Nintendo Switch Family Activity

 We have been having some fun today. We went to Target and bought Mario Cart to play on the Nintendo Switch. This was a great idea. We played a few races against each other. Victoria enjoys trading players with whoever will let her. Pretty much me. So I had to let the competitive side of me go for a bit.

Opportunity to serve

 So we had the opportunity to serve today. This is rare because of Covid. Or just because we don't look hard enough. Either way. We had the opportunity to serve the members of our ward/stake by cleaning the building after one of our limited Sacrament meetings. Tammy had a zoom to be on with her family, so it was only going to be the kids and I. Isabella's first request when I told her we were going was "can we leave Hunter behind". I told her he would be able to help and it would be easier if he was with us rather than disrupting Mom's zoom. On the way to the church Victoria asked why we are cleaning the church. I told her so we could serve the members of our Ward. She then added that Jesus likes when we help others. Yes he does. I was amazed that none of the kids complained about going to help so I said so. I guess I missed Victoria's first point because she said "I was complaining when I asked why we were going to clean". Hmm. Hunter by the way was helpful. Tori and him made a great team.

New Years Resolutions

 I decided to make some New Year's resolutions. I don't know how well I will keep them, but one of them is to journal every day. I have had a lot of fun reading the stories about my oldest 2 children and know the younger 2 will be just as fun. 

Last year was a wild year for sure. Hopefully when I read this post years from now it will be a distant memory.  Currently there is a pandemic. There a mask mandates in almost every state and things to do are limited. 

Here is to a new year and new resolutions.
