Today, we took a break from the ordinary and had four boys over for the entire day. It was a lot of fun and I'm happy to say my friend is feeling better now that she had the whole day to sleep. The boys ages were 10, 5, 2 and 1. Olivia did a lot of mothering with the younger two. So no Mom School today, and I really let the kids do whatever they wanted. Oh! Our furnace is fixed now. Yeah. Warmth!

Substitute on the organ for the first time in sacrament in two weeks).

Alex: Scriptures, word of the day, went to work, practiced the Greek alphabet, listened to The Iliad by Homer and fixed the garbage disposal. He's such a good and talented hubby.
