Long time no write. And what a lot has happened to our family in these last few months since I last wrote!<br />
<br />
The story of Nate and I has been documented elsewhere, but the nutshell version is:<br />
<br />
* <i>The Accidental Meeting</i> *<br />
<br />
I had a subscription to a dating site ever since shortly after the divorce was finalized, but it was only rarely checked. One of those occasions occured in early December when I hopped on to read some of the messages I'd been sent. There was a "flirt" by a certain man from Salem. As routine, I looked at his profile just to appease the curiousity, but also as was routine, didn't intend to respond to the "flirt". Before moving on to the next message though, I noticed a special little "Happy Birthday" icon. Since it was the day before my birthday, I thought maybe this man had sent me this birthday wish, but I couldn't tell for sure what it was without opening it. So, I clicked on the image to see. It turns out the icon was MY invitation to send HIM a Happy Birthday and clicking it sent it. Whoops! Lol.<br />
<br />
Sure enough, the man responded, though he was also unused to the site and not sure if what he'd received was a birthday wish from me. Hah! Thus began some short comments and conversing. I was at that time still working out the "are we/aren't we exclusive" question with T, so I was putting forth absolutely minimal effort with individuals who were reaching out online, including Birthday Boy Nate.<br />
<br />
* <i>The First Date</i> *<br />
<br />
After I got home from Hannah's wedding and Christmas in Idaho Falls, Nate invited me to meet some time. I coyly responded to other remarks from his message without responding to that part. When he asked a second time, I decided "Oh fine, what's the harm of one little date? If there's no chemistry I never have to go out with him again." So I accepted a the invitation to go out for Hot Chocolate and selected a nearby coffee shop.<br />
<br />
First thing as I walked into the shop and met Nate I thought his profile pictures didn't do him justice. As we talked, I realized his profile self-description didn't do him justice either. We had a lot in common and conversed comfortably. At the end of the evening when Nate suggested going out again sometime, I found myself agreeing that that would be nice.<br />
<br />
* <i>Taking Our Time</i> *<br />
<br />
We went out again a few days later for dinner and a casual wander around the bookstore. We browsed architecture books and chatted.<br />
<br />
The next date was squeezing in a showing of "The Greatest Showman" though there wasn't really an opportunity to talk before or after that, as I went straight from work and then had to hurry home to relieve Brennan of his babysitting. The following weekend we met up at AC Gilbert house with our kids for a playdate and lunch. We all had a great time; it was fun to meet Ky and I was struck by Nate's ease with my children as he played tag with them. He did, however, wear a U of O sweater, so I wasn't so sure if it'd be a good idea to let anything continue. ;-)<br />
<br />
Shortly after that I went away to visit Jenny and John in Mesa, and in the mean time Nate closed on his new house. Of course. We texted every few days amiably, but not a whole lot.<br />
<br />
* <i>Taking Off</i> *Heather Winegardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04917219600035585592noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049461273290252398.post-16132987756289607882018-06-17T16:09:00.002-07:002018-06-17T16:09:25.652-07:00Next Book in the SeriesI started a post on here back in April about how Nate and I met. Several hours into it, I had to go do other things and never came back to finish. Who knows if I ever will.<br />
<br />
However, it also seemed appropriate to start a new blog. My little family unit has changed, so it felt right to start fresh with a new blog for book 3 in the series of my adult life. :-) Check it out any time... I probably won't post in this blog again.<br />
<br />
Caio!<br />

I accidentally made these kinda cute invites. I knew with last minute advertising for the activity, I'd have to step up my game a little. I decided to get these little forks to attach. Turns out they only came with the plates... and I didn't want to be wasteful! So, I put the plates to use.</div>

For this 4th grade invention convention, Asher's invented the kid-friendly allergy mask. Basically, masks, decorated in fun ways, for allergen-struggling kids to wear when the interact with pets.<br />

As usual, the Underwater Audio Christmas party was a huge success! Also as usual, my family somehow dominated winning all the prizes: from candy-in-a-jar counting, to ugly sweater contest (I didn't even try! Mine won most traditional), to the coloring contest... And there was a talent show we participated in, Brennan and I playing a horn duet and Asher played the piano. Plus the kids all receive gifts from the Walkers. In the end, including taking home gear from the meal I'd helped prepare, the back of my car was filled to the ceiling!<br />

