Yeah, so I post about things, not “the day” apparently. Märia wanted a break, so here goes.
We woke up this morning around 7 or so. Well, I woke up then. Märia had been up a long time already, and had been playing Final Fantasy 12. She really is enjoying that game. So when I got up, she quit and we started doing dishes. She is doing all the washing right now, as my hand is really cut up pretty good, and I didn’t want to get dish germies in it. I fell off my bike when I was riding down our hill in the rain way way too fast.
Anyway, so we did lots and lots of dishes, and then the girls started talking and saying they were awake and why weren’t we in there getting them up? So I went to go get them up, and Märia started cooking Sunday breakfast (which is normally my job). She cleaned out the pan first though, and didn’t get all the soap out, and so our chocolate malt-o-meal tasted like soap. The girls didn’t mind though.
So today was stake conference, and so we went up to the primary room as we didn’t see the girls sitting through 2 whole hours of people giving talks. Suzanne Bree and her kiddos were there and the kids all had lots of fun playing while Märia, me and Suzanne tried to referee the kids and also listen to the talks that were being piped into the Primary room through speakers. We had the room all to ourselves because as soon as we got in I shut the door so noone knew they could come in. I probably should feel bad about that, but I figure anyone who came in would’ve left as soon as they saw how our kids acted, so it’s morally even in my mind. I even saved them some time, so maybe I come out in the positive! =)
So we came home, and EVERYONE GOT NAPS! You can’t understand how rarely that happens. And it wasn’t a short nothing nap either, I think we all slept an hour and a half at least! When we woke up we cleaned some more and Märia played some more of her game and we ate a salad and we rough housed and read books. It was really a pretty good day.
I made a new pizza too. It was kinda interesting, I sautéed onions and red peppers and chicken in rosemary, basil, parsley, salt and pepper and a very little pizza sauce. Then I threw it on my standard dough with just a little more pizza sauce, a normal amount of mozzarella cheese and lots of parmesan, compliments of Seporah who dumped the whole can. =) I say I made this, but Seporah helped the whole time, “cutting” veggies and chicken with her plastic knife and putting all the herbs in for me (Thats enough Seporah, how about some more of this one…) and stirring everything. She is a super kitchen helper. And it all turned out quite nice. The pizza came out tasting like a sweet barbeque pizza and everyone ate dinner. You really don’t know how rare it is for everyone to eat at a meal around here; Seporah and Felicity can be super picky – unless I bust out the hotdogs or something and then someone else gets picky. =)
Oh yeah, and Seporah peed in the potty every time, had no accidents, and was very nice all day long.
The only negatives for the whole day was Felicity being a little snotty, and Märia beating the stuffing out of me at dice Monopoly.
Sounds like the pretty Sunday; family life can be so rewarding and the pizza sounded good, too. Märia raves about your pizza; I guess we’ll have to try it someday. Perhaps we’ll come to the island this year or you guys can come to the mainland; either way, you are the designated cook for a night! 🙂
I have not played a good RPG in a long time. Josh keeps trying to get me involved with a WWII adventure but I haven’t taken the bait yet.
Well, today is MLK Day, an official holiday, and I have the day off. Actually, I think it is laundry day and maybe a movie day. You would think with the inauguration being tomorrow that I would be all over DC but it is just about freezing here in Springfield VA and there are more than a million more people than normal in the capital. Well, anyway, I think I will watch the inauguration on CNN from the comfort of a nice warm room. I hope you enjoy your extra day off.
Love you, guys
