After...
No wonder I am exhausted this evening!
Emily came home with this award today...
Emily said she was the first to get this award in her class. I wonder if her teacher made up the award with Emily in mind because her teacher has mentioned to me several times how considerate Emily is of her classmates and she is always encouraging them and helping them. Today Emily said she got done her math work, so she helped one of her good friends. "Dear Sweet Emily" (Matt's nickname for Emily) is ringing true here!
My Mom brought over dinner this evening from our local pizza place. Wednesday is my long day at home since Matt has church meetings in the evening. It's always nice to have something to look forward to on these days. I just wish the kids weren't so wound up when my Mom leaves and they are supposed to be getting ready for bed. I am not at my best on these evenings. And I wasn't in a good mood before reading scriptures (although Eleanor made me smile when I told her to put her butt in her chair and she said, "but my butt wants to keep moving!"), but Zoe invited the spirit when she suggested we sing "If the Savior Stood Beside Me" before we read. She had the words in front of her so I told her to go ahead and sing, which she did and Emily sang what she knew with her. It brought tears to my eyes and warmed my heart. I am thankful to have a daughter who is such a great example when it comes to living the gospel.

It sounds like it was a long day! The kitchen wall looks so great. That will be nice to see in the morning!
Good job Emily and Zoe - you are sweethearts.
That is so sweet. It's very humbling when my kids are the example for me instead of the other way around!
I loved Eleanor's comment about her butt wanting to keep moving! How funny! That could be Noah and McKaylie on most days!
Wow, the walls look great!
I love that song, it has such a beatiful message.
