 Today we started the day off by going out to work. Alden, Benson and Evan weeded. Maebryn vacuumed the van, Roslyn trimmed the roses and I trimmed the bushes in front so they don't go over onto the sidewalk. It was getting where you had to walk through the jungle to get to the front porch but now you can walk through without having anything touch you. I then had a violin lesson come. After that I had an hour or so where I made a couple of phone calls then worked for just a bit in the school room and in the guest room. I think we are getting close to having those rooms done but at the same times there is still so much to go through in all of the rooms. In the later afternoon I tutored Gavino in math and then gave Calvin his lesson. For dinner I gave everyone an assignment and they all worked on something for dinner. Alden and Calvin made frittatas, Benson and Evan salsa, and the girls a dessert. We also watched a little show from BYU TV while I worked on their picture books. I didn't get far but hopefully tomorrow I can really make some progress. Overall it was a good day...it seemed like I did a lot of little pieces of things but hopefully tomorrow I can finish off a number of the pieces.

 Seminary went well. It is hard to get up as I am not yet into the routine, but I can tell I am getting there. After seminary I came home to check on the kids, they were all still in bed except Maebryn who was awake when I left. I was amazed that she hadn't woken anyone up. Everyone else..Evan, Benson and Roslyn were still a little under the weather so we had them stay home and I took Alden, Calvin and Maebryn to school. We started learning about Puerto Rico today which made for a nice day. The first day of a country is always really nice as it's already planned out and everyone knows what to expect. Things are really going smoothly at work. Came home and did the Spencer's lessons. Then I warmed up some frozen pizza's, snuggled Maebryn and Roslyn as I read to them, then went up and read "The Other Side of the Mountain" to Benson and Evan and am now in bed writing this and it's only 8:30.  Miracle of today is just it all, miracle that school is going well, ...

 I cooked up some eggs and hashbrowns and then left for the open house at the school. Alden and Calvin came on their own just a little bit after I did. Michael took Benson and Evan to basketball and took Roslyn and Maebryn along with them as I was going to be gone all day.  The open house seemed to go well. There were probably only a few new people looking into the school as a new school for them for the year but there was good flow of people and everything looked great. I finished up at the open house around 3pm. Once home we were going to have art with Sister Taber but she wasn't feeling well so we just had a nice low key evening at home. Which worked out well as Michael and everyone that was at basketball didn't get home until around 4pm. Both boys got metals for how they played today. It was a nice day. Michael and I ended it by watching a couple episodes of psyche.

 This was another very relaxing day. We had break the fast which we took the potato salad that Calvin made last night for dinner. I haven't been able to get a hold of Frances, she says that she started working, so I didn't have anyone to pick up. I simply went to church taught my class and played the piano in Primary. At home I wrote in all the kids journals, got their sheets printed off, went for a walk and had time to relax. Miracle of the day was the simplicity of it all. Having time to do the girls hair, talk to Michael about the practice and have a nice clean house that we had cleaned up well the night before.
