Snoopy Play

Do you know what I do when I sit down to write my family email?  First I try really hard to think about what has gone on this past week…and after thinking for a minute or so realize I can’t remember what happened this week!  So without fail I pull out my phone to look at the pictures I have taken to help me remember J  Should I be concerned?  Hahahaha, if I’m this bad right now, I am in serious trouble later!

(Scrolling through pictures now….)

Ok, remembering.  So Audrie finished her production of Snoopy this week!  Thank heavens it’s over!! She had a FABULOUS time being apart of it and had already shared with me her sadness that it is over.  I see some drama in her future (although she’s very dramatic already!  As in preteen drama, bleh.).  The play itself was quite honestly one of the worst plays I have ever seen, but it doesn’t matter because Audrie enjoyed herself thoroughly J  See attached photo.  Doesn’t she look all grown up?  She is definitely a pretty girl.

Kaylee had her “Thankful” Party (why we don’t just call it a thanksgiving party makes me crazy).  It was really cute.  Kaylee and all the kindergartners did two dances that  were darling.  She had a blast…until the assistant principal cut is short because parents were taking pictures (of their own kids)…oh my word.  This country is turning into a “walk on eggshells” country.  But we tried to stay positive anyway, as I did not want Kaylee’s special day to be ruined because of some dumb rule.  (Can you tell I’m still a little angry about it? HA!) My illegal picture is below...scandalous!

We also found out we are being Audited because of our charitable contributions for 2012.  I think we have everything together and ready to send off to the IRS.  Hopefully it won’t be a long process and they don’t need anything else J  Never a dull moment at the Hart household!

Speaking of charitable contributions we had our tithing settlement last night with the bishop.  Our children always need some serious prep before we go in to make sure we don’t say or do anything embarrassing (it’s happened many a time), so we did our usual song and dance and then walked into the office.  The Bishop began talking to each one of the children trying to get to know them a little better.  First Tyler, then Audrie, Kaylee and finally Sam.  After the first round Audrie raised her hand with something else she wanted to say.  The Bishop acknowledged her and began conversing with her again.  While he was talking with Audrie, Sammy chimed in, looked right at the Bishop, and with a really loud and DIRECT voice said, “Will you marry me?” Hahahahaha.  We just giggled and giggled.  Now we can add that to our list of embarrassing moments in tithing settlement J  Our two year old proposed to the Bishop!  Wonder if that happens often?  We are just special like that I suppose.

Best news of all was KATIE!!!!  I am so thrilled that Dixie high is just amazing like that.  I got quite teary after hearing about her being crowned Queen!!  What a great way to end your HS career. 

My craft day was a success!  So glad it went well this year.  I enjoyed myself more than I have in the past.

Anyway, I better go.  We’ve been potty training for the past 4 days…it’s going ok.  Nothing exciting to report, except for the fact that SHE gets SO excited when “the potty is coming” and squeals and giggles as we RUN to the toilet each time.  Glad it’s a positive experience, but I’m wishing she would get there a little sooner (I think we went through 8 pairs of panties Sat).  We will get there!
