Blogger's Block

I have had a hard time finding anything note-worthy to blog about.
It seems that most of my posts consist of much the same-ness. We are crazy busy with 6 kids going all different directions...
I got to about the middle of January and realized that I had 10 days of vacation that I was going to lose, if I didn't use it. So, I have been taking every Monday off. It has been nice I have had a few days to myself and a couple of days of with the kids, that I would have otherwise been working. I have gone to the temple, eaten lunch with Ryan, had lunch with Brenda and my parents. Honestly, I have felt a little self-indulgent. (And, I still have 5 more Mondays off!) It will be a big-time downer when I have to work 5 days a week again.
Valentine's Day was yesterday, and we had a great weekend! We missed Darby & Sadie they went to their Dad's for the long weekend. But, Chloe spent 3 straight days singing for the choir fundraiser, Singing Valentines. So she hung out with the rest of us here.
Saturday Ryan and I went to the movie "Valentine's Day" and out for dinner. Sunday we had dinner here and Grandpa & Grandma Bracken came over. It was nice, small in comparison to our usual Sunday dinner crowd, but very nice.
Today is President's Day and it is a beautiful day! All of the kids are outside even Chloe. It is just one of those days when I am glad I live here.
