Laura Murdoch mentioned that she keeps her journal on her blog and it's encouraged me to write a little more. Today was a busy day. I went shopping at Costco and Harmon's after taking Ian to preschool. He is so funny. He was in a pretty good mood before going to preschool and talked about going. When we got there though, he wouldn't go in. I warned him that once we left I would not take him back to preschool. (By the way, I'm listening to the pre-race meeting for the Antelope Island duathlon so if my grammar is off, that's why). I backed out of the driveway, and then Ian said, "I have an idea! I can go to preschool and then you can pick me up and we can go shopping then. Isn't that a good idea? I'm so glad that I thought of it." Ian is really the type that wants to make his own decision.

I was late getting home from shopping, so Ian ate a piece of bread with sprinkles on it (Scott gets to eat treats if I'm ever not home). Tanner was cute shopping with me. I would ask him if we should get something, and he would usually nod "Yes."

Heidi came home from school. I tried to feed the kids lunch (Ian said he wasn't hungry) and then we went to gymnastics. I visited with Lisa Clayton and Laura Murdoch and wrote a little to Bonnie. I'm really trying to write her more just to keep her up with things happening in the extended family.

Katie came home with us and then I quickly cleaned in preparing for scouts. Today for scouts we dipped strawberries in chocolate, practiced a cheer, practiced a skit, made a poster showing good citizenship, wrote down jobs to do at home, and made airplanes out of a straw. I was really tired after scouts. I didn't sleep very well last night and woke up almost on the hour for some reason. I sleepily thought it might be because I wasn't well hydrated (left over thoughts from Dave Harward's clinic). I made a garlic chicken stir-fry with brown and white rice and we also had fresh lemonade, swiss chard, and broccoli.

I then went to Julia Ross's house to pick up my assignment for the preparedness fair that is happening Saturday. After I came home we had scriptures and put the kids to bed.

I talked to my mom, Jenny Flinders, and Grandma Thuet today. GG really sounds good. She is keeping herself busy serving others. We are going down in 2 weeks for a triathlon.

Oh, today Heidi was discussing what a joke was with Ian. Her example was, "Why did the orange stop in the middle of the road?" "Because he ran out of juice."
