Here are a few highlights of my 10 on 10 today...

It is a four day weekend for us, so Jachen was home today with me. Lucky us.
1. Had to throw away my electric toothbrush today it was getting gross and was beyond cleaning. Back to good ol manuel for now...{aren't you glad you know this?}
2. Jachen made me breakfast...which happens maybe once a month...so it's a special treat when he offers to cook.
3. Went into St. Gallen to return Jachen's army gear and is now officially out of the Swiss army.
4. Went to this grocery store/shopping center place{don't have them in America and is hard to describe}one that I had been wanting to go to and bought lunch...deli pasta salad, some rotisserie chicken and some pretzel bread. Then shared that new little Toblerone triangle bar. yum.
5. Watched Night at the Roxbury {Jachen's first time seeing it}
6. Cleaned the bathroom together
7. Yesterday we went through everything down in storage to figure out what is throw away, what is giveaway and what is to keep. Today I prepared two bags of STUFF to ship back home tomorrow. Man I really brought WAY too much here when I first moved. Huge regret. {one of those bags is all our Christmas decorations I am keeping though}
8. Posted THIS
9. Dinner
10. Watched some So I Married An Axe Murder
11. Paused the movie to go to the track. We love going to the track together, we have a lot of fun there whilst burning calories.
12. Showered
13. Strawberries and nectarine dessert while finishing the movie {and making this post}.

YUP. that was my day...all while sneezing and having a runny nose. i'm hoping it doesn't lead to me getting sick.

APRIL 10 on 10 for the TACHERS

Here is our 10 on 10.  We didn't quite get all the photos we needed throughout the day, but here is a little peak into our day.

8:45am

Getting shoes on to go drive to the bus stop. Clara is really into wearing these boots everyday.

8:50am

Waiting in the car for the bus cause it is raining.

10:30am

Story time at the Library.  We go every Wednesday to hear story time.  This is a momentous occasion because Clara is actually sitting with the other kids to listen to the story (see there in the grey polka dots).  We have been going since September, and this is the first time she has done that.  She is usually too shy and just sits by me.  So a big deal for her! 

Play dough afterwards.

Then off to the computer.  She loves to get on it and play a little Dora game.  The funny thing is she only plays for about 10 minutes then loses interest...which is nice.  We didn't check out anything today, I didn't feel like carrying the heavy bag up the stairs (I have a hard time walking these days)

12:00pm

Had to do our Trader Joes shopping after the library.  Clara found the hidden crab and is pointing to it.  She gets a sucker for finding it.  She was an excellent helper today!

1:00pm

Finally got home so we could eat lunch.  PB & Honey for Clara, her favorite.

2:00pm

Clara getting cozy on the couch to watch some shows so mom could take a nap.  Thank goodness for the TV babysitter.  I had to conserve my energy for Activity Day Girls tonight, so a nap was a must.  I hate naps, but lately have been really needing them.

4:30pm

After school snack with Leah.  Some of our Trader Joes yummies...apple cinnamon sticks and cheesy chips, yum. Lovely face Clara!

6:15pm

I forgot to take a photo of dinner prep....Biscuit Pizza tonight!  Yum!  Only eat that stuff on rare occasions.  But here is how I ended my day....at Activity Day Girls.  We were sewing aprons.  Mom came to help sew, but didn't get her in the photo.

Then I came home and crashed.  I should of taken a photo of my swollen ankles....next month!!

April 10 on 10: Stephanie

10am: At the library for story time, which was ended up being cancelled. Henry didn't know that's why we were going anyway, so he was okay with it. Look how handsome he is.

11am: At Business Costco. I forget how awesome this place is. This whole section contains equipment for making pizzas

noon: Henry borrowed a shark puppet from the library and now it's eating our plants.

1pm: Lunch. Henry loves peeling oranges all by himself.

2pm: My lunch. After yesterday's partial root canal (being finished up tomorrow), this peanut butter green smoothie is the only thing I can eat.

