I was up late last night working while Lily took care of the kids (including a play-date with Amy’s kids).
When I woke up, I was going to walk Basil, but it was raining, so I got right to the meat of what I was planning for today: blogging.
Lily and I tried to blog a few days ago, but her laptop mouse was not working again (couldn’t even use a bluetooth mouse) so we finally ordered her a new mac. It arrived yesterday, so today she was my blogging buddy!
It was both exhausting and fun to charge through France blog post after blog post next to my sweetie. We talked about life plans and other things while we blogged together. Lily also wrote a blog post she was asked to write for TSOS. It was great! We didn’t finish until almost 6:00PM. The kids did some cleaning and music, but they also watched a lot of screens while Lily and I were blogging away.
After blogging, I played legos with Ammon and Clarissa. Clarissa got two new lego sets for her birthday, and together we built the Frozen-themed one. It was a huge highlight for me. The activity was so authentically fun. It was perfectly age appropriate. Clarissa was very excited by her legos, and I was able to guide the building process. I would take turns asking Clarissa and Ammon to find and/or connect certain pieces and they were continuously entertained and enjoying it, and I was too! It was really enjoyable play-time with the kids.
Afterwards, we took the legos up to Clarissa’s room and played with them. Anna visited Elsa, who was sad, and took her on a sleigh ride to Olaf’s. Elsa cheered up when she got a crown and socialized at Olaf’s place. It was a great time! Mary joined us towards the end.
Lily is getting back on the exercise train after France and she’s going full at it. We could hear her screaming while using one of the workout machines while we were playing legos. Go Lily!
After playing legos, I showered and got ready for the day (at 7PM lol), helped tidy the kitchen and then went to the Real Salt Lake game. I arranged tickets at the Qualtrics suite for my old team-mates, team Spartacus. We had an amazing turnout and used all, but one of the 15 tickets. I had such a great time catching up with old friends who mean so much to me. I was tired, and I felt a little socially off, but that didn’t stop me from just feeling grateful for being with people who have meant so much to me and enjoying their glow and humor. Also the game was very entertaining. The opposing team tied up the score right at the end with a beautiful header.
