Aaron and Oliver and I stayed up too late last night. Ollie was a little but fussy, trying to work some gas or something out, so he slept fitfully off and on between 8pm-midnight. Usually on those kind of nights One of us will stay up with him while the other goes to bed, and then we'll switch, so that we are both getting some sleep. But last night Aaron was working on the Flo-Foto website until 1am. So we were both up. Dumb.
Needless to say, we got a really late start on things this morning. I guess that's one (the only?) good thing about having church at 1pm...we had a long time to get ready for it. Oliver and I are still staying home from church to try and avoid germs. It's weird to feel perfectly able-bodied enough to go to church, but to still stay home. But it is nice to have three peaceful quiet hours to just sit and think.
We had big plans yesterday to get some yard work done. But it snowed and ruined everything. So I felt like yesterday was a wasted day. I was totally unmotivated. I had some errands I was going to run, but the snow has a way of sapping out my ambitiousness and making me want to curl up in a ball to stay warm.
Friday night we went to Melissa's final art show before she graduates. It was at BYU in the HFAC. I'll tell you what, it was pretty surreal to take a stroll on campus with four kids. I remember walking through those buildings as a freshman, and it doesn't seem like it was that long ago. But Friday I was walking through there with four kids and I felt so old yet not old at the same time. It was kind of a strange feeling. I remember looking at couples with only one or two small kids and thinking they were "old", but now I look at this year's freshman, and they're hardly more than babies themselves.
Anyways, enough of my little time-warp moment...Melissa's art show as really cool. Her project was the white walls with the designs stamped on it. It was called Knowing/not/Knowing. My kids had a great time looking up and down the stair cases in the HFAC, they thought it was cool that you could see up and down multiple levels. And we all enjoyed the chocolate cake from Costco that was served for refreshments.
To do Adelia's hair the way it is in the picture at the art show, I started with it wet, then parted it in two, and gave her piggy tails, which I then braided and looped up through the top elastic again. It was cute. It dried really well. Then we took it out before bedtime...
Can you say "Whoa, hair!" Haha. She's darling though, even with an afro.
You know who else is darling? Oliver. He doesn't like having his baths, but his little scrunchy unhappy face is so cute.
It's ok Ollie, Daddy will make it all better.
(Doesn't Aaron look tired? He is...he spends way too many nights and early mornings up working on the website when he should be sleeping.)
