The Worst Blogger Ever

Well, it's official.  I am the worst blogger ever!  I got busy with housework, homeschool, travel, piano lessons, organ practice, scouts, being a wife, and just breathing.  Life sometimes get's busy so I just let everything go.  But, I resolve to do better.  Here's a quick list of happenings in the land of the Ericksons:

  • School is winding down.  It officially ends next week and we are soooo ready.  The twins did their CRT's and I've just got to do some reading tests with Doc and Graci and then we are done!
  • I took on the fundraiser for our cub scouts.  We are selling cub scout cookies.  The sign ups are in and now I've got to make enough dough for 1284 cookies!  I think next year the boys should come up with the fundraiser!
  • We traveled to Idaho for a dear family member's funeral.  It was nice and peaceful to be with family and honor such a lovely woman.
  • We are planning a trip to Bear Lake for Memorial Day.  My kids are so excited that they actually got out the suitcases and packed a month ago.
  • Much to my astonishment I am actually learning how to play the organ.  I was called to be the ward organist having never even sat at one.  I honestly thought that I wouldn't be able to learn it, but it's coming along.  My ward is very patient.  I've learned to play it as quietly as possible and pray that the congregation sings really loud.
There's been a lot more going on than that, but those are the highlights.  So, I will be a better blogger.  I think I'll take the weekend off and post again Monday.  Maybe I'll post a recipe for cub scout cookies!
