How to waste time when your husband is out of town.

And some random thoughts:

I cut Isaac's hair. This is usually Jeff's department, but the length and stick-uppiness was making me crazy. I stuck him in the high chair and buzzed away while Anna fed him at least two packets of fruit snacks. I was really proud of myself until we went outside the next day and the sun pointed out all the spots I had missed.

I ran a ten-minute mile this week. I haven't done that since the good ol' SUU soccer days. It felt good. Too bad my waist hasn't followed suit. BOO to slowing metabolism.

Wrangling two kids myself at church was...interesting. Thankfully, I have great friends who helped me out during all three blocks since I had to teach primary this week. (Thanks, guys!)Isaac will enter nursery in two weeks. I'd like to say that I can't believe he's already 18 months and my baby is growing up, blah blah blah. But honestly, I can't wait to throw him in there and shut the door behind me. I really miss going to Sunday School and Relief Society. I'll be glad to have a little spiritual nourishment from church meeting again.

It snowed twice in the last week. It's also been in the high 60's a couple of times. Crazy Colorado. I have, surprisingly, enjoyed the snow this go around. Maybe it's the promise that it won't stay long. It's been really beautiful, though. I love a super snowy day followed by a sunny warm day. Melty snow, blue skies, and crisp air make me happy.

Anna has been a little under the weather so the humidifier has been next to her bed the last few nights. She told me yesterday she just loves to have it on so she can keep her hands and feet warm. I asked her what she meant. She led me to her room and demonstrated how she first puts each hand over the steam and then lays back and puts each foot over the steam until they warm up. "I even wake up in the middle of the night and do it, Mom." Silly girl.
