Wednesday, February 10th-

Another adventurous day with the Aitchisons today!

Cora and Molly made some creations with marshmallows and toothpicks this morning. They are such fun girls and great friends. Sometimes I worry about what I'm going to do with Molly when Cora's in Kindergarten. Luckily Kindergarten in Utah is still only half-day so we won't have to miss her too much.

We had Cleod's friend Skyler over after school. I walked to pick the kids up and Skyler fell down on the way home. He kept walking and didn't seem super upset. Cleod said his palm was bleeding so they walked ahead to get home and get a Band-Aid. I was just a minute or two behind and they had cleaned it off with an alcohol wipe and were trying to find a Band-Aid that would fit. I helped them and they went on their day. He said he didn't want to go outside but other than that, Skyler seemed to be fine.



Beautiful view of Enoch that we saw on the
way home from taking treats to Skyler.

About 30 or 40 minutes later, Skyler showed me his knee. It was torn up. I wish I would have taken a photo. Two quarter-sized chunks of flesh were gone but it wasn't bleeding badly. I put gauze on it and called his mom. Once she saw it, she decided to take him to his doctor (who is also his dad) to get it looked at. He ended up having stitches! I felt so badly so the kids and I ran some candy over to his house.



Cleod got treats too.



Then we headed to the church for a little program by the Bears and the Wolves. The performed some skits and songs that they have been practicing the last few weeks. Ryan is a natural actor and singer. I love to watch him perform!

At 6pm, I dropped Cleod off at the church and came home to a husband with a bad headache. Poor guy has not been feeling top-notch for a while and sitting at a desk all day at work doesn't help. So he slept through dinner and me being at mutual. Ryan stepped up and made sure that he and the little kids got their pajamas on and their teeth brushed while I was at the church. Cleod helped out at mutual, which was pretty cute. We were getting Valentine's candy bags ready for our Girl's Camp Fundraiser on Saturday. After a majority of the work was done, Cleod and I headed home and got everyone to bed before I headed out to put Grandma Warby to bed. Phew.