We loved staying in Idaho to spend Christmas with the Stevensons! As a really special and generous treat, we were able to drive down to SLC to visit Temple Square and see the lights with Barry and Judi, plus Greg and Peter and their families. Miserably cold, but beautifully wonderful!<br />

Before heading back to Idaho, we visited the Church History Museum, which is the one center we hadn't caught last August. What a fun place! My kids were bummed when it was time to go and they hadn't gotten to see some of spots they most liked last time, like the Christus and the Family History Museum. I guess we'll have to go back! The kids really love Temple Square. It's like better than OMSI!<br />

In true Asher form, he situated himself among the ladies. The best part, though was when he told us all how he loves to sit by old ladies because he loves the way they smell. "The older they get, the better they smell!" hahahaha. This kid!<br />

So this was kind of funny. I was grocery shopping with Kieran, standing in front of the condiments. Since I'd recently learned Hollyn likes mustard, and she's the only one in the household who does, I said to Kieran, "Should we get Hollyn some mustard?" His response? "Can I have my own Ketchup??? Pleeeeease Mom? Please, can I have my own ketchup?" For 98 cents I figured, why not. I selected a Ketchup and handed it to him. He cradled that bottle the entire rest of the shopping trip. He talked about it non-stop, thanking me repeatedly. As soon as Hollyn got home he rushed to show her the his & her condiments. Obviously, the decent thing to do was pull out the label maker to add their names. It was seriously the best gift ever for both of them. 😜<br />

I actually snapped these before a Halloween party a couple weeks before Halloween, and nothing on the day of (except one of Brennan). Sadly Hollyn's costume was better day of, but oh well.<br />

This year was the first time since Brennan started school that Halloween was a on a school day. Our district holds conferences the last Wed-Fri of October, so Halloween tends to fall on those days or a weekend. I think once they even put conferences in the beginning of the week. Not this year though. Wouldn't have been so bad except the schools don't allow costumes, and then the downtown trick-or-treating was held primarily during school time (whereas other places moved theirs to Saturday). By the time Brennan got home at almost 4:30, and costumed up, we made it downtown in time for some free ice cream at Dairy Queen, and then headed back home. After a quick dinner, Brian came over for the kids. He took them first to the church's trunk-or-treat, where I also went to pass out candy. Then he took them back around the neighborhoods and I went to community band. I didn't even decorate the porch this year - it was a kind of off year Halloween-wise. And even though I love the holiday, it was kind of nice to be more lazy about it.</div>

I got home from Time Out For Women last night, where I had a great time with Angie! I always take notes, or photos of the quotes shown on the screens. But as is perhaps with case with you, I rarely if ever see those notes again. One year I purchases the DVD of the conference and even rewatched a couple of the presentations once. But really, I go, I feel uplifted and inspired, and then I promptly forget it all.<br />
<br />
This year I'm spending my afternoon writing my notes into my LDS Gospel Library, including tagging with the sub-topics so I'll be able to find these thoughts/promptings/stories/etc. any time I look under certain topics, linked to scriptures and other talks I've also tagged before. Another great advantage is that I still remember the background stories and context the speaker was talking about when I took my brief note. I'm including that as well which will help my notes actually make sense if I read them in the future.<br />
<br />
I'm down to ONE more speaker (Anthony Sweat), but it was the one where I wrote down the most. *shrug*<br />

One night I fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up to relocate to bed I saw this sweet note on the floor - in a very clean room. It said, "Another quick tidy done by: the Living Room Fairy". I bet you wish the Living Room Fairy visited your house while you slept too!<br />

In July the cub scouts + families went crawdad fishing and ended with a "Bake". I'd never done it before (and still didn't really. I just hung out with Hollyn and Kieran playing in the water). Brennan and Asher are champion fishers now though.</div>

I was proud of Hollyn and Kieran for getting up the nerve to actually pick the little critters up. But then they got TOO much nerve and wouldn't leave them alone.<br />