3pm: Crafting during naptime.

4pm: Someone stole my spot!

5pm: At the pharmacy to pick up some pregnancy-approved pain killers. Hallelujah (they then took a couple of hours to kick in, and I hurt a whole lot until they did).

 

6pm: Family date at Bellevue Square Mall's play area. Rob is driving the speedboat, if you can't tell.

  

7pm: We love family date night (and I'm finally not in pain!)!

One more, just for fun. Henry is really into light sabers these days, which he calls "Darth Vaders" and sometimes he pretends that he uses a binky.

April 10 on 10: Lisa

8am: Trying to get out the door for school--yes, those are the socks she wore.

Finally in the car just about to school.

Just before 9am: Waiting in Target for the pharmacy to open. Colin likes to put way too much food in his mouth at once--hence the puffy cheek. We were also looking at options to hang some new curtains in our front room.

10am: What? Our prescription still isn't ready??? At this point we'd already been to JoAnn's to look at their curtain ring clips, put our loot in the car, switched to a cart and pick up a few groceries. Yep, he's ready to be done.

Finally leaving Target - and it is getting hot.

11am: Sound asleep from the drive home.

Noon: While Colin slept I put up the curtain rings--still debating if they'll hold up to the young ones who like to play in the curtains. I also made myself lunch.

1pm: Who needs toys when you have your sister's combs?

2:17: Racing to the bus stop. I forgot it was Wednesday which means Alyssa's bus gets here an hour earlier. Luckily it was a bit late today.

3pm: Colin loves to body slam just about everything these days. He will throw a pillow on the floor and "boom" it.

4pm: Alyssa decided we were playing school, but we had to pretend Colin was in Kindergarten and she was in 2nd grade. Colin doesn't seem that excited to be in school.

5pm: Trying on her new flip flops. They were 2 for $5 so she decided to try on one of each.

6pm: I love it when they play nicely together!

The Old Man's 10 on 10

Sunday starts early in my world

Like to start the day by reading lds.org - this story is about the Utah high school basketball team that has many star players going on missions after they graduate.

 

The ward building at sunrise

The ward building around mid-day

Michael Rhynard and I doing our PH duties

Set up for dinner - theme is Breakfast for Dinner

We were talking about preparing the garden for this season.  This is Leah's reaction when we explained what manure is.

Yummy dinner just about over

Clara's self-imposed exile (it did not last long)

All are gone - quiet once again

March 10 (12) on 10: Stephanie (Henry)

So, here are a couple more than ten pictures of our Sunday... and they're all of Henry

9am: naked-bummed Henry trying on shoes. I want him in the tub, so I haven't put a new diaper on him yet, but he has other ideas

10am: finally in the tub, cooking.

 

11am: Watching Beauty and the Beast while I plan the next few weeks of FHE. Check out his snazzy before-church-clothes outfit. I don't want him to get his church clothes dirty (we have church at 1pm) but I want him to be warm, so we usually end up with something like this. The shoes are his addition - he wanted to wear them all morning long, I think because he could put them on himself (refer to the naked bum picture)

noon: family lunch - tuna melts, carrots dipped in hummus and oranges. It's a meal right out of the Sundays of my childhood.

4pm: playing with "light sabers." They are pieces to a play mat that we were just given and Henry has found all sorts of uses for them. Here, his idea was to carry it under his chin, and Dad is giving it a try too.

5pm: no nap on Sunday has resulted in this the last couple of weeks - falling asleep on the short drive to Grandma's

almost 6pm: still asleep, even after moving him to this position with his head dangling off my lap to try to wake him.

 

6pm: making dinosaur noises at the end of dinner with Papa. 

I I have a few 7pm pictures: Clara and Leah's pretty nails that Grandma painted. And Grandma saying goodbye to Henry.

 

 8pm: back home and about to go to bed, after a little video game time with Dad.
