We took the girls to story time today. I'm glad that they started doing a session on Saturday mornings, because both girls at that was too much for me to handle by myself. Saree just isn't quite ready to sit through the 30-40 minutes, but Jaycie won't sit by herself. Then they have a craft time afterward. They both have fun with that. Today we modge podged some paper and tinfoil onto bottles to make candle holders.
Then we went geocaching again. I didn't think it would be too successful considering we have snow, but it was nice to get out and see some of the area. We went to Dolores, CO. It is a rustic, kind of quaint, little town about 10 miles North of Cortez. The first cache was a virtual cache, that just means you read something or see something and answer a question about it correctly and then you get credit for the "find". The second one was the one that turned out to be problematic. We had passed the cache and turned around in a parking area for the hiking and skiing trails in San Juan National Park when Jim decided he was going to pull of to the side of the road. It wasn't a good idea because he promptly got us stuck in a snow drift that took 5 men to get us out of.
I've also started potty training Saree. She was already pretty much trained except the wetting part. I have had a difficult time getting her to go in to the bathroom for that. I finally got her some M&Ms and that seems to be going well. Another chocoholic in the making. That's the first thing she says after "I'm done", "M&Ms"!!! She is also finally going into nursery by herself and not screaming and crying for Jim or I.
Jaycie is loving her new primary class. I can't believe she is a Star 5. She also has started on a jewelry thing. She wants to have jewelry on all the time, of course it doesn't stay on, but she still insists on it. I've gotten to the point of "forgetting" so that she won't be a disruption at church.
I have to talk again in church next Sunday as part of the Primary presidency, can't tell you how excited I am about that. Jim gets to go camping next weekend and can't wait. The girls and I are looking forward to our girls night. I get to watch a Barbie movie (again), eat popcorn and share my bed with the girls (not so fun). Anyway, I'm going to make Jim take the little camera camping so we can see how it was and I'll post the pictures next week.
Love to all.