Not only did I not want to catch or hold them, I never did have the guts to eat one. I could look at their ugly faces and creepy legs and rip them apart. Brennan and Asher tell me that they taste a little like crab, but not nearly as good.<br />

On the 4th of July the 1st and 2nd wards held a family fun run. Brennan really wanted to participate but he opted to be one of, like, 2 scouts that actually showed up to help set up the pancake breakfast. I know that was a bit of a disappointing choice for him, but bless his heart he really tries to make the most selfless choices when situations like this arise.<br />
<br />
Kieran on the other hand was not so excite to participate. He was pretty grouchy that day but things went down hill(er) really fast when we started. Kieran was furious that Hollyn was being faster than him and running ahead. He kept refusing to go, having one giant meltdown the entire time. He cried about being too tired, about not being able to go fast, etc. Sometimes this kid is such a pill!<br />

The first weekend in July we went to the ward campout. Good thing too, it turned out to be the only camping we did all summer. Man those summer weekends sure fly by disappointingly fast. :-( We had such a fun time though. Brennan and Asher were super into the canoes. Kieran was excited to join them in one, plopped down inside and immediately remembered he HATES boats with a phobic fear. He immediately demanded to be gotten out and spent the rest of the evening sitting in a shored boat. Every so often some well-meaning individual would offer to give him a ride, assuming that's what he was waiting for, but he would flatly refuse.<br />

We had lots of fun hanging out at the pool several times a week. Swimming lessons followed by sticking around for rec swim. This year Hollyn felt comfortable bobbing around in a life vest in any depth, the big boys can swim, and Kieran was too chicken to go beyond the shallow section. For the first time I could chill at the side of the pool and just watch instead of standing guard next to someone. It was aaaaaawesome!<br />

Our RS activity in June was to deliver a meal to a local family homeless-shelter. Only myself and one other committee member could make it to deliver the food, so we put it together and started loading her car up with large trays of Spagetthi. Unforunately, there was a mishap in the doorway. :-( Christa hurried off to deliver what was left and I stayed at the church, alone, to clean wet spagetthi and sauce out of the carpet. With limited cleaning supplies. That was, uh, super fun.<br />

Might not be entirely appropriate to sneak a photo in the chapel, but I didn't want to ever forget this sweet moment with Hollyn's arm around her little brother. And it's a good thing I did take this picture because I HAD already forgotten. ;-)<br />

Kieran, I love you, Buddy. You are clever and animated and passionate. You learn songs/music impressively quickly; you keep up with those big siblings of yours; you are an angel child for your teachers and leaders. We're all super thankful you're part of our family!<br />

I was lucky to get a seat at all for Asher's concert (this happened at Brennan's Spring Band Concert too. It's kind of annoying to not have enough accommodations for the audience at these events). But being in the very back row in a dark auditorium does not make for stellar photos. They sounded great though!</div>

I couldn't get a good shot capturing all the lawns with all the flags, but it seemed to go on before us for a long, long way. Asher told me he was overwhelmed by the sheer number of flags, of those who have served our country.<br />
<br />
On Memorial Day we visited the nearby Oak Lawn Memorial Park. We brought a bag of smooth rocks and pens and wrote Thank You on each rock. The kids would place a Thank You rock on a flagged grave marker until we ran out. Which Brennan immediately noted we wouldn't have nearly enough rocks for everyone. They enjoyed that activity, including reading the names and noting which war the individual had fought in.<br />

Last Saturday we headed for the coast to visit the old-fashioned (and movie-appearing) ships. First, I didn't know where in Newport to find them. If someone had just told me Bayfront, it would have been easy peasy. Brennan and I were looking everywhere online and NO ONE tells you where the boats actually are, other than "Newport". It was kind of ridiculous. Then, we couldn't find parking. We FINALLY did and walked down the dock to find one of them wasn't there, and the one that was had just closed for walk-on tours. No one was there giving info, nuthin'. We got a picture and headed over to the sea lions which were ultimately much more interesting.<br />
<br />
Then we headed for the beach and again spent forever waiting for parking. I think I'm done with Nye Beach. It's not THAT great.<br />
<br />
But we had a good time!<br />

