What the Wednesday!

So happy today

I don't know if it's the fact that Spring is here

or that so many fun things are happening this week

Or that my house is clean from top to bottom

But there is definite sunshine in my soul

We walked in the Salt Lake City

Saint Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday

with the Utah Food Allergy Network

Right in front of the haunted house folks

And the roller derby girls

It was very educational

I had this conversation with Cannon today:

(Cannon jumping on the couch)

Me: Cannon, please don't jump on the couch

Cannon:  Well, I'm not really jumping.  It's more like bouncy walking

Me:  Well, don't walk on the couch

Cannon:  Now I'm not walking, I'm falling

Me:  Please don't fall on the couch, in fact, your feet are not allowed on the couch anymore

Cannon:  Well, now you tell me!

Do you see what I have to deal with, people?

He's a crafty one

Jordan

Who is Jarom's little look-alike brother

That happens to live in our basement

Got his mission call last week

He's going to serve in the Albuquerque, New Mexico mission

I've known him since he was 9 

I get a little teary just thinking about it

But it's the perfect place for him to be

He's a good egg

Now how am I supposed to get through sacrament meeting

Without the human jungle gym that entertains my kids?

Woe is me

Also, we are hoping that Dawn-Noel,

Jarom's sister

Gets her mission call today

Cross your fingers!

My dad finished his dissertation

And is done with all the requirements

Of his doctorate program

PhD!

Doctor Daddio

That's what I'll write on his Father's Day card

I really hate tofu

Hazel really loves it

Hunger Games tomorrow!

Just in case you live under a rock and haven't heard...

What the Wednesday!

Got a new computer
Love it



It's a chocolate kind of day




Went to breakfast with my siblings
It was nice
I barely made it home before preschool
But my broccoli quiche was worth it




A week from tomorrow I'll be sitting in a theater
Watching The Hunger Games
Ahhh!  I can't wait




Hazel whispers in my ear
"you're my favorite"
At least twice a day
How did I get such a sweet little thing?




I need some recommendations for
Cute and comfy shoes for walking around
I've either got cute shoes or comfy shoes
None that fit both requirements




Daylight Savings
is wretched




In a dinner rut
Give me your top 3 go-to dinner ideas
Even if you know Hazel can't eat them
I can usually figure out a way to make something work for her
Except steak, that's just not going to happen

What the Wednesday!

On Monday, we flew our super cool Costco kites 

At this awesome new park in Saratoga Springs

It's seriously the coolest place

They must have just opened it because there were like

A million people there

They have a four story pyramid climbing thingy

This crazy teeter totter on an axis

A new-age merry-go-round

And other really awesome stuff

And all Hazel wanted to do was swing...

So I had this crazy rash thing on my face

For the last 9 months

It started out really small and gradually got worse

It was so frustrating because I tried everything

I finally went to the dermatologist

And found out it's a form of dermatitis

cause by using steroid cream on the face

I couldn't think of a time I had ever done that

Then I thought about Hazel's daily skin routine

I totally use steroid cream on her eczema every day

I can't believe I had such a horrible reaction to it

My face looks much better now

It's almost completely clear

Now I have a cough...ugh!

 Grocery shopping with both the kiddos

Has gotten so much better

Hazel stays in the cart

Cannon helps me pick out the groceries

We play I-spy

Then he helps me load the stuff onto the check-out counter

Who knew he just needed to funnel his energy

Into something so productive

I'm starting a chore chart this week 

What chores do your Kindergarteners do?

I've got:

Make bed, get dressed, clean room, organize shoes, brush teeth

Anything else?

HB211 failed in the committee hearing last week

Sad

 I had such a productive morning

And I've accomplished pretty much nothing since lunch

But I got to snuggle a little purple princess

So, that's something

 This video is long

But worth watching

I'm in

Jarom and I keep saying 

"Can we go to Boston yet?"

It's been a long week
