The month of March

So, March is almost over. I’m not too excited about it because the heat is just around the corner. March has been a very nice and friendly month except for the days during spring break when it got a little warm.

I decided I would paint the kitchen during spring break. Surely with five days, I would be able to complete the job. Ha, ha the joke was on me--didn’t happen Now it could be that on that Tuesday I spent the whole day reading a book and on Friday I spent a chunk of the day at IKEA with Stephen, Lily and April, but still. . . So all this past week I have been working after school to get most of it done because yesterday I had a Mother/Daughter Activity here. The girls and their moms brought their favorite dish to share and then they made menus for a week’s worth of cooking. I like doing Activity Day very much. Whatever we do the girls think is fun and there is hardly any drama at all.

Thursday night we went to the Poston Jr High choir concert at Mountain View. Sam got the big solo. He did a great job!! What a wonderful voice he has. Sam had a successful quarter at school also.

Of course, Gary is busy working on taxes. April 15th is not too far away. I don’t think that is any consolation to him because he still has a whole lot to do. But, baseball season will soon be here.

Stephen loves teaching Sunday School in his ward. I have enjoyed having him work at Lowe’s as I have gotten some good deals on my home remodeling projects.

Chris came to Sam’s concert and then borrowed my car so he could haul around some sound equipment for a wedding. So, very reluctantly, he had to let me use his car. I don’t know what it is about guys and standard transmissions, but I didn’t enjoy it very much. Too much shifting and my left leg isn’t used to driving with a clutch.

At school, we are trying to get the kids ready for all their standardized testing. It isn’t really very much fun for either me or the kids, but only two more months in school. Starting in August, Sam will be attending Mountain View as the first 9th grade class there. Don’t even get me started on that. I wish that he would spend his 9th grade year at Poston.

We are all glad that General Conference is this week. Love to go to church at home!