See all those people on board? That's while we were parking-spot hunting. :-/<br />
<br />
During a recent FHE, we went outside to play kick-the-can (it represented Pahoran and the KingMen, and Moroni vs the Lamanites. Pretty epic). Hollyn's eye started bothering her, so I have her a minimum dose of benadryl, and sent her to the shower which I assured her would help.<br />

10 minutes later she emerged like this:<br />

She was given MORE benadryl AND eyedrops. I hoped she'd sleep it off, but her eyes were still swollen pretty bad the next morning. Enough that I kept her home from school even. She wasn't uncomfortable, but I couldn't get myself to send her looking like an alien. I have my pride.<br />

My friend Angeli took me to The Cherry Poppin' Daddies event here in Corvallis. They sang so many fun oldies like "Beyond the Sea" and Lindy-hop favorites from the 20s and 30s and such. Of course Zoot Suit Riot came up. :-) We had so much fun!<br />

It was a long 6 weeks, but track finally ended. Here's Brennan running his last 100m race of the year. He's hoping to do Cross Country in the fall... We'll see if I'm up for it. Track was a GREAT experience for him though. He isn't so competitive that he cared about getting first. (He might have cared if he'd come in last consistently - he was satisfied with being in the middle). But the experience of being part of a team, not to mention the benefits of exercise, was really positive for him.<br />

I'll have to find the videos separately. (Vids are a lot of work to format for posting). Hollyn has no fear about dancing away in front of a crowd. Neither does Kieran.<br />

On the evening of Memorial Day, Thane accompanied the kids and I to a patriotic Community Band concert (The Albany one, not "mine") in La Sells Stuart Center. Kieran was just 3-year-old wild, but Hollyn was wildly enthusiastic about the music. She used a small flag to "conduct", she danced in her chair, she ended up dancing in the aisle. Several people who'd sat behind us came up to me during intermission or at the end telling me how much they got a kick out of watching my daughter enjoying the music.<br />

I think I had more to write, but now I can't remember, so I'm posting as-is.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yesterday Kieran announced in sacrament meeting, "I need to poop!" Yeah, he's <i>that</i> kid. So I took him out to the bathroom. While inside the restroom I could make out over the speaker that Brennan had gone up and born his testimony. He does that often so I was only a little sorry to be missing it.<br />
<br />
As I walked back into the chapel with Kieran though, I saw Asher going up to the microphone. He bore a short but very sweet testimony himself - for the first time! As we all sat back down together Asher turned to me and told me, "Wow, it feels really good after you bear your testimony!" Awww. Brennan and Asher then proceeded to give each other 2 hugs and Brennan explained, "I told Asher if he bore his testimony I would give him 2 hugs." But Asher quickly added, "The real reason I did it though was for God." What a sweet kid!<br />
<br />
Brennan later mentioned fighting his inner struggle: he really felt pulled to go up and bear his testimony, but he also doesn't really want to, so he demonstrated how he holds on to the bench going "no, no, no" as if he's literally being pulled up and hanging on to the bench for dear life in resistance. He also tells me that he remembers my words about how the less often I bear my testimony in sacrament meeting, the harder it is for me to do it. He really wants to train himself to overcome his fear, so when he feels prompted to go up, he lets go of his fears and resistance. He is seriously the coolest!<br />
<br />

