 Yesterday we were supposed to go to a birthday party, but Cooper and McKinley were just sleeping a lot because I didn’t sleep well the night before and also saying they didn’t feel so good and then Tom came over that night for dinner and Cooper was saying that his ear was hurting. So then today Dallin brought him into the doctors office and he has an ear infection. And McKinley and I went to the UPS together to do returns and it was so cute. She was helping me put stuff in bags and put the sticker on and then put it in the box where it goes And on the way there she put her coat over her face and I was like what are you doing and she said my face is cold so I thought that was funny. 

And then Dallin described this idea for our living room to me and I said you crazy that would look weird and then I put it in ChatGPT and I actually love the way it looks and we want to do that

We have been trying to get back into the swing of things with homeschool and it’s been very difficult after having a week off so we’ve been trying to just do a little bit and keep it light and not expect him to do everything that he was doing before and so he didn’t even do ELA today. All he did was math and handwriting so I’m getting a little worried because I’ve been like trying to get back on track for a few days now. So hopefully it goes OK the next couple of days. But anyway, we made these spiders by painting their hands black and then doing a handprint and they turned out cute. 

McKinley has been enjoying the basement a lot lately. We could spend hours down there with all the different things there are to do and it’s so cute to see her get excited about everything.

I think this latest virus has just been really hard for them to kick and then also I don’t think that they sleep that well at night and so everyone has just seemed really tired lately especially Cooper. McKinley will stay up till midnight partying in her room and it drives me crazy.

We went to our first burn Boot Camp class this evening and the kids did really well going to the daycare and it was nice to be pushed again athletically speaking because when I work out by myself, I don’t ever push myself. We liked it so I applied to work there to try to offset the cost. We will see how that turns out. But we’re hoping that in this new year we can figure out a routine for our family that allows us to get fit again because it feels like something that we’ve been trying to do for like 7 years and have not done.
