The summer has begun...and so far it has been terrific! The girls and I came up with a fun system that is going to help us all get our work done and have a blast at the same time. Each time the girls do a chore or read a chapter in a book, they get a Chore Buck or Reading Buck. Then they get to spend it in our Store which I've stocked with all kinds of little goodies. I can't believe how it motivated them, but I shouldn't have been so surprised since it was their idea mostly. We did a big housecleaning and the girls have read more than I think they did all school year. Plus, it was FUN!
Today, the kids and Scott and Blackberry have been in Holden helping Mom with a big backyard fence rennovation. I would have gone too, but I need to be in Primary tomorrow. I'll join them as soon as church is out. I'm going up to pick up Scott and Shaylie, but Taylor is staying up for a few days to visit Grandma, then my dad is going to pick her up on his way down to visit this weekend.
I've just been enjoying a relaxing day at home...all by myself. I was able to mop the floor and get some stuff done. It was especially weird not having the puppy around. I better enjoy it while it lasts. :-)
