Pre-School


Today Sarah is at preschool.  It's been weird having 2 hours to myself.  Not sure I ever would have thought 2 hours alone was a big deal before kids.  Anyways, we started a mommy preschool where the kids rotate homes.  So I teach only once a month and we all teach a letter, color, and number.  Last week was at our place.  It was on spiders, purple, 8, and the letter S. 

Spider cookies
We made spider cookies for our treat.  Created purple spiders with finger paint.  Read books about spiders.  Sang the eensy weensy spider and little miss muffet songs and then had play time.  This will totally help me make it thru the Rigby winters a little more sane (hopefully).

I also set up a temple swap with our good friend Tonya.  She watches Sarah one Friday a month so I can attend the temple during the day.  We swap babysitting so we can both get in an added temple session.  It’s so nice having someone close by that I trust to watch Sarah.  She loves playing with Gabriel.  Sure appreciate the time to attend the temple, focus, think, and reflect.  There is nothing better than feeling the Spirit in the temple and spending some time in the celestial room.

We were so so so happy to have the Peerys come visit us. They had a homecoming to attend in Idaho Falls, but we were glad to see family again.  They are all so cute and smart and I love them to bits.  I'm not at all biased either. :)

In other news, mom and dad left for their mission.  I am so happy they are able and willing to serve.  They are such Christ-like examples to me.  I am so lucky to have them as my parents.

 
Nathan surprised me with flowers!  Nice or what?
