Friday Letters
Dear Children, you spent half of your spring break bored and the other half doing super funness to make up for it. Dear Mesa, I don't love having to travel up there every week. Traffic didn't used to bother me, now it does. I love the small town life. Although, I was surrounded by the aroma of blossoms and beautiful flowers. That part I really liked. And the saving factor of the drive is the last hour or so the highway is lined with all different colors of wild flowers. So pretty. Dear Spring Break, going off roading on a hike to the bat cave. Hailey laughed until she cried and Kade was in heaven. It was fun. Dear Family, it was nice to see you. It was so nice to walk in sit down and have my Dad rub my shoulders and back. Dear Dentist, we had some who pulled off no cavities again. That baffles me, but I will take it. The one with cavities will make up for it. Dear Hazel, at the dentist we discovered that you have two loose teeth! You have been waiting your whole life to loose a tooth. We will see how long it takes I can't imagine you will let anyone ever pull your tooth.Your negotiating skills are great. On the drive home you said "hailey if you don't talk the whole way home I will give you one penny" Hailey said pshaw maybe for a thousand pennies. You gave her a look, paused, then said "fine...two pennies". You make me laugh. Dear Avary, I don't know if your cast will hold up for two weeks. It is already falling apart. Nothing to do with you sticking it in the tub then filling it with sand on the playground. You are not liking it. Dear Big Brother, I hope you had a good birthday, maybe even a birthday cake this year? I was thinking of you! Dear World, right about now we are traveling "supposedly" 5 hours in the car with 7 children. We will see how long it really will take and if we return sane. Dear Will, I loved our date night this week. I'm not quite sure if I've ever been serenaded in the desert by a pack of coyotes before. Thank You for the effort that you put into our relationship. I love you. Dear Self, my body is on strike. My back being out too long causing my neck and head to hurt all of the time and the exhaustion is unreal. The saving factor is how blessed I am and how grateful I feel. I wouldn't trade my blessings for anything. Not even a pain free body.
