Good Morning!

Today has started early. I had to get Kateri to work at 5am. She’s not driving until Clay gets back because she put oil in the 4-runner and forgot to put the cap back on. YIKES! It’s a mess, but Dad will help. Mariah has to be at a friend’s house by 8am to catch a ride up to the school for try outs today. Thanks goodness for the ride! It’ makes my day a little easier. I have to admit that it was nice to get up really early again. Since summer started, I’ve been getting up closer to 7 and there’s just something that you miss out on by then. Yesterday was a good day. We had some running around with getting Mariah to volleyball try outs. But we took advantage of free sundae coupons and killed the time that way. :-) Gabi and Luke-Xavier were funny yesterday. Lex crawled too quickly across my bed and hit his head on the wall. I promptly went to him and kissed his head. Gabi watched the whole thing, climbed up on my bed and bashed her head into the wall, looking for kisses. Sibling rivalry at it’s best! It was also a day that I found out that our storage issue is even graver than I had previously thought. Not only do the sleeping bags go in the 4-runner, but apparently the used motor oil goes in the gas can! I found this out the hard way when mowing the lawn. Silly me! I figured it was safe to fill the lawn mower from the gas can. Not so! Another thing that Clay will have to deal with when he returns. Luckily a neighbor was kind enough to let me borrow their lawn mower to finish up. Well, off to start the day. Hope it’s great for each of you~
