November 27 - December 3 2023

 Last week I was switching the strings on my violin and while I was tuning the E string my bridge snapped in half. I will be playing the violin in a fireside in a couple of weeks, so I was pretty stressed when this happened. We ordered a new bridge right away and I was able to borrow a violin until the bridge arrived and I was able to fix my violin. I also made banana bread on Monday that overflowed in the oven. After I put Mary down for a nap I cleaned the oven and finished making the banana bread and it turned out delicious.

Tuesday, we had Mary's friend, Josie, over to play. Mary loved having her friend over. They pretended to be ghosts and then pretended to take a nap (one of Mary's favorite games right now). That night I went to the church to practice singing for a musical number next week. Wednesday, I went caroling to an elderly home with the Relief Society. I was able to get the bridge on my violin on Thursday. We missed the weekly play group because Mary has been going through a sleep regression, we just needed some extra sleep that day.

Friday, we had a playdate with the Gochenours. They had been with their family for Thanksgiving. Mary missed playing with them while they were out of town. Both Lydia and EverLee wanted to give Mary lots of hugs. They played dress-up and had a great time together. Saturday, I returned the borrowed violin and practiced the song for the fireside.

Sunday, I practiced for the musical number after church. Paul had his coordination meeting and Mary fell asleep. She was sleeping in one of the pews and Josie was protecting her from getting woken up while we practiced singing. Paul came in and was cuddling with Mary and Josie gave him dirty looks the rest of the practice because he woke up Mary and Josie didn't recognize him as Mary's dad. It was hilarious and Paul loved that she was being a good friend to Mary. We enjoyed watching the First Presidency Christmas Devotional that evening.

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
