Yesterday I spent a lot of time working on finding fun mazes, word puzzles etc… to create a booklet for the family choir children to have during stake conference. It was a bit bigger of a project than I originally thought it would be. I think I have something that is going to work, but I haven’t had time to go make copies to know for sure! I have to do that today, plus get the word sheets printed out for the congregational hymns. Conference starts tomorrow!!!! And I am still not ready. I’m thinking I procrastinated a bit on this one… :(
So, yesterday. As I said, in much of my free time, I worked on the “quiet activity book,” also went to work, of course, the boys had robotics club, then scouts with troop 707. Bryan had to be there at 5 for patrol leader training. We have Logan Black (a friend of Bryan’s) staying with us for a week as his parents are in hawaii. Yesterday was the first day. Both boys have a big history project due today, that as of getting home from school yesterday (AFTER robotics class) had not yet been started. Logan stayed here and worked on his project while the boys went to scouts. We raced home, dropped off Caleb, picked up Logan, and raced off again to get Logan to his basketball game by 7:30. It was a good game, they were behind (by about 10 points) almost the entire game, but in the last quarter they actually pulled it off and with the help of a few 3 pointers, they pulled ahead and won the game by 3. Bryan and I cheered for Logan, while we worked a little on the history project. (They have to create a visual “family tree” - and it cannot just be printed off.) We took an old dusty artificial ficus tree, one that we have been meaning to haul off to DI for a while now, and turned it into a “family tree.” counting Bryan as generation 1, we went back 5 generations. Boys on blue paper, girls on pink. So at the game, we were using the family search app on my phone and he was writing down all the names. (of course, it ended up being a waste of time, because when we got home and checked the assignment directions, he needed to include death & birth dates and places… and we hadn’t left enough room on the paper for that information, so he had to write them all again.
Anyway, we got home at about 9, then they ate some of the dinner that was still left out, then got started on homework. Logan was basically done, so he ended up just proving to be a distraction as he tried to be “helpful.” Bryan was able to get his science homework done, and he worked on the “tree” project until about 10:10, then I sent him to bed and I worked a while longer at it - attaching all the papers to the tree. He has a few more things he needs to write out this morning, plus some math to do…
Today will consist of work until 1, then getting bryan packed for Klondike (i really wish I had insisted that he pack when Caleb did) and getting the boys off by 3:45. I have an acupuncture appt at 4:30, still need to squeeze in getting all the copies made, and I really should run and buy some wool socks for the boys campout. Caleb could really use new boots too, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to fit it all in.
Somehow I need to figure out how to take some deep breaths and calm myself down or I will never survive this day!
