\"IMG_20131110_230614\"<\/a>The little boys spent the weekend dressing up in layers of superhero awesomeness and throwing glow sticks in the dark.<\/p>\n

Paige worked on a painting and performed her concerto for some judges (amazing!). She and Richard stayed up late working on math, much to Richard’s delight.<\/p>\n

Daniel showed off his web design skills for his dad and helped clean out the gutters.<\/p>\n

Richard worked on the leaves (a never-ending project) until he stepped on a rusty nail in the garden. Boo!<\/p>\n

My dad took us out to dinner for my birthday. I chose Los Hermanos in downtown Provo as the restaurant, of course.<\/p>\n

I played the violin in church with Paige as my accompanist. People loved seeing Paige up there with me. A good friend reminded me that we have a year and a half left to play together and that we need to cherish it.<\/p>\n

I spent last night preparing mentally for the week ahead. I took Richard to the airport and then drove home without the radio and let the silence seep into my soul. I read to the boys from The Two Towers<\/em> until Mark fell asleep nestled up beside me. After the bedtime routines, I made lists and menus, looked up maps and recipes, and searched for library books that are due. I made play dough for the second graders. I went to sleep listening to the Mormon Tablernacle Choir and then Alfie Boe.<\/p>\n

It was a good weekend. I think I’m ready to face the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
