Our Week in Review

Hello from the Dorius'!!

 

Things here have been crazy!

Jes has been working crazy long hours

(I think in hopes of making Christmas not so tight)

Monday he worked 5am-3pm at his regular job.

Then he worked on a side job from 4pm-10pm.

He was in bed by 12:30am.

Tuesday he worked 5 am-3pm at his regular job.

He then drove to Park City and worked at the Mansion,

not getting home until just before 1 am.

Wednesday he worked from 4am-3pm - regular job.

He took his big ladder over and hung "Grandma Carolyn's" Christmas lights on her house.

Then went to his side job again, getting home just after 10:30pm.

Believe it or not today he slept in!

*gasp*

He didn't leave for work until almost 6 am!

*chuckle*

*sigh*

He didn't get home from his regular work though until 5 pm.

He ran back over to "grandma's" to add an extension cord and get them lights glowin...

He actually ATE DINNER WITH US...

and then headed back to his side job in American Fork.

 

Emmalee has been working crazy long hours as well!

She has Concert Choir at school, and then are doing a "Spirit of Christmas" program.

She has had rehearsals almost everyday for the past 6 school days.

(It is not just the choir, but it is the whole fine arts program together!)

(so it's BIG)

She has gone to school at 8:30am.

She gets out a 3:15pm and stays at the school working on her homework as best she can because rehearsals start at 4:00pm.

She is suppose to be done by 9pm... but her best friend is the President of the Concert Choir, and multiple times she and her friend have had to stay late to clean up the classrooms that the students wait in until it's their time on stage.

It has been A LOT of work for her.

After so many days, she crashed yesterday and called in an "Honor Roll Hookie Day".

(if the kids are on the honor roll they earn 1 Hookie Day a Semester - a free day)

We ran errands together, but she spent most of the day desperately finishing the homework that has been piling up so she won't mess up her honor roll status.

(some day off eh? LOL)

Performances started tonight and so she will be back at the school from 5pm-9pm today, tomorrow and monday, with another program on Saturday from 2-4!

 

The boys and I have done some Christmas crafts and kept up on the household stuff, homework stuff, & reading, playing games & guiltily being kinda lazy comparatively!

During dinner tonight, when we did our "Best Part/Worst Part of the Day" - without Emma because she had just left for her performance - but Caleb said his best part about today was that

"I gots to see my whole family all at the same time for a few minutes today"

*sniff*

He is such a sweet boy.

It has been rough!

The boys have been in bed everytime Em and Jes have come home for days!

:(

I can't wait for NEXT TUESDAY!!

Oh wait!

That's Young Men/Young Women's Night.

*sigh*

Ok.

I can't wait for next WEDNESDAY

LOL

 

It's the most wonderful time of the year.......
