Saturday--part 1

Saturday was a very busy day for me.  I got up "early" (about 7:15) & showered.  After I ate breakfast & warmed up the van, I put some more air in the back tire of the van (it has a slow leak that needs fixed sometime soon).  Then I drove to Terreton (about 40 miles away) to the LDS stake center for the World Wide Training broadcast.  It was a follow-up from the 1st one in November & it was awesome!  Gave me more insight on the new church handbook & inspired me to act more on my "feelings" & promptings from the Holy Ghost.

I got home from the broadcast a little before noon, fed everyone lunch & mixed up the sugar cookie dough.  It has to chill in the fridge for a few hours.  Then I picked up my Bountiful Basket (it was a nice one with 2# strawberries, lemons, apples, bananas, oranges, cantaloupe, spinach, broccoli, leaf lettuce, red peppers, mushrooms, & carrots--and maybe some more that I can't remember?).

Then Rusty suggested we go to the land so the kids could sled.  It was a nice, sunny day--& the temperature was close to freezing!!!  (funny when 32 is warm!)

But I was so tired--Friday was our temple assignment day & I had a headache most of  Friday (even with medicine).  I know some of it was from lack of sleep.  But the kids wanted to go, so I helped them get their snow clothes on, and was getting ready to get mine on when Rusty said if I wanted to stay home & take a nap, he would take them out by himself.  Brienna was in Terreton for choir practice, so she wasn't here to help with the kids while they were sledding.  But, I decided to jump at the chance & stay home.  After I finished a load of laundry, I went in my room to lie down.  About 15 minutes later, Brienna came home & so I asked if she wanted to go sledding (because I could drive her out if she wanted to), but she said she didn't. So I laid down again, and this time I fell asleep.  And I got a nice 2 1/2 to 3 hour nap!

And this is what the kids did while I slept:

 I love Ben's face in this one!!

 Rusty said that Ben & Emmalee had a blast just sliding on their bottoms!

They stayed for over an hour, came home wet & tired out (& hungry), and littered the floor with their wet clothes.

After I got up from my nap, we made the sugar cookies.  that post will have to wait until tomorrow, though.
