I love these girls so stinkin much! They are such good teenagers...so far.
Dear Children, wow, who knew the power of $2.00. All seven of you worked so hard around the house. All for a couple bucks. Without money it's a battle, and a fierce one. Dear Kade, you earned your Arrow of Light this week. You were pretty happy about that. I'm proud of you little man. Dear Hailey Lou, we attended your first choir concert. It was great, I really enjoy singing. Dear Avary, you are about to turn 9 yrs old. I don't know if I can handle any more of you getting older. Especially my little girls. Although if you can survive to the age of 10 without any major injury it will be a miracle. You have had a rough week with first pulling a muscle in your neck at gymnastics, that was super rough. And believe me I know, I have done that twice. Once you sprain it you are more likely to do it again. Then today you were doing handsprings on the trampoline, over corrected and smacked your chin and face right on the pole. You haven't recovered from that yet. You can't open your mouth, eat or get off your bed. You just cried for 2 hrs and went to sleep. I really hate it when you get hurt, it makes me so sad. Dear Hazel, you have been a great little helper lately. I'm glad one of my children likes to clean...half the time. Dear Will, we stayed up way too late this week. But we still accomplished a lot. I'm glad we got to the Temple this week, it would have been better without the headache though. I Love You Lots. Dear Self, the overwhelming panic has completely taken over. I mean really bad. It's the first vacation I have ever taken without my kids for such a long time. I am not prepared at all and I'm freaking out about leaving my kids. Like in tears at the thought of it. I just can't be excited yet. It's rough on my Mamma heart.
