ee what a week home can do!Jewel and Dakota are on the couch playing with the DS.
Although only Jewel had the week off from school, it was
a very relaxing time to spend with the kids.
Jewel and Patricia got to play 'dog auditioning for a
Broadway show'. Patricia was the producer and Jewel was
the dog. She named herself 'Frenzy' (from watching her mom?)
Daniel had a call to Pakistan on Friday morning and
worked from home. During the evening he did church
work for the ward.
The tittle of this blog 'gallon jug of happiness' (by Dakota) was inspired by the actions of Patricia, who forgot to do her math. With other sisters in the ward as team members in a weight loss program..the challenge of the week was to drink eight, 8 oz. glasses of water (each day), for the entire week. Well Patricia had eight 16 oz. bottles of water. Needless to say 128 oz for the day, made her a bit ill.
gratitude thought: For school breaks where nothing 'big' is planned. No trips, no sightseeing, no distractions. Just watching your kids play on the couch quietly, being happy and loved at home...watching the sun shine on their heads while dinner is in the oven.
grateful for the realization that I would wind up in the ER if I had to drink 128 oz of water everyday for a week...that I finally did the correct math!

Wow! Patricia, that's a lot of water to down. I'm glad you stayed out of the ER. . .it would be horrible if you drowned yourself. I'd be so sad.
BTW, I didn't realize you had a blog, much less two. . .it'll be great when we leave to keep Cami up to date on Jewel's life :)
Amen to easy, relaxing breaks. I'm glad yours was so good.
Yeah...easy meaning no screaming! (for mommy that is!);-)
