Fri Jan 15th

Today is the mad dash for finishing all the cleaning and reorganizing so mom has a nice clean house this week. I woke up and got to work. Nick and Lisey shoveled the walk so it's nice and clear of snow for mom. I worked on my room.

The kids practicing the piano. They love each other so much. 

 Then at 10:30 I got my running clothes on and we went to itty-bitty basketball. Today's the last day. I think Lisey really enjoyed it. I was able to run and watch and link had a little snooze. 

Lisey is going to miss all the running around :). 

Then we drove home and I took a two-minute shower, literally. And then we drove to the airport. Mom had forgotten her phone so we did it the old-school way... Which I found out is not overly efficient. I was parked for a long time and mom was waiting in a different spot. By divine intervention I looked outside and saw her down the way.  Thank goodness for the spirit or nothing would get done.

Then we went to cafe rio for some lunch. Nick went onto Walmart and I went to Ella's school to help out. After I was able to chat with Ellas teacher, Mrs.Raynes, her about Ella's homework. I told her about the struggles we've been having, especially with the spelling homework. She said we can do it however it works best for Ella. Mrs. Raynes is so so nice. I'm so glad Ella got her as her teacher. Ella really likes her class. Thank you Heavenly Father for a great 2nd grade teacher for Ella. 

I got the rest of my room clean. The house actually looks pretty nice. I did a lot of organizing and it feels great. 

I can't believe we leave tomo for the cruise! I am going to miss these kiddos.
