Yesterday I woke up with a daunting to-do list.
- Organize Meal Plan for Next Week
- Grocery Shop
- Hygiene Kits for Cate's YW Project
- Drop off Birthday gifts for Primary kids
- Send email for church
- Organize Activities for Primary kids
- Weed/Hack side yard
- Pay bills
- Replace Costco Card
- William's talk
- Mop Floors
- Michael's planner
- Organize garage
- Curb/street weeding
- Move dirt pile on gravel
- Fill up car
- Wash car
- Help John with Non-profit
- John hunting
I mean...not a TON of things, but just enough that I knew it was going to be a busy day. I got to work, one thing at a time. I paid the bills, went for a run, then worked on the yard with John. It was so good to get dirt under my finger nails. We had blue skies for the first time in ten days and a healthy air quality. It was simply glorious to breathe deeply and enjoy the fall morning outside. I have to hand it to the kids they were such troopers doing yard work, I imagine it was probably a nice break after a week of School zooms!
This video of Matthew weeding cracks me up!
William and I were also able to get his talk written and recorded for Primary. This was a major accomplishment. He did so well. He wrote about 75 percent of the talk, I mostly just did editing and I did plant the whole Lion King idea. I feel like I need to clarify that because once we got to reading the talk, he got a little nervous (since he is just learning to read), so you get to awkward whispering for the first page or so!
He is just so sweet, and I love his Lion King obsession right now.
I slowly checked things off my list from there. Miraculously, we got everything done! By seven, we were dishing up pizza and tuning into the live-action Mulan. It felt so wonderful to relax after such a busy and productive day together.
