Up every hr...

Or at least it felt like it. S, for some reason, felt the need to wake up about every 1 1/2 hr to come in my room for me to tuck her in. I NEED to somehow get her to figure out to just go back to sleep on her own instead of getting mommy to. Last night was a lot of getting up. Then of course she decides to wake me about 30 min before the alarm goes off. So I have the decision, to go back to sleep for 30 min and be miserable, or stay awake and get an early start. I decided on an early start.

Yesterday was a nice day. The weather was very sunny. A bit chilly but at least the sun was out. We took dh to work since our homeschool group was having a park day. We get home, do our school stuff and then mid morning I realize I haven't showered yet lol. Guess I'd better get that out of the way. Then continued with the rest of our morning. Afte lunch I gathered the girls together and went to the park. I left R home since the park was only 5 min away. I felt safe enough that if he needed me for any reason, I was only min away.

Picked up dh later that evening and had dinner ready for all. I had visiting teaching to do so I left while they were eating. I let the kids know that since the weather was still nice, they had better go out and play and not bother daddy too much. Apparently they were good because dh was fine when I returned lol.

Today we're at home doing school work. N is slowly getting better at doing as I ask, but R is still having a hard time. He's having a rough time with math and figuring out some problems. It's a new math program and he loves it, just trying to figure out how some equations work. He's also been working on editing his Eagle scout report so he can send it to dh for editing again. Then send it to his scout master who can triple check. Then hopefully on to the Eagle Scout people. I think he's closer with his stuff than a lot of scout are. Apparently most scouts wait until their project is done before writing the report. R has been updating his report everytime something new happens. I think he has between 40 to 60 pages last I heard. Lots of reading.

I read my nephew's wife's blog yesterday and she mentioned the funeral services and how well they went. Apparently the place was packed which was nice. I only met the little boy once and that was at my dad's funeral last Jan. He was in a special wheel chair all hooked up to a few breathing monitors. But he looked happy. I guess when you grow up with things hooked to you, you don't know any better.

Tonight dh has his Elder' Quorum meeting so I suspect I'll be babysitting a few small children for a bit. I did it last week and the kids were good. Let's hope for the same tonight. Guess as with all children, when you're not with your parents, you behave better. Thank goodness. :)
