps a day! I am doing mostly good. Need nap. Good to have list of things to do - gives me motivation to have a list. Wounds are healing. Working hard to keep everything moist and not weepy. Mentally I am ok also. I do get freaked out sometimes. Focus on breathing is good. I am so tired at night, but try to stay up to at least 9:30. Sleeping good. Working on adapting new idea that I can lay around some. Last night I picked a movie and watched all of it while I waited to go to bed!

Seeters

See I was seriously worried that I put "Play with sisters" on my goal list this month and yet there were no sister-playing activities in sight! Fortunately MLK day came and we had more time to play with weekend! We went down to Provo after school on Friday and went to the Norman Rockwell exhibit at the BYU art museum. It was pretty cool. Rockwell had total buck teeth. His models had to stand still for hours before photos were common and he could paint from those. He liked models who would raise their eyebrows really high. Heather and Holly took me 'little bra' shopping! Sara had a small intervention and my sisters saw my new boobies. A good time was had by all.

Crafts

So Josh is totally enjoying my surprise Christmas present (the 3-D printer) and here are two of the things he has made for us: a rocket and a tower dice-thrower (for those of use with less than excellent dice throwing skills) You put the dice in the top and they tumble out. Also here is my newest snowman-crafty table runner. Go snowmen!

Food storage

Josh got dedicated and worked on fixing up the downstairs food storage (also because he wanted to move the little freezer down there for space in the garage for his gadgets.)
So after a day of work, here it is! Very organized.

Stuffies and hide-outs

We are very fond of stuffies and hide-outs in our house. Here are some that Ash and Moo created recently. Ashley would like you to see how the chickens laid their eggs in a pyramid shape. Since we put their winter light in, they are back to laying 4 to 6 eggs a day. Time for more crepes!
