This was quite the Sunday. Lots going on. I got stuck after church taking care of some business so the boys decided to walk home so they could get on their Zoom Sunday school meeting. When I got home Jack was nowhere to be seen, Ian was on Zoom, and Peter came around the corner with his sad face going strong. Said I, "Peter, what's wrong?" Silently he went into the laundry room and pulled out his church pants. One leg was completely covered in mud. "I slipped and fell in the mud coming home," said Peter, "but you should see Jack. He is so much worse!" Apparently, on the way home Jack had been the first to slip in the mud and ended up completely covered. (I'm dying laughing as I write this) Peter immediately started laughing at Jack in the mud and promptly slipped and fell himself. Ian was there to witness the whole thing but didn't feel like playing along and wallowing in the mud himself. So funny! I will be checking out that re-run in the afterlife. February 7, 2021 walk home from church. I wish I could have seen it happen!
Our Great to be 8 event went really well and we had an excellent turnout. It was super fun to meet with those kids again and got me really excited to go back to having Primary in person which we have now been cleared to do starting February 21. Hooray!
We had such a good time with everyone who came up for Eliza's baptism. Thanks for feeding us all, Ruth and Addy! Super yummy! We had to step out for Ian to go to his audition for Guys and Dolls which, in his own words, he "slayed". Good job, Ian. Peter also had to leave the party early to play a soccer game which they won, aided by Peter's 3 goals. So fun!
Ian also attended his first teen dance. The homeschool group sets them up every few months and uses the Menan town hall to hold these dances. Ian's friends were convinced that these dances were probably Ian's spirit animal and he should absolutely go. Predictably, he loved it.
Jack is having a really good time interacting with his Deacon's quorum these days and it is so fun to listen to them get on their Zoom meetings and laugh like only 12 year old boys can. It cracks me up. They have done a Zoom scavenger hunt and Zoom egg drop challenge among other things. A couple of weeks ago Jack put together a Zoom Would you Rather game which had them all laughing and debating for an hour! One of our favorite questions was "Would you rather be able to stop time for 10 seconds every day or have a do-over once a day?" Please answer this! Such a good question! Also, "would you rather be able to fly 10 mph or run a 100 mph".
Alex went to Salmon and had a meeting with a business owner up there that completely inspired him and made him want to move to a smaller town. First time, ever, that he has mentioned such a thing. I'm sure the urge will pass. *sigh*
We are gearing up for our annual Super Bowl party tomorrow morning! Should be fun. Ian took it upon himself to come up with a bunch of games to play since the boys don't actually care about the game. But they are thrilled with the menu they planned!
Thanks for your Monday morning messages, Mom!
Have a great week, y'all! Hope to see you soon! Hope the Joe Belliston crew is feeling better! Covid stinks.
