Days for work and play
I spent a few hours at the park with Mckay and Saydi today. We played several games of checkers on the picnic tables. We shared a carmel and some yummy lunch things. Then waited until we had the park to ourselves and played fox and geese by making paths to follow in the shredded bark. We took turns being the gox and geese and roasting eachother for dinner. Saydi and Mckay invited me to dinner at the Manchala. They cooked fish and made orange manchala pickle icecream. Our imaginations ran wild. We raced eachother from tree to tree. The kids took turns spinning in the spinning bowl. Greg came along on his bike. He was making a trip to home depot to get wire and such for the row covers we are setting up in the garden. Earlier I spent some time serving at the Jordan River temple. It was very busy. On the way home I bought some straw to compost our garden. Chandler spent most of the day playing badmitton with his friends. We finally headed home from the park when Mckay needed a bathroom break. We got home and Greg set up the garden covers while I vaccuumed the car from the straw bales and then I went shopping for food and marshmellows. We roasted the marshmellows over the stove burners in the kitchen.

I found your blog! You did send the link to my old email address... :) it was fun talking with you last night. Thanks for calling.

So Greg let you roast marshmallows huh? ;) I remember playing fox and geese in the leaves when we were kids too with you and I loved it. I'm so glad you still have the same love and energy and creativity to offer those kids that you did with us. You're an awesome mom, Mom!

yay! thanks for reading. The marshmellow thing is just me and the kids. Greg says his opinion but we live with it. I love sharing treats with the kids.
