Spring break 2016 - days 1&2

Yesterday was a catch up day. It was a clean up, teaching, tiring, pms'ing day. There were a few redeeming moments. The best one being Addie's awesome FHE lesson. She wanted to teach about our savior as we lead up to Easter. She found this picture matching page in The Friend and liked it. It had pictures from our Savior's life and then a line from a song and she had everyone take turns matching. Then she'd gone through and bookmarked each song, so after we matched it, we sang the corresponding song. Then she'd gone through the children's bible and found the corresponding stories, so after the song, Matt read the story. It was really cute and then she bore a sweet little testimony. Love it.

Delaney hurt her arm on Sunday. Our sweet new home teacher picked her up by her wrists (playfully, like one would do with a cute little child) and pulled her wrist out of joint. This has happened many times before, so we all know the drill and it wasn't any big deal, but I felt so bad for our ht'er! Of course Laney-sassy pants was like "you pulled my wrist out!" and was done after that. So Matt and I babied her and brushed her teeth and all, until the pain had gone away and she was fine. So then last night she pretended to be asleep again so she could have her teeth brushed again. I can dig it to be able to brush her teeth easily.

Since yesterday was such a blah day, today needed to be fun. First off, fancy hair.

Then we headed to Ann Marie Gardens. Cute art in the park.

Then tree house making. Sadly, "they" asked if we could leave our tree houses there to show other kids how it goes. (;

It was a very cute, and big, activity.

We walked through the sculptures (no fairy houses this time of year) quickly and then played in the fairy lolly for several hours.

Laney got lost. The moms stayed sitting in the same spot the whole time, but she must have forgotten. She was kind of on her own all day (self imposed) and wandered off looking for me. Thankfully I remembered I hadn't seen her in awhile and went looking for her and found her over by the main building. Losing a child even for a few minutes is such a scary experience!
