Spring (?) Break

Well, it's almost over. Tomorrow Jill goes back to school.

Quite honestly, I've enjoyed having her home (surprise!) Jill and Peirce have got along famously and have had a lot of fun - and that has made all the difference. For FHE last week Jill gave the lesson. She gave a report on her favorite talk from Conference and shared something she has resolved to do. She said her favorite talk was the one on prayer and also the one on talking nicely (both from Saturday morning) and she had a goal to talk nicer to Peirce. I think that made all the difference this week. It is so wonderful to see your kids get along so well! It seems that Jill can make all the difference there.

The weather for Spring Break sure hasn't been great. We only had two days without snow. Today there isn't any snow - but it has been raining. That has been okay though. The kids found some sidewalk chalk and spent quite a lot of time outside playing with that, jumping on the trampoline, and playing with some kids in the neighborhood. They also found some bird seed in the garage and spent quite a lot of time tryint to entice birds to our yard. They were very patient in trying to get this to happen!! I didn't want to burst their bubble and let them know the birds would most likely not come anywhere close to our yard with them sitting there - but hey, who wants to spoil a quiet afternoon in the house alone? Not me!





We're supposed to get some more snow tomorrow -and then after that it'll be warm temperatures all week long. Hopefully that will be the real beginning of Spring. I'm sure ready for it!!

Other big news - we've almost made it through the 30 days of Allen not being able to drive. This week he can get his lisence back. We almost have all the fines paid too. Yea!!!
