Super Busy Saturday

A sweet story from this week is from Underfoot. The boys were getting ready for bed and taking their bath. Underfoot and K2 were playing really well together. Underfoot looked up at me and said, “K2 is my best friend.” It touched my heart. They played and laughed together. They can get each other to laugh better than anyone else.

We went to Mount Lemmon on Tuesday night to check out Camp Zion.
In October our ward has the opportunity to use the camp ground. I wanted to see what the facilities are like. We went with Grandpa and Grandma Massey and had supper. The air was crisp and cool in comparison to the 100 degrees in our neighborhood. The sunset was beautiful, and it felt like fall for a few minutes. I miss the fall colors and change of seasons.
It was a late evening, but we enjoyed being together.

Joy School was at our house this week. Underfoot was THRILLED! He woke up on the morning of Joy School by himself with no encouragement. He opened the door and welcomed everyone. He really didn’t have a sense of time so he would ask if it was time for Joy School about every 5 minutes. We learned about taking care of the earth by not littering and caring for our natural resources. We also learned about gardens and made bread. We went through all the steps from grinding the grains to baking it in the oven. I was very nervous, but all went well. We look forward to having Joy School in our home again.

K2 has not slept super well this week. He is getting a molar and will stay up throughout the night. He is starting to laugh more and more. He likes to play cars, go down the slide, be outside, and wrestle with Underfoot. He also likes to throw things. He doesn’t yet understand about how he can hurt others that way. L4 went with the 11 year old scouts to an overnighter on Friday. They were participating in a council clean-up at the scout camp. Since so many fathers went up, he came home late on Friday night and slept in his own bed.

Saturday was SUPER busy. We were involved with our HOA yard sale by putting out and picking up the signs, a parent meeting for t-ball for Underfoot, and Bountiful Baskets distribution. We also went and looked at a 1914 Model T Roadster. In the evening was a community fair in a neighboring community and the Relief Society broadcast. L4 also got in the mail his Arduino system and put it together. He is very excited about it. We fell into bed exhausted.
