Other Happenings

We also had a primary activity on Friday the 20th (first official day of Summer). It was a Family History Day. We had a storytime with Sister Price. She told us some family stories and told us how learning about our ancestors can be fun and interesting. She explained that we can make sure their temple work is done to keep that family chain connected. We love our temples! The kids then got to make their own family tree by filling in their names and adding red pom-poms for each person (like apples). It was a fun little craft. The weather was still decent so we ended with some traditional outside games like red rover and freeze tag. The kids loved that part! Just as the first few raindrops began to spill down we handed out popsicles and sent the kids home with a recipe book filled with favorite family recipes we had collected from their parents. It was a pretty easy activity but a fun one for the kids.

My calendar emptied out after that-literally. It's kind of neat to see blank white squares again. Well, I couldn't have it easy for too long...

Monday we had quite the downpour. Water started puddling in my closet and under the wall into the office. It seems there was a hole in the outside wall (of course-right?). So for the last two days I've been at the shopvac every time it rains and the dehumidifier is going nonstop. It smells terrible in my room!
It has made me realize, however, that one: I have a lot of shoes and clothes, and two: I need to dejunk once again. I have been going through a lot of stuff. I have also mended many of my sewing jobs. So, I guess there is a silver lining-I am getting a lot done. Oh and my landlord has been AWESOME with helping us get everything fixed.

Okay, I think my blog is officially Up To Date!
