April 22, 2009 (Wednesday): Hustle

Today, Alex spent the morning with the kids while I was at the temple. Then we went out of town to Olivia's scholar class. We raced back home to have our monthly women's book club. This month it was at my house. (Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare) Then we went back to get Olivia. Then we came home in the nick of time for scouts. Today they made bird houses and it was extra long. It went from 3-6! Whew! Then the kids and I ate dinner while we watched last nights taped copy of American Idol. Alex came home just in time and off I went to Young Women's. They boys came up a little while later and set up for the scout banquet tomorrow. Like I say every Wednesday-what a ride Wednesdays are for our family!!!