<br />
Happy birthday to Brennan! To celebrate, we decided to try out this indoor trampoline place in Salem. Although last night wasn't looking good for Kieran, he woke up this morning chipper and energetic and with an appetite. So, we went ahead as planned.<br />
<br />
The place was pretty fun. Maybe not full-price fun, but going on a Thursday mid day when it was cheaper and not crowded was a great move. The kids bounced and played and bounced some more. Near the end of our time there I got a call. A police officer was informing me that he'd come by my house. Uh, yeah.<br />
<br />
Remember on Tuesday when I went to work for TWO hours because Asher was home sick, and I'd had the camera on him so I was watching and talking to him? Well during my "absence" the school had called and Asher answered and informed them that I was at work. I almost called the school to clarify the situation but decided it wasn't really any of their business anyway. I did not forsee that the police would receive a tip about Asher being home alone "under age".<br />
<br />
Yes, this is EXACTLY what I needed this week. The officer I think had very few details, in fact it seemed like he was under the impression Asher might be home alone right then, so he was just checking to make sure all was well I guess. When no one was home, my manager approached him to see if she could help with anything. He'd asked if she'd seen Asher that day and she said she'd seen Brennan and Hollyn, but not Asher. Curious neighborhood kids playing outside all chimed in that nobody had seen Asher for several days. Lol. Yes, he died in the two hours he was home alone and I buried the evidence. Oh man. Actually, some parents heard that an officer was there looking for Asher and they grew worried about him as a missing child. My manager had to put that rumor down quickly.<br />
<br />
The officer also walked over and talked to my sitter, who actually had Kieran that day, so she knew I was not gone terribly long, and I'd even told her at the time about having Asher at home but with my camera on. I don't know is that's a detail she remembered or shared.<br />
<br />
The difficult part is that I couldn't hear the officer with the noise of the trampoline place, but because I'm out of data, the call dropped when I stepped outside, out of the WiFi. So explaining things was not easy. He did mention a few times that he was not concerned about anything and just wanted to let me know about his visit. (Most of my info about his investigation was gotten from my manager). He said something about being OK with a 13 and 9 year old being home alone and I didn't correct him because our connection was so spotty, it would have basically been impossible. And the whole thing is so ridiculous.<br />
<br />
After that fun call, we rushed home, changed into swimwear, and headed to swimming lessons. Because Brennan didn't have track on this non school day, he came along and swam laps. I admit, it was kind of cool to see him do that. He took a LOT of breaks, but there is something so grown up about a person swimming laps on their own, don't you think? He shared the lane with this older gentlemen, so he got the scoop on lane-sharing protocol, and they chatted a few times. I think he was getting some good advice.<br />
<br />
From swimming, we swung by the store so I could make his requested dinner and get a cake. As I hurried to get the food ready on this already tiring day, I remembered that I'd intended to go to Brennan's school conferences straight from swimming because they literally share a parking lot! Now I had to drive all the way back over there to get to those. Sigh. In the middle school, all the teachers have stations in the cafeteria and you hit all the teachers you want in any order. It's MOSTLY waiting in long lines for every. single. teacher. though. Such a delight.<br />
<br />
Headed back home for dessert and presents, then sent people to bed and took a bath.<br />
<br />
Yep.<br />
<br />
And then the real fun began.<br />
<br />
After my bath, I fell asleep on the couch while Brennan read our chapter book we're reading together. Later, I went up to bed, but within 10 minutes, I heard Brennan throwing up. Poor kid. I went to check on him, and it turns out he'd gotten vomit ALL over the bathroom. I know he wouldn't have on purpose so I tried to keep my irritation under control - this particular stomach bug seems to manifest in especially abrupt spells. So far all 3 who have gotten sick have been caught completely off guard and had a major mess result. So, at 1am I was cleaning the bathroom, and running laundry and all that. Brennan has continued to get up/use his bowl/cry out every 20 minutes or so.<br />
<br />
Except the person who got up half an hour ago was Kieran throwing up again. I'm going to deal with his bed tomorrow. (Well, later today rather). Looks like I won't be going in to work.<br />
<br />
Also... I won't go into the story on this blog, but I've had a very interesting surprise in my personal life tonight. Because obviously my life has been too boring lately. It needed a good shake up.Heather Winegardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04917219600035585592noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049461273290252398.post-1274098237161483122017-04-12T22:05:00.001-07:002017-04-12T22:05:54.069-07:00A day (or two) in the life of a single parentOn Monday I asked Jenny about visiting her, saying, "I need a vacation!"<br />

Monday evening Asher suddenly threw up before having a chance to leave his bed. Yes, he's 9 and I STILL had a clean-vomit-out-of-his-bed experience. And it was super nasty.<br />

