I volunteered at the book fair last week. It was a 3 and a half hour shift and the library was freezing. It was the first day back to school after the break and some teachers thought maybe that was the reason. Who knows, but what I do know is that I kept my big coat on the whole time and by the end of my shift I was miserable. It took forever to get warm!
On Friday Adi took her driving test for her license. I was nervous for her, but she passed! The tester was so sweet, he really made her feel comfortable and was so chill.
She babysat that night and she drove herself! It’s never easy the first time they drive away by themselves, but as with most growing up things, it’s bittersweet because it’s so nice and convenient!
Now 60% of our children are licensed drivers. And Adi drove away in the same car she came home from the hospital in. 🤣 we are savers. Which is good because our car insurance nearly doubled.
Several candles melted in our Christmas bins. That’s never happened before, so weird.
Saturday was a busy one. Adi drove herself to take her SAT, we dropped Delaney and Ellie Cox at Nutcracker rehearsal, cleaned the church, worked on the egress project, back to church for Christina’s baptism, back home to the egress project.
We’ve worked on the egress project when we could squeeze it in. After we dug it all out we had to level the ground, scrape, sand, and clean the walls, move the well in, drill holes into the foundation, fit the well onto brackets drilled into the holes, caulk it all sealed shut, shovel dirt back in, pound it down - repeat the last 2 steps about a hundred times.
I had to cut my egress helping short on Saturday night to take Frankie and Delaney to see Matilda.
Ellie and Hasting were in it and Sarah did something for it, produced maybe? Anyways, it was super cute and the girls loved it. Fun date night.
Sunday was another busy one. I met up with Steve and Susanne at our building and drove us all up to Bowie for church, then after we had our temple and family history council with them. We talked the whole way up and back - over an hour each way about a single adult plan for the stake and how our temple and family history meetings have gone. I pedaled like a maniac to get back to our building in time for our 2:15 council with Pax. That was our 6th/8 and I think they’ve been going well and have been helpful to the wards. Like, they’ve all had a lot to say and we’ve shared new info and I feel like each time we get a little better at presenting together.

And I know our baby is 12 and lots of people don’t like the elf, but we have fun with her. 🤷♀️🤗
We really needed to get the well attached and caulked before a massive rainstorm Monday, so we had to finish attaching and caulk this guy on Sunday.
We love a day of rest on the sabbath, but with so many other good things keeping us busy, we had an ox in the mire situation.
Anyways, by the light of work lamps we attached her and sealed her up with a few hours to spare before we got a ton of rain Monday and then a 24 hour deluge on Wednesday. It’s Thursday as I write this and we’ve got the hole 3/4 of the way filled back in. 😅
