Utah truly is a beautiful place. The picture I took on the way home from Hooper of the sunset doesn't even do it justice. (Don't worry, Aaron was driving.) I will always love the mountains.
Since I was gone all weekend, I decided the kids and I needed a fun activity to do together. That morning we'd collected one more egg than would fit in our carton in the fridge, therefore I was determined to bake something that took a few eggs. So when Lincoln got home from Harmony on Monday we made sugar cookies to have for Family Home Evening treat. It took five eggs. Score. The kids were excited to help, and had fun picking out all the different shapes of cookies cutters they wanted to use. Ivan even rolled his dough into balls and made caterpillar cookies. Ollie mostly just ate the raw dough.
On Tuesday morning Adelia's preschool class took a field trip to the library, so the boys and I went along too. We went to story time, and then got a fun tour from one of the librarians, who actually pointed out some things (particularly the art work) that I've never noticed about our library, even though we go there all the time. Then, of course, the tour ended with a peek inside the room that holds the books sorter. That's always a hit.
In the evening Aaron and I had to tag team, he took Ivan and Adelia to their soccer game, and I took Lincoln to his soccer practice. I was grateful for the opportunity to sit in my camp chair in the shade, and gaze out at the mountains that I love. Aaron had Ollie as well, so it was just a peaceful, thoughtful hour for me. I have to take those moments when I can get them.
