D and C
In the church people think scripture when they hear this, the nurses called it a dusting and cleaning, but I found out for myself that this is a procedure known as dilation and curettage. Last March I had my second miscarriage. I was not as lucky as I was with the first one where everything took care of itself. No, this time I would not stop bleeding and after 4 months of it, I finally sought out a doctor and found out I would need to have a d and c. I was not happy and very stressed through it all but luckily I am well now and am no longer bleeding. Hooray!
What Pen Wars Taught My 4 yr old
Needless to say it's been a little tough to get her to stop coloring on herself. She had always done it before but now she went all out!

Pen Wars
In the mythical realm of Naun their were mighty contentions among the Gods. To settle their differences they sent each of their finest warriors to battle for peace.
Eli the Enigmatical was sent by Bast the Cat Goddess. Eli became her finest warrior when fighting off a sphinx that was terrorizing the local villages.
Kyren the Courageous was sent by Vila the Wind Goddess. Kyren was always her finest warrior since birth, blowing down anyone in her path.
Jacob the Just was sent by Ares the God of War. While he is the finest warrior and swiftest in his judgements, Jacob is also the most fair.
Brooke the Brave was sent by Isis the Rainbow Goddess. Brooke is the newest and youngest of the warriors but has a colorful personality that no one can equal.
Battle ensued for many days. These warriors fought valiantly and with strength beyond that of a mere mortal.
When all was said and done these warriors were too good and no one could rise above the rest and so a truce was called.
And the land of Naun is peaceful once again.

Pioneer Day
Here in Mesa they don't really celebrate Pioneer day. So I have taken it upon myself to do something every year for my kids. We were supposed to get together with some other friends and do food, crafts, and games, I was in charge of the food part. My friend unfortunately had to back out at the last minute so we only ended up doing the food part.
First I had everyone shake some cream to make our butter.
While they did that I made wheat biscuits, beef jerky and corn on the cob.
While the kids ate I told them about the pioneers, who they were, why they moved, and why we celebrate them. While it was done on a lot smaller scale this year we still took some time out of the day to remember them.

Brooke's Party
Kyren wanted to plan Brooke's party and it was less work for me so why not. She planned a "Princess Party." All of the guests showed up dressed as princesses.
Then they had to get ready for the ball so they had their nails and make-up done. During this time our "servants" served popcorn and drinks while being pampered. Those waiting for their turn watched Princess and the Frog.
After they were all ready for the ball they walked down the red carpet as each princess was announced and cheered upon arrival.
A good game a Freeze dance was played at the ball. They were a little shy to get into the dancing so i had to dance along. Why is it that I was so out of breath and they weren't even panting?
After freeze dance we learned that Cinderella lost her slipper and we had to go on a scavenger hunt around the house trying to find it.
Cake and Ice cream followed and we didn't have any time left over, a perfect party in my opinion.
