Settling down??

After the excitement of January (car accidents, quilts, school play costumes, etc) i think my schedule this week has settled down. I was sick this weekend and spent a day home from church in bed. I seriously slept all day. While I did feel like crap, I can't help but feel a little relieved to have been able to stay home.

We saw Avatar on Friday. In like uber cool super de dooper 3D extravaganza. A very imaginative movie, predictable plot, and a go green subliminal message. Glad I saw it, but it won't make my all time favorites list any time soon.

So what's up for February?

Well I started Cross Country Skiing and am hopefully going to buy a set tomorrow. We have amazing trails here in Alaska, one set of which if right by Ethan's school. They are lit at night and very well groomed. It is so fun! I went 3 times last week and I am hooked. Second to swimming it is the exercise with the most calories burned in an hour. Seeing as how I don't put my face in the water, X country is a great choice for me.

I am working on a table runner in the quilt department. It is almost done, but it was supposed to be for Fall. At least that was when I started it, so I will just be early for next year.

Our Relief Society is having a service auction next week. I knitted a dish rag and am baking cupcakes for it.

Cupcakes are also being made for the Winter Fun Day bake sale at Ethan's school and the bake sale that co-exists with the school play.

School play up date: Everyone has their costumes. I organized the girls dressing room and shouldn't have too much to do until dress rehearsals in 2 weeks. Performances are Feb 18, 19, 26, and 27 with a matinee on the 27th as well as a PM performance.

So barring any more garage doors jumping in front of me, I should have a fairly easy month.

Except, I can't find my AmEx/Costco card...

Enjoy these pics of Ethan passing off his subtraction and Carter earning his Life rank in Boy Scouts.



PS my boys need haircuts...