Tuesday morning he still didn't feel well. Kieran's babysitter had also emailed me to let me know that her little guy had thrown up the night before, but she didn't think he was contagious. I had two good excuses to stay home from work though, but really needed the hours. So I risked it with Kieran at the sitter and left Asher at home (using the home cam to keep my eye on him) and put in just a couple of hours at work. None of this was particularly difficult, just out of the routine.<br />
<br />
The crazy started later.<br />
<br />
Because I'd had to miss Brennan's first ever track meet last week, I'd committed to attend his next one, which was here in Corvallis. Unfortunately, I forgot that AGAIN the other 3 would have swimming lessons smack in the middle of the meet. It doesn't seem fair to have 3 kids miss their activity for the other 1's activity, right? So, both it was!<br />
<br />
Asher hadn't seemed too sick during the day, so it was saying something when he said he didn't feel up to attending swimming lessons. I got Hollyn and Kieran dressed in their swimwear, then we dropped Asher off at Grandma's and headed over to Cheldelin. After finding parking about 8 miles away, we began the looooong trek in the pouring rain over to the fields. Did I emphasize the pouring rain? It was miserable. Hollyn and Kieran just can. not. walk at a decent speed. It's so frustrating, but especially when we're in a hurry. We were looking for Brennan to say hi and deliver him a snack, and our time was very limited. Luckily, we found him. Unluckily, he was on the opposite side of the fields, which were quite muddy, and again, the rain! Even more unluckily, Kieran decided to have asthma issues right when we'd learned Brennan was on the other side of the track. Besides the wheezing, his main symptom when this happens is a horrendous crying tantrum, demanding his inhaler, refusing to walk, and behaving like the entire world is ending. It was embarrassing, but with the nearest inhaler back at the car, it made more sense to finish our quest first. At least, it made more sense to me.<br />
<br />
With MUCH effort, I got Kieran and Hollyn across the field, we said hi to Brennan, handed him the snack, and turned around and headed back to the car. Hollyn's shoe only got stuck in the deep mud once. :-) Kieran cried the entire way. It continued to pour. But we had no choice but to make our way back to the car.<br />
<br />
Kieran got his inhaler, we did swimming lessons, and then headed BACK to the track meet. Thankfully, though we'd missed the long jump, we made it and found Brennan in time to watch him do his 100m race. Kieran DID fall in the mud though, caking his behind and front knees in thick brown goodness. All of our shoes were beyond hope by this point. Lol.<br />
<br />
After Brennan's race even he wanted to head straight home. He had only his shorts and t-shirt on him, which were soaking wet and it was pretty cold. We picked up Asher from Grandmas on our way and got home with half an hour to spare before the next event for the evening.<br />
<br />
I quickly made some dinner. As I went to place the food in the oven, I saw to my horror that the oven was sparking inside, in 2 different places! I turned the oven off, hoped that would be sufficient, and ran next door to report it to my manager and beg to use her oven for my prepared food. She wasn't home. Going back inside my house, I saw that my element was STILL sparking, and white hot, and was creeping down the line. At that point I pulled out the fire extinguisher. Here's a weird thing: I couldn't pull the pin on the extinguisher because it was zip-tied in place. I had to grab my scissors and cut it off first, so I could pull the pin and use the device. Doesn't that seem a little counter productive on an emergency tool?<br />
<br />
Anyway, I did that (then had to run outside to breathe and spit out the nasty taste). Michelle let me use her oven to finish dinner. By then, it was time to head to the RS activity, which I really wanted to attend because I'm on the planning committee and annoyed by the poor attendance we've had over the last year. I REALLY don't want to be part of the problem.<br />
<br />
Anyway, by the time I got home after 9pm I was exhausted. Good thing I still had a kitchen to clean up before maintenance came today. :-P<br />
<br />
This morning I had an interesting day at work. There could potentially be some big changes there for me, depending on what I decide to do. So the day started off different. After that I had parent-teacher conferences at the elementary school. Kieran had been napping at Grandma's so I went back to pick him up when the conferences ended about 4:30. Mom was getting him up when I arrived and undressing him because he'd thrown up pretty good in her bed. He got a quick shower while the other 2 waited in the car. After not too long though, we headed home. Sadly, as I was turning onto our street, Kieran started throwing up again in his hands. You can imagine how swiftly I jumped out the car after parking. (Later when I was looking for my keys, I found them still in the ignition, hahaha).<br />
<br />
So he got ANOTHER shower. I retrieved Brennan's birthday gift from the mailbox and hid it, then helped Kieran redress as Brennan arrived home from track practice. By this time, it was time to head out to Pack meeting. Brennan agreed to watch Kieran and I did carpool to the 6pm activities. I left early enough to get home for Brennan to be picked up for his 7pm Scouts, which was to be a farewell pizza party in his honor. Kieran threw up in the middle of the living room, and then like every 3 minutes because I gave him juice-then-water, which he couldn't keep down longer than that. Eventually I cut him off from all beverages, which made him quite unhappy because he claims he's hungry and thirsty, but dash-it-all, NOTHING will stay down!<br />
<br />
I hoped to wrap Brennan's gifts earlier, but I guess I'm staying up late to do that.<br />
<br />
The good news is, we have busy plans for tomorrow (probably will have to postpone indefinitely if Kieran's still sick), so I'd already arranged for work off tomorrow. Also good news, I got a new oven element today which could have been tricky to be without an oven over Easter weekend.<br />
<br />
Now I just need to get through the next 4 days: more conferences, dr appointment, swimming lessons, ward social, camas commons party, egg hunts... I'm excited that some time between 8am and 5pm on Friday OR Saturday (because why limit the window?) the dryer vent cleaner is coming, so I'll hopefully get my dryer rehooked up and bathroom put back together before my inlaws come, haha. Then I'd better get my Easter and Ordination plans in order for Sunday. Maybe even die some eggs, oh sheesh.<br />
<br />
Even without the twists and turns I knew this week would be crazy busy. It's hard not to be a little wistful about how much harder it is to do things when you're a single parent. And yes, I know I can drop out of the unnecessaries this week. I wish I didn't have to. It's the FUN stuff that has to be sacrificed, but it's the fun stuff that gives me the motivation to keep going, that makes me feel like I'm not a complete failure because my kids will still have a normal, happy childhood and not miss out on things as a result of the choices of their parent(s).<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's my last 2 days.

