Today is the last day of our 11 day all home togetherness. Tomorrow is back to work & school for two of us at least. Anyone else have a hard time going back to reality? And does anyone else remember Christmas break being much longer from school than just 11 days? I remember like 2 or 3 weeks.
My least favorite parts:
1. spending the first half being sick
2. doing the 8 hour fasting glucose preggo test, but at least I'm really not gestationally diabetic
My favorite parts:
1. Being in the sunny 50's & playing outside. I love the sun!
This is our staged reenactment of the opening & end credits of Little House on the Prairie TV show of course. Anyone else watch that growing up?
2. Going on a one-on-one date with both of my older boys. Hunter & I (per his request) enjoyed Andy's custard, picking new books at the library & playing at the red slide park. Hyrum (per his request) & I went on a walk & ate lunch at Houlihan's. He has wanted to go to this restaurant since we moved here because they were in the middle of building it right by our house, he likes that it starts with an H & it always smells really good around lunch & dinner time.
3. Lots of fun playing at home
4. Naps
5. And introducing the newest SUNBEAM at church! And the oldest too :) He seemed to adjust great, said he liked it & was excited to see Hyrum in Primary. I'm still the nursery leader & we lost 9 of our kids to Primary.We only have 4 or 5 in nursery that come now instead of 14 (& two of them are mine)! It was very nice & quiet in there.
6. Jeremy made dinner the whole 11 days he's been off, has let me sleep in every morning for however long I needed to (so I could stay up past 9:30 at night) & has changed most of the poopy diapers. I feel spoiled. Can't we do this for another week??

I can't believe your break was only 11 days! No fun! If you count weekends ours was 17 days. Too bad you were sick the first half! And I am SO GLAD you don't have gestational diabetes! I had it with Elden...for only three days...but when I found out I was crying. It was so sad. Happy New Year Megan!
Cute post Megan! I'm so happy to hear you got a little break. Jeremy wins BIG points for all the cooking and diaper changing!!! Good job Jeremy!!! :) You are all so sweet together and I always love reading your updates! :)
I don't think we ever had 3 weeks off at Christmas, but I could be wrong. We had about the same amount of time that you did, but Dad went back to work after Christmas. I finished some long awaited projects INSTEAD of jury duty.(Our group was excused by Wednesday, and I never had to go in). Love your blog posts, it's so nice to 'see' you and your family whenever I want:)
