I decided to blog instead

Since R is no longer in seminary till next yr, dh and I aren't having to get up early for now. However, this has become a problem since, instead of blogging I shower, I then have company as I'm typing my thoughts down. So I told dh last night that I would shower later. I needed some time on my own to type. I certainly hope this works.

Yesterday R was told by dh to go through all the books and check for any obvious church books that the library wouldn't take. I'm guessing that that means we get to keep them. So yesterday afternoon R and I went through most of the books and found about 10 book items that would probably not be accepted. He's still left with a ton of books. The scouts will be taking to the library tonight as their activity for scout night. I'm so proud of how well he's done on this project. But it will be nice to have my table cleared once again lol.

Today we'll be staying at home doing school work. No plans for the car. I told R and N last night that starting today, I want them to start reading an article or story out of the Ensign, New Era, or Friend magazine and tell me about the article/story. "But why mom"? My answer, "Because I want you to really understand the gospel and not just be mouthing it." We'll see how things go.

This evening we have 2 church activities that R and N are involved in. R finishing up his Eagle project, and N finishing up her FIG(Faith in God) booklet and attending her last Recognition night. Since she'll be 12 end of Aug, she'll then be in young women's. She's a bit nervous, but I think once she gets to know the girls, she'll do well.

So tonight, dh and I's time will be split between kids. He'll be with ds, and I'll be with dd. Kind of glad the rest of the day is relaxing. When it's actual school time for the ps system, Tues can be pretty hectic. The kids have art and gym, plus picking up dad and showering. So the day gets pretty busy. Thankfully we have the summer to rest from it.
