Flake Fun

 Well, we survived a week of sickness and hopefully we will get some vitamin D this week and get back to 100%. You are right Emma. Doing the Mom thing while you are sick is exhausting. 

We got started on planting our garden.  We put in potatoes, corn, carrots and onions.  I am hoping to get some more planted this qeek.  The gladiolus are on the rise!!!!

Like you heard during Family Matters, we had the ward Fathers and sons overnight activity.  The boys went but didn't spend the night due to chilly temps.  When Robin first heard of what would be going on, she looked at me and stated,  "we should have a lonely party for all the girls who will be lonely during Fathers and sons." So we started planning.  She was really excited and had the whole thing planned (making pizza and having an ice cream bar). As soon as the boys left she started to get ready.  A necklace, bracelet,  earrings and some jewelry for mom too!  She set the table with bright pink plates and napkins, prepared the bowls of ice cream toppings and kept asking how long until the girls came.

Long story short our evening ended with the question, "mom, why did only one person come to my party?" It was heartbreaking.  But I am determined to give it another go in a month or two and give her a party that is a smashing success.  

I'm looking forward to a new week with renewed energy and optimism.   Hope that you all have a great week.
