1. I've been sick for the past few days. Not really bad just congested with a minor sore throat. I do feel achy though and am having a hard time sleeping. So much for my workout plans. I haven't done it since last Thursday. Friday was out since I stayed up way too late the night before. I don't exercise on Saturday or Sunday and now I'm sick. This is always what happens right before I have a 3 month hiatus. I need to encourage myself to start it up once I feel better.
2. Yesterday I got my hair darkened to it's natural dark brown color. I love it, although it does make my face look a bit paler. I don't really care so much about that, but enjoy the shine it has and how healthy it feels.
3. Satruday Adam spent hours trying to switch around light switches. It's a long story, but every light switch in our house has a dimmer or mood lighting. Unfortunately the switch you adjust for the stair lights is in the basement. It has always been very annoying to us so Adam decided to change them. It is something he has done many times before, but for some reason something was wrong. He couldn't figure it out and was forced to call one of his work friends to come help. Thank goodness for connections. The guy came yesterday and ended up spending an hour and a half fixing the problem. I never really understood what happened, but it turns out it wasn't anything Adam did. The pro had a hard time figuring it out.
4. Yesterday after dinner (i'm getting my hair done) Adam and the girls started to play hide and seek. The girls are never really good at staying in their hiding place so before he started he talked it over with them so they would in fact stay hidden. As he was counting his electrician friend (above problem) came to the door. He welcome him in and started telling him about the problem. He had completely forgot about playing hide and seek until he heard Tess call from the basement, "Are you coming yet?" He started laughing and looked at his friend and said, "I'm suppose to be playing hide and seek." It had been at least 15 minutes. I couldn't believe the girls would actually stay in their hiding spot. I was impressed. He said he couldn't find Bella and that she only came out because she had to go to the bathroom.
5. Bella drew this picture in Primary on Sunday. It just made me smile to see her view on the subject. She's not the strongest artist, but she loves to do it and that's all that counts. In fact we were filling out a form a few weeks ago and it asked what subjects Bella was strong in. When I asked her she said, "Art". I'm glad she is confident in her ability. (Sorry for the background noise. She drew another picture on the back and it came through when I scanned it.)
6. Yesterday Tess and Megan discovered a new game. They went from room to room jumping on the beds to see which one they liked best. I think it was mine, but Tess' was a close second. Apparently Bella's and Megan's are just too small for jumping, but good for sleeping.
7. My girls got some good mail over the weekend from annalisa. She sent an assortment of nail polish and chocolate kisses. I don't have a picture of it because Tess was so excited she took it to school as show and tell. So funny.
We also received mail from Melanie yesterday. A darling card and nail polish. It looks like I am set for playing manicure and pedicure with my girls. Thank you so much for thinking of us.

I love Bella's art piece. I love Joseph Smith struck down flat at the feet of the Heavenly visitors. That is such a keeper.
Bella is a good artist. I love kids art work it is so sweet to see what their thoughts are on paper.
I would love to see your hair. I bet it looks great. How funny about the hide go seek. I find myself half way playing and forget what I am doing all the time.
I love Bella's picture. It looks like she spent a lot of time on it, which many kids don't do.
I was in bed all weekend, not feeling great but not really feeling that bad either. Monday, feeling faint, I forced myself to go to the gym. Either I'd go back to bed for 3 more days or kick this lethargic feeling. It felt so nice to go even if while I was there I felt like I was going to be hating it. It's the hardest trying to get rid of feeling kind of sick. Sometimes I'd rather get really sick for one day and be done.
I'm glad Tess liked the fingernail polish enough to take to school. That cracks me up.
So sorry you've been sick. We've all had it too, let's hope it's the last round before Spring! And you are so right, it's way to easy to stop exercising after being sick and not doing it for a while. Feel better soon!
I realize this is risky to say, but so far I haven't gotten sick. I am sorry that you are, though.
I love your good mail and how thoughtful that your girls received some as well.
I love Bella's picture and her confidence. One of my greatest goals as a parent is to instill confidence without cockiness!
You are set for mani's and pedi's for the girls! Now if only summer would get here!
if using your blog as a journal these entries are the best kind! sorry you aren't feeling well. i haven't been feeling well at all either. and i totally hear you on the exercise woes. hopefully you'll feel better soon. love bella's art and that she loves it so much... that's the most important part. seems she has the creating bug too. and love that good mail!
I love the jumping on the bed picture! That's such a joyful face.
I also love Bella's picture. Little kid art is one of my favorite things.
I hope you feel better soon. There is so much going around right now.
I think that Bella is a very strong artist! Loved her picture.
I just darkened my hair a few weeks ago. In September I got highlights--the first time ever do anything to my hair besides a cut...and it was getting ridiculous with my three inch roots showing...so I bit the bullet. Would love to see your hair! PS I also feel paler.
I'm sorry you've been feeling sick, hopefully your sassy new hair will take the edge off the yuck-factor.
That cracks me up that Adam forgot he was playing hide-n-seek with the girls, that sounds like something I would do.
Bella's picture is very cute. I love kid art.
Score on the good mail, you guys are going to have to play beauty parlor together.
Oh my goodness, I love that jumping on the bed shot. I too love the Joseph Smith picture. So great, a definite keeper!
beautiful photo! hope you feel better.
I loved that hide and seek story! 15 minutes, you've got to be kidding!
I love the jumping shot, and the JS picture. Sweet! Oh - and dimmers, gotta love them. When we finally move, we are installing them pronto!
I love Bella's picture. Austin told me the other day that he was a "fine artist", I guess that is what his teacher told him. Oilvia thinks she is fantastic and she has seriously JUST started drawing stick figures. She usually just does "Os" all over the page since she knows that is what her name starts with.
I got my hair done on Tuesday too. It hadn't been done since before I came there... yuck. Don't you love how healthy it feels?
I love the story about hide and seek. My kids would never, ever obey me if I told them to stay in no matter what. They wouldn't last a minute.
