Benjamin and I had Joy School at our house this week.  We learned about the joy of interest and curiosity.  We got to make jello and play with balloons and learn that C is for curiosity (and cookie!)  He is spending a large portion of his day on the iPad so we are going to have to start limiting that.  I love his super-tight hugs.

Bethany had a little bit of a cold this week, so it was harder for her to get through school and her dance classes.  She was feeling better by the end of the week and had her friends Macie and Siena over Friday all the way until dinner time and on Saturday she had Auretta and Josie and Morgan here.  They had a great time.

Calianne and Cheyenne had two basketball games, craft club, piano lessons, and they started early-morning choir (just one day a week) this week!  I guess I should've expected the Friday morning "oh-no! My weekly homework assignment isn't done!" moment.  But, really, they are usually so good about doing their schoolwork without any prompting from me that I don't even think about it anymore.  I'm sure they'll be back on track next week.

Mariah had play rehearsals, basketball practices, piano lessons, young women, and three basketball games and I happen to know she still got all her homework done!  She went to a friend's birthday party Saturday night and they had a great time.

Megan babysat on Saturday and went to one of Mariah's basketball practices on Friday.  It is great to have her around to be in charge when I have to drive children to different places in the afternoons.  On Saturday, I had her practice driving to Provo and back where we bought her a nice dress for the dance next week!  Last Sunday, she used her time to draw this awesome picture:

Sarah worked three times this week and went to tennis twice which she loved.  She has a new child development class and needed to make a poster about herself as a little girl.  It turned out totally cute, but then she's always been adorable!

Savannah came home once during the week so I could help her file her taxes.   She wants her tax return!  Money is tight when you're a college student, as we all well know!
