1. Soren made a Minecraft Alphabet book for the baby. Since he couldn't think up items in the game for all of the letters, he made up some of his own. Like "U is for urine". His pictures, which are all pixelated are really cool.
2. Kindergarten this week was AWESOME. I will probably write all about it in my monthly homeschool update but I just want to say right now that I was really happy with school this week. It was fun.
3. We played Robot Turtles for our FHE game on Monday night. This is a new game that we got last month and I really love it. It teaches kids about basic computation and is really fun. The goal is to navigate the turtles through a maze (which changes every time) to reach a jewel in the center. I got to be the "Robot Mover", which means that I pretty much played the role of the computer. The kids wrote "programs" for their turtles and I executed them. While making goofy robot noises.
4. The boys got invited to a birthday party at Jump Around Utah on Tuesday night. Even though my day was super busy, it was still worth it to tag on one more thing just to see their faces while they jumped. Even Sven had a wonderful time.
5. I wrote a scene in my book on Wednesday that made me really happy. Mostly, writing has been a rather draining endeavor. But on Wednesday, I wrote something that I was emotionally involved in and it was exhilarating!
6. Carl and Kylie have been best buds this week. They have been pretending to be Link and Zelda; it's really cute.
7. Friday was Pi Day! I made five pies and my neighbors brought over two more. We had a big pie picnic on the lawn. The highlight of the event for me was that Emiline came; she's a woman from our ward that I really admire. I invited her rather last minute and didn't think she would come but she did and seemed to have a good time. Yeah!
8. Also on Friday, Scott was raised to Master Mason. He is almost a dues-paying member of his lodge! I am really glad that he is finally doing the Free Mason thing and that it is every bit as awesome as he thought it would be. I love to hear his thoughts on the history and the philosophy of masonry and I love the way that going to lodge meetings lights him up inside. I love how it is strengthening our love of the gospel as well as providing opportunities for Scott to grow into the kind of man he wants to be.
9. Did I mention the pies? I made: 2 chicken pot pies, apple pie, berry pie, and key lime pie. Darcy made a huge (and beautiful) chocolate pie. Megan made a chess pie. The chocolate went the fastest. The chicken pot pie got the most raves. The apple was my favorite.
