Clarissa’s birthday eve

Today we went to Qualtrics in the morning. Abe actually had five minutes to chat and play with the kids. He pretended Clarissa and Ammon were basketballs.

After we came home and ate lunch, I chatted with Clark for a long time on the phone. It was so fun to catch up.

Then I went outside with Ammon and my mom to chat while the cleaners cleaned the house. We spent the next few hours mostly outside enjoying the nice weather. When Clarissa woke up she joined us. Ammon uses the word, “probly” (probably” a lot these days. One of his favorite phrases is to eye a food and say, hopefully, “It’s probly yummy?”

Then Abe came home, packed the car, and whisked Ammon off to the Fathers and sons campout in American Fork Canyon. Abe planned the event, so I am sure it will be amazing.

Dinner at the campout. Ammon was very cranky during this part, but Tom and the bishop helped calm him down while Abe organized everything. 

Meanwhile, the rest of us ate a very understated dinner of cottage cheese, grapes, and, in my case, anchovies. Then I took the girls to Barnes and Noble to pick out some birthday gifts for Clarissa. It’s her birthday tomorrow!

Also, it thunder showered during the night, but Abe, Tom and Ammon stayed dry in the tent. That cheap Walmart tent turned out to be better than my REI one which totally leaks.
