 We finished painting and putting mortar on the slide so I think it is basically all done which is nice. The kids also finished painting the swings on the hill. Things are really coming together in our yard. I then got ready and went to meet the teacher at the school. I took a bunch of little odds and ends things that I had gathered to donate to the school. Meet the teacher was enjoyable as I just got to visit with all of the families of my students throughout the evening. Their was a fairly steady stream of people so I really only sat down for a moment or two so the time went by very quickly. Lots of good kids and a few that might be a bit challenging but it will be a good year. I'm looking forward to the year ahead.

 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.
