2022 :: week 48

November 27

Sometimes we all sing a few primary songs together on Sunday night before everyone heads home. This week a bunch of the boys wanted to be the chorister. It was pretty cute.

The people Miles draws are looking more and more like actual people. Miles told me this was a good guy.

The kids requested some hot chocolate after school Tuesday. Elliott and Miles mostly like putting lots of extras into the hot chocolate--mini marshmallows, whipped cream, mints etc. I don't usually care for hot drinks, but it has gotten colder this week and the cocoa really hit the spot.

Liberally applying Vaseline to Elliott's lips has become a staple of our bedtime routine. Elliott has a lot of energy, and thankfully he is willing to play outside in the cold. Cole came over today and they played and had fun for quite awhile, inside and out.

When the weather swings I am susceptible to headaches. After Miles I picked Miles up from school I convinced him we should take a little nap. I didn't think it would work, but it did and it was wonderful! Miles rarely will snuggle with me like this and it was extra sweet to fall asleep to his light snoring. Thankfully I felt better after our nap because I hosted book club that evening. We read and discussed American Royals by Katharine McGee.

Friday evening Lauren had a girl scout activity at the Johnson County Museum. They were given clues that took them throughout the building to solve a mystery. She had a good time. Meanwhile I took Will Christmas shopping to Target and while we were there he decided to buy a pack of baseball cards for himself too. Elliott and Miles were excited to watch him open the pack.

Saturday morning started off with an indoor soccer game for Lauren. After her game we quickly headed to the noon showing of Elf at Union Station. Going to a classic Christmas movie at Union Station is one of our favorite holiday traditions and I left feeling excited for the month ahead.
