Today was a very great day. I was very productive at work, and Lily swam in the morning. Lily was having a little harder of a day emotionally after swim, but then things turned around and she took the kids swimming, bought groceries and worked with the kids. The kids played SO well together today, including Ammon getting a very cute haircut.
For dinner, Lily bought more ingredients for tin foil dinners (we were so inspired by the tin foil dinners at the Baker’s house last night!). The tin foil dinners turned out delicious and then Lily cleaned while I worked on a book project with the kids. Lydia came up with the idea that each of us would write 5 stories, and then each person would have a chance to illustrate a book from each other family member. My plan is to laminate them all and bind them all together in one summer story compendium. Lily wanted to join, but prioritized letting me join while she cleaned up dinner since I was going to leave to New York the next day and promised the kids I’d do their book project with them. That was so kind of her. After that Jordan and Tyler from the Community of Christ came over and we studied the chapters on Zion and Ordinances together. I love them and felt both spiritually and socially fed. Afterwards, I tied Lily in Wingspan (which I was happy about since she usually beats me), and then we went to bed since I was going to wake up at 3:45. Today was a great day!!
