Let's begin!
Friday afternoon Matt and I were like, "What do we want to do as a family, since you (Matt) are going to be gone all weekend for a MBA class?"
Then we said, "Let's look into the new Idaho Aquarium!"
And we were like, "That's an awesome idea. Because 1) all of our boys love the ocean, and 2) they are kinda under with a cold so being inside is probably better than being outside."
It was a cool little place! And for our ocean loving family it was perfect. They are going to be adding lots onto it in the future, but the stuff they have now is good. Lots of hand's on stuff--like SHARKS and STING RAYS!
Friday night Matt and I had a movie-night-in. Double feature. Pretty awesome. "Warrior" and "50/50."
............................
On Saturday, around 11:30, we got everyone in the van (Matt in his 4runner) to go to Matt's parents home. They offered to take the boys so that Matt and I could go on a date (Matt's class was cut early. Hooray!). On our way we got stuck in traffic. "Traffic in Boise?" Um, yeah. A girl in the turn lane, that I was right behind, had her little sub totally break down.
I didn't know this at first, so I honked. She waved her hands. I finally got out of the van and went to ask her what was wrong. "SUV won't start, probably out of gas. Have no money, have no contacts." I told her to 1) put her hazard lights on, then 2) put the car in neutral and I'll push her down the hill out off of the high traffic road.
So I did. Then once down the hill Matt and I both pushed her into a neighborhood, where she got help from some people in the area.
We then dropped off our boys to their grandparents, and went on our date.
The boys had a lot of fun. And were tired out! Look at 'em, all exhausted. Feel asleep in the van on the way home, and stayed asleep once on the couch.

Sunday came.
I got the boys and myself ready for church, and we made it there an hour late. Oops.
Actually, Matt isn't going to be able to make it to church ANY Sunday this month. Between ARMY National Guard and this MBA class, all his February weekends are full. Oh well... so missing the first hour is mostly likely going to be happening every Sunday. Sorry.
I'm the CTR 4's teacher, meaning I teach the 4 year olds, and it was kind of crazy. I have 6 little ones, that always come, and all love to try to sit in my lap. Get's a little emotional at times.
Also, Eil and Titus are in Nursery and I'm the only parent there. I must answer to their needs--which Eli needed me twice during lesson hour. Not too bad, since the Primary President helped me out, but still a little crazy.
We got home, put Titus down for a nap, and started cooking. Veggie soup and carrot cake.
Matt came home, got all the stuff ready, got the boys ready, then off to Tim and Kara's for the Super Bowl. Family, food, fun! Who could ask for more?