Last Sunday was sunny so we hopped on our bikes again and made a pit-stop at the park. Hollyn was into the climbing wall a bit and approached me with pride for having climbed kind of high, on the straighter side. She said, "But I didn't go to the top, I can't do that." In my mind I was thinking about her small size and the tricky curve of the wall and ALMOST said, "Yeah, that's probably too hard for you." or something validating like that. Instead, what came out of my mouth was, "Really? Why not?" She thought for a second. I saw the little light-bulb above her head light up. She ran back to the wall and seconds later, was conquering the top!<br />

The kids built "Grand Central Fort" in the living room I got the tour inside were they each had roomy bedrooms. Every year coincidentally just before St. Patrick's Day I clean out under the couch cushions. The rest of the year I pretend there isn't a problem there, and the cushions must stay in place to hide it. ;-) But when those leprechauns come through and move the cushions, it ignites fort ideas with the kids. So basically, I had nowhere to set for several days after the holiday.<br />

This one gets sleepy on the plane.<br />
<br />
Kieran is not my favorite airplane buddy. He wasn't bad really, no tantrums or anything, but he does not stop wiggling, unbuckling, talking (too loudly), or listen to me. Same problem at church and anywhere we go, really. There are no rewards or threats that will get this kid just sit still and/or stop making noise and/or do as he's asked. Sigh.<br />
<br />
Before heading home we stopped at Ikea which made for a nice place to eat lunch, it turns out. Did you know Ikea does kids meals BOGO free on Tuesdays? Talk about an unexpected but welcome surprise. :-)<br />
<br />
I learned something about Asher there. He loves lettuce. Not salad with dressing, just regular old lettuce. As in, he ASKED Hollyn for the lettuce came on her plate with her meal. Weirdo.<br />

We got in to Lego Land during the least expensive Toddler Time, and at that price I'd say it was worth it. It's a LOT of fun, but not full price fun I'd say. Also it's recommended for ages up to 10 but anyone who still enjoys Legos will enjoy Lego Land.Heather Winegardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04917219600035585592noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049461273290252398.post-50395308212083615002017-03-05T17:56:00.003-08:002017-03-05T17:56:25.318-08:00Arizona Trip Day 4<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Actually, by the time we got back to the Beckstead's house on Thursday evening, I was beginning to feel dizzy, sore throated, and feverish. Friday (and basically the rest of the trip) I was fighting horrible sinus, cold, and fever issues. Talk about a bummer.<br />

