Scattered Thoughts

February 11 was Guard's choose day. Every month on their birth date, each child gets to choose a fun activity. For example, Guard was born on May 11, so the 11th of every month is his choose day. We try to keep things simple, letting the kids choose a bigger activity a few times a year. This month Guard chose to make strawberry pineapple ice cream with the Yonanas, watch The Jungle Book, and snuggle with Mom. I love spending time with my little man.

Every Thursday morning, we drive to Eagle Mountain for our homeschool co-op. This Thursday was a cloudy, gray day with only a touch of sun shining through the clouds. When we drove past the Saratoga Springs temple, a ray of sun had just burned through the clouds and landed right on the temple. It was so beautiful! I wish I had a better picture (this one was taken through the window, while driving). It again reminded me how much I need the temple and love it!

Ever since Greg has started working from home, I find myself making meals for lunch and not just having everyone fend for themselves. The family loves it...I feel like I'm doing a lot of cooking! One of our favorite lunches is ham fried rice. It's easy, cheap, and everyone likes it. Most of it. This is Guard's plate after lunch. He will carefully pick out every pea, every time we have it. Sigh...this kid will not eat any green veggie!
