Not a lot happened last week. Wednesday night Kjerstin sang with the Sunday School during Lenten Services at Oak Park Lutheran Church. She loves to sing. Now she is learning the new hymn for Palm Sunday. "Hosana, Loud Hosana" I think she likes this song because it has the word children in it a few times. We are diligantly working on the two verses she has to learn so she can sing it nice and loud on Palm Sunday.
Thursday Kjerstin went to Preschool. Quinten came home early from work so he stayed with the kids while I went into Thief River Falls to run some errands. I drop more blankets off at Sjorberg's Cable in TRF for Project Linus, went to the bank, Universal Screen print to pick up T-shirts we had made for Nelson and Nelson Construction, RV sports for a new battery for the kids' 4-wheeler, and Wal-Mart for some odds and ends. I ended up buying some flannel to make a couple more blankets but it has to wait until I finish the current project I have going. Plus Quinten said to me the other day, "How many blankets are you on a mission to make?". Well I think I would make blankets almost every day for most of the day if I had an option to do so. It is a hobby that I have really gotten into and would totally enjoy it if I found a job where I could do just that, but that is not really an option. Plus right now my kids need me at home. When I came home Ashlyn and Kjerstin were asleep and Kehan was going strong after a nap. I guess Kjerstin came home was up for awhile and then just went in her room and went to sleep. Sometimes dads do not know the little things there kids do that moms know. I knew imediately that Kjerstin had a fever after Quinten told me what she had done. Sure enough she was at 100.7. I gave her some Ibuprophen and she slept for a while longer and then got up. The kids had colds all weekend. They are on the tail end of them now.
Friday we took the kids out to eat at Cafe Rhombus in TRF. They had fun but they never eat much when we go out to eat unless it is McyD's. When we got home we put the kids in bed and then I went to the church to do the bulletin, I am the church secretary after all.
Saturday Kjerstin had ballet in Grand Forks. A neighbor picked her up along with her granddaughter Karlee and they went to GF. They had a great time as they got to go to McyD's and play and then to Cabela's after that. She returned home around 8:30pm. Uncle Chris was going to take her as he was already going to GF, but the neighbor called Friday night and offered to take her.
Sunday was church and grandma Lana's for lunch then home to do a whole lot of nothing. Which is a good thing. All though we do a lot of nothing at our house I guess.
Today is a slow day too. Just cleaning and playing with the kids. The endless piles of laundry continue to run through the washer and dryer. Man 5 people really make for a lot of laundry. I can't imagine how it goes at our Pastor's house when they have 9 children, 11 people in that household to do laundry for! I would be greatful that they have a well and do not have to pay city utilities for water!
