follow up on the Froggie Song

Last night Alan had scouts so I put the girls to bed by myself. When it came time for the song I didn't even ask what anyone wanted but just started to sing "Teach Me to Walk in the Light." Alyssa suddenly threw a fit! "No," she cried "Doggie, Froggie!" Naturally I told her, and the others that I don't know the Froggie Song and that it is Daddy's song and only he can sing it with them. Sarah responded, "We can teach you Mommy. It's a repeat after me song..." I shook my head and continued with the original choice. I can see that I'm not going to have to do much singing at night for awhile. It's all down to you, Alan.

Well so far today we've lost some shingles and parts of the fence are trying to blow down.

Today has been busy. This morning I stripped all the beds, including the mattress covers and gathered all the laundry that needed washed. Then of course I started a load. I helped Emmie tidy up the family room so I could vacuum it and the living room. I vacuumed. I cleaned up the kitchen, washing the crock-pot and loading the dishwasher. I showered and did my hair, which by the way I don't like doing but which I do every day anyway. I dressed Alyssa and coaxed Emmie to get dressed even though her princess shirt was dirty and I was also washing her "Aurora" dress. I did school with Emmie and ground and made whole wheat bread, three large loaves. I called several people and wrote 2 spotlights for the r.s. newsletter and found a sister to make a dinner for another sister on Wednesday. I drove over to a sister's home to pick up some rice-crispies since she had some and I didn't want to drive in the snow to Walmart. Then Emmie and I made rice-crispie treats for FHE. Emmie was in charge of the treat. I washed dishes again and made Alyssa's bed and part of Emmie and my bed. By then I had put 5 loads through and finally took a 45 min. nap. It was only interrupted twice. Then I got up, read my scriptures and put more laundry through, fed the girls a snack and decided I'd been impressive and ought to blog about it. Later I will make chili for dinner. The end.
