Another Thursday

Thursday's are nuts around here and today was no exception. Scholar school is on Tuesday's now and so that should help!

After dinner Alex and the three older kids left for Boise where they will spend the night and beat the snow storm. Tomorrow the kids have a home schooling day on the hill where they will learn about the legislative process at the capital.
