This is Kevin and I at the end of a long day.  Megan thought it was wonderful, "You're twinners!" she shrieked and ran for the camera.  We look excited don't we?  Actually, we look like we think Megan should go to bed! 

We had another full week.  Savannah had driver's ed every morning at 5:45 and we had basketball games Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  Kevin, Sarah, and Megan almost won both and did win one.  They played really well.  Katy and Mariah almost won one and lost both, but Mariah played really well, too.  In fact, the game we almost won, the score was 9 to 10.  It was 9 to 8 until the last 5 seconds of the game when the other team won on a break-away layup (don't even talk to me about heartbreak . . . ).  Mariah made 8 of our 9 points.  Wow, right?  Talk about carrying our team, huh?  She is the light of my basketball life! 

Savannah's last day of driver's ed was Friday.  Yippeeee!!!!!  . . . and she passed.  Although, we knew she would.  She's even come around to starting to think of herself as a driver.  This is good progress!

Mariah had her first science fair on Friday.  She had the experiment and the poster done two weeks ago, as her anxiety demanded, so all that was left was to worry about the fair itself, which she did with gusto.  She found, however, that it was not so bad at all -- maybe even a little fun.

Friday for Megan was Job Shadow Day.  She got to go to work with her Dad.  Doesn't she make an adorable marriage and family therapist?  I'm sure if her dad had actually let her sit in on some sessions, she would have given great counsel, too!

Since Kevin couldn't have her come to work until the afternoon, she spent the morning shadowing a stay-at-home mom.  It was great to have another mom!  She reorganized the coatroom, cleaned the kitchen, and even helped with hair to send the other girls off to school.  She was a great help.

I think if Ben is going to go on to his great computer career, he may have to lose the bottle.  He does know how to play on the ipad, though.  Those are great baby toys!  This week he melted my cup on the stove and let himself out of the house in his pajamas at night in below zero weather.  He's so adorable, though!  He smiles so happily when we discover him!  He has no idea he's done something wrong or dangerous. I love that kid!  If I can just keep him alive . . .

Bethany continues to be a sweet, talkative little presence.  Just now the girls were in the kitchen talking about music.  Megan was protesting loudly how much she didn't like a particular song.  Bethany, who was not part of the conversation, but thought she was, of course, said, "Do you like this song, Megan?" and began to sing Twinkle Little Star.  How can you resist that, I ask you?

On Saturday, we finished off the week by attending another BYU Women's basketball game (except for Savannah, who had to work).  The cougars played a great game, we had great seats, and we didn't lose any of our little people this time.  What could be better?
