The kids didn't have school today. The two older girls did their chores as fast as they could and headed to Grandma Leavitt's house to play with cousins. Isaac was content playing outside or watching cartoons but the three younger had a rough day. Which in turn makes my day a rough day. I didn't get much done till about 1 p.m. Derek came home and entertained them for quite a while. He and Isaac had a water fight. Isaac is still learning not to be a poor sport.

It was also combined FHE with the leavitt fam. We were on dessert and made cupcakes. Our lesson was on being thankful for all we have.

I helped Veronica start her own blog. What an amazing girl! Her posts make me laugh!

I also got a training program from my nutritionist Marni. I am going to train for a 10k. Being over 200 pounds, we will see how that goes.

Today was a good day. The kids did great before church. Derek and I told the kids that if they faught with one of their siblings they would have to give the kid they were fighting with 10 pieces of candy, and we got to choose which pieces were given. This worked so well. This was the only time I ever wished my kids to always have a bucket of candy!

Church was busy and went by very fast. Being the Secretary and getting ready for the Primary Program equals a lot of tasks. I did have time to notice that Tori does great going to class now. Early childhood is giving her the structure she needs. Which gives me a big smile!

Derek, Issabell,Isaac and Tori went down to Overton to check on the dogs and goats at the farm. He just called to report that Snowball is missing and they are fixing the hole she made then will go look for her. This happens way too much!

Yes, I am going to be devoted to writing the little everyday things that happen in our house.
