Katie sometimes gets frustrated, when she does she stomps her foot. Things she said this week: "I try?", "please, thank you", " I funny". She liked to say "I try?" When I was doing chores like sweeping, laundry, watering plants, and putting dishes away.
Mary let me know when she thought things were gross this week. She said, "gross" or "ew" a lot this week, it was pretty funny.
Mom: I am having fun with my color projects and learning more about analysis. I got another course on udemy that I started this week.
Dad is still frustrated at work but is getting closer to a new balance after everything shifted with the layoffs.

Monday we watched Josie and Jack. Katie was so excited when they walked in the door that she jumped up and down (she can't quite jump yet, so it's more like excited stomping). I taught violin that night.
Tuesday I took both Mary and Katie to tumbling and I taught violin while they were in dance. It was a good set up. The teachers said that Katie did a good job and Mary would help her if she got distracted. We went to the library after for a little bit.
Wednesday we went to the park with our friends. ShaLay, Lindsay, Naomi, Virginia, and Megan all came. Thursday we went to the exercise class. It was just April, ShaLay, Cheryl, and me. ShaLay and I stayed until 11:30 just talking and the girls played. I sold some guitar stuff after, which Dad was really excited about.
Saturday I felt sick and wasn't able to go for a run. Alex, my violin student, had his last swim meet of the season so he canceled his violin lesson for that day.
Sunday was Mother's Day. That morning we got treats at Grocery outlet, breakfast at Taco Bell then I prepped my lesson and bathed the girls before getting ready for church myself. I had a YW presidency meeting before church then Katie pooped right as we were going into the chapel, so I went outside to change her. The girls were kind of crazy during sacrament meeting. Katie kept running away and Mary would follow me trying to catch her. Norm Johnson approached me after the meeting and said I should sit with them next week so they can help me with my kids, which was thoughtful. After church Dad and I fought about Emily and Ben's weddings in August and how long we're staying with family and how we'll get home from Denver with the kids staying sane, etc. I rage cleaned the house and we ignored each other for a few hours then came to an agreement but it wasn't the Mother's Day I was hoping for. I did buy myself a hair straightener since mine is breaking, so that was good. The gift from church was a cute cup that had candy in it.

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...
