Adam and Heather Hayes

Right before I got sick I had a Mormon Wonder Woman day, my friend had a whole wonder woman week recently and so it inspired me to document my one Wonder Woman Day.

I cut by hand 20 pints worth of beef roast chunks, and canned them.

I made rolls, cookies, and soup for a friend's family who was sick.

I babysat a four year old.

I set up and started tieing a quilt for a family whose house burned down.

I had a clean kitchen the whole day. (who cares what the rest of the house looked like, right?)

I "burried" a dead pet cat. (Vi came into the house cuddling a cat, and said "Mom, I have a cat, I think it's dead."  I told her to put it back where she found it and go wash her hands.  Where she found it was right where all the kids were playing outside, so I had to get rid of it pronto.)

Adam is pretty happy I'm finally using the quilt stands and frames he made for me two years ago for the first time.   I really got on his case to make them for me so I could tie this exact quilt, but alas, all the parts and pieces have sat in the basement family room for 2 years untouched till now.  Well, Wonder Woman Days don't happen every day!

Sorry for the delay in entries, but there really hasn't been much to say! I pretty much stay inside out of the below zero temperatures and get bored, day after day! Erith's school has been canceled twice due to cold temperatures. We have had some get togethers with friends that have broken up the monotony nicely. I have a cross stitch for the baby I should be finishing, a quilt that needs tied, and piles of scrapbooking I should be doing. But alas, January has sucked the motivation out of me. February please warm up my ambition! We are all doing fine and shouldn't complain so please don't give this blog too much credit!

Vi is trying to talk more. Adam is getting quite good at his piano playing. Erith is loving school and doing great. Tricity is doing Erith's homework again after she brings it home and learning a lot. I am reading Finding Peace, Happiness, and Joy by Richard G. Scott. I like it a lot, it's very good for my state of mind right now.

We hope you are all healthy and happy, have a great day!
