Primary elections held in North Lawrence Schools – no school for all kids – even Dwyane. They loved it. Allowed for more leisurely than normal morning routine, good because kids up late last night due to board meeting. Tomorrow will be hard because they’ll want to play some more.

Back to work / school / daycare, no one wanted to go. Tired, didn’t sleep last night. Dillan’s ballgame canceled because of rain; pictures, first game, jamboree on Saturday – we hope! Went to C3 board meeting, took all the kids, what an experience, they were well behaved I guess.

Church; coffee, donuts, wrapped up The Story; Family Sunday, I love our kids! Sunny day, ground still wet; played catch with Dillan, set up batting stand to practice batting, he’s doing pretty good. Grilled salmon, ate on deck, watched a storm roll in, forced inside, nice memory.

Friday! Normal day. I’m tired, kids tired too. Stopped by Dollar General and bought them some M&Ms for a treat – just because. Everyone stuck inside due to rain. Pizza! Tomorrow’s Baseball Jamboree canceled because of rain – looks like a full day of foster training. Easy bedtime!

Lightening hit Herald Times building putting out power, worked from home almost all day. Still storming, raining out. Kids bored, acted up a little, they’re good kids though. Dillan, Ashley had meltdown over dessert, it was hilarious, we just had to tease them, it was mean of us.

Ashley was flower girl for Q & U wedding at school; she wore her flower dress, had basket of flowers. She got a little jealous of her classmates who got “married.” Nice day, everybody played outside. Cut grass, kids ran like crazy chasing mower. Storms tonight. Felt sick all day.

Church, Jr Church, Dwyane made papier-mâché flowers, looked nice, on table. Played outside! Watched Hook after supper. Mistake! Little kids had trouble getting to bed. Scared to death Cap’t. Hook going to get them. Cried, hid under covers, had hard time convincing them it’s okay.
