This morning the first thing ds R says is 2 days left. I don't remember if I have mentioned it or not, but this past week they've been just partying. No more lessons and such, just fun. They've had auctions on items that ward members have donated to them. Somehow the kids are able to earn "seminary money" during the yr and then the last week they auction off these items to the kids. So far R has brought home drinking glasses(straws shaped like glasses you can watch the drink circle your eyes while drinking, an ice cream stuff toy, a small stuffed purple elephant with sparkles, 1 envelope with 2 coupons worth ice cream, kite, a small bag/purse and I believe some candy. I might be missing something else. He's been so nice to bring stuff home for the girls. He told me now he's going to get stuff for himself. Even though he can be a pain in the butt, he's mostly a good kid just's just trying to figure out life. Heck, I'm still trying to figure out life lol.
Well these past few days I've been reading my nephews wife's blog on updates on their ds. Poor little guy has had so many things wrong since day one. One of Heavenly Father's special angels. Guess he felt my nephew and his wife were special people. I know that to be true. They have good family around them and support. Anyway, after lots of things happening recently, they decided it was time to let the little guy go back to his eternal home with Heavenly Father. We know he's not suffering anymore, but it's sure a loss to his parents and other family left behind. I just hope and pray that they will remain faithful in the church, and know that someday they will meet him beyong the veil and he will greet them with a huge hug. Unfortunately for us, we won't be able to attend the funeral. We've just had 2 big trips out west in the last 6 months, and know that in the next yr or so my mom will end her journey here as well. That's one funeral I will NEED to be at.
Today we stay at home and get school work done. This past week has been a bit busier than normal. Mon was normal stuff, nice weather so we were outside in the afternoon enjoying. Tues, R and S had dr appts so dh was home to go to those with us. I'm glad he did because he catches things that I don't. Both kids are above in their height and weight. Not a surprise on either. The dr was a bit surprised that S can read pretty well now, but then not really. His nurse was a bit surprised, but then each time we go there, we get a different one.
After the dr. visit, we headed off to do errands for a bit. Got supplies to fix N's bike tire and a few goodies. Then headed to lunch at our favorite buffet place. Afterwards checked out the local nursery for plants and such. Came home and dh fixed dd N's bike. Boy was she glad to ride her bikes again. Then after dinner that night we all headed to the church for meetings.
Yesterday, school in the morning, and park in the afternoon. It was a nice day and the weather cooperated very well. Our home teacher came last night. He's a very sweet guy and always has a pleasant word for us. He generally doesn't bring a lesson, but just visits. That's ok, it's nice to have him come. Apparently his companion was sick and so was unable to come. Guess we'll just have to have him come next time. Of course, his companion is a handyman so with stuff around our house that is literally falling apart, it might be sooner than later lol. Our front porch is literally falling apart so sometime in the next few weeks we'll be having him come and repair it.
Then this evening dh has a church meeting here at home. That means the school room is off limits to the kids for at least an hr or two. Good thing the weather is nice so they can go outside and play. Of course one of the men will be bringing his 3 children with him. Should be interesting to see how they behave with me.
I've decided that for next yr I want to change some of our school curriculum. Not sure how far I'll go, but I do know what we have in some stuff just isn't working. I'm just hesitant due to dh's job situation. Not so much laying off, but just work changes and such. Hard to explain, but better to be safe and hold off than be sorry and spend like crazy. Guess I'll research over the summer and see.