The cousins had a blast creating a Lego "Civilization-type" game on the pool table. From what I understand, they built their own bases and attacked each other and there were rules and procedures as all games have. Totally kept these wild monkeys from driving us grownups too crazy. ;-)<br />

Thursday morning we reached the Grand Canyon National Park. We pulled into the parking lot and BAM, right there was this "Javelina/<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans";">Collared Peccary". (We thought it was a warthog at first.) Brennan jumped out the car and careful took some photos. To my knowledge, no one else around even noticed it, they were so focused on looking at where to park.</span></div>

It was a pretty cool place though.

We arrived on a Tuesday and the next day kept outselves out of the Beckstead's hair by heading out towards the Grand Canyon. I had learned before the trip that the Grand Canyon in cold - even snowy - in the winter. I hadn't previously known that. The swiftness of the temperature change was astounding though. As we left Mesa that day the kids complained about the heat. In the car, I could see the kids with pink, sweaty faces and had to run the a/c. About an hour later, there was snow on the ground. By the time we got to our hotel 2 hours outside Mesa, it was a LOT of snow and quite freezing. That night it reached, I think it was, 12 degrees. Wowsers!</div>

For cost and other purposes I decided to stay in Williams, AZ which is about an hour away from the park. We rolled into town in the evening and nobody was really all that hungry, so we went out for some malts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't know it before, but it turns out that Williams is the last stop on the old route 66 and very much plays that up. As we drove through the town that Wednesday evening I felt like I was visiting Radiator Springs in it's heyday. :-) SO fun. </div>

As usual, I always try to select hotels with indoor pools. The hot tubs are the greatest appeal though.<br />

We left after school on Monday Jan 30th and drove up to Portland to sleep in a hotel. After some fun in the pool, we retired to the room and lights were out with at least 3 kids asleep by 8:30. Whew, we were already worn out.<br />

The flight out was pretty uneventful (whew!). In fact, Hollyn konked out immediately and slept the entire flight until we landed. In her defense, she was still fighting the bug in the middle of making its way through the family though. Kieran was decent, for a toddler.</div>

Asher's first Elementary Strings concert was super fun. He was getting over being sick and still looked a little like death itself (and had trouble with the bright lights being in his eyes, so he kept hiding his face behind his cello). I'm excited for more concerts to come!<br />

I sleepily told Brennan and Asher it was their time for bed as well and then proceeded to fully fall asleep.<br />
<br />
At some wee hour of the morning I got up to relocate to my bed and as I arose I looked at the living room and thought to myself that I hadn't realized Brennan had done such a good job when I'd asked him to tidy the room earlier.<br />
<br />
Hours later when I got up for reals and was getting littles ready for the day I noticed a slip of paper on the floor of the living room in Brennan's writing that said RBRBRF. I laughed at our current joke. See, recently when Brennan was helping me clean the living room when it was only slightly messy we'd come up with this acronym to describe the phenomenon of our living room's messyness level which, like a wildfire, gets "Really Big Really Bad Really Fast". We like to recite it as fast as possible and I'd said it when I'd asked him to clean the room the night before. His note in the clean room was amusing.<br />
<br />
Well it gets better. It turns out that the reason I hadn't noticed how well he'd cleaned the room before my "nap" was because he hadn't. Instead of dealing with RBRBRF, he'd helped Asher with his homework, which was to play a game I think, and I was too distracted getting the little ones to bed to notice or remember. What he HAD done is sneak downstairs while I was asleep and quietly clean the room then. Ha! My little cobblers elf!<br />
<br />
But, it gets EVEN better. Tonight I was like, "Hey Brennan, remember that one time (it was 2 nights ago , lol) I fell asleep on the couch and you cleaned the room right next to me and I didn't even notice?" As we laughed at my obliviousness, Brennan casually shared that when he'd seen one of my shoes on the floor, having fallen off my foot, he'd come up and very carefully removed the other one FROM MY FOOT and put them away.<br />
<br />
We laughed so hard. He is so funny/considerate/cool. And I apparently was VERY tired.Heather Winegardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04917219600035585592noreply@blogger.com0
