Well here we are again at the end of another fun filled week. For the most part it was pretty normal but here are a few of the highlights.
On Monday night we had a good FHE discussion about the Stone Family Mission Plan. We titled it "Come and see". This is patterned after the response of the Saviour in John 1:39 and the idea that all we can really do to be successfull missionaries is extend invitations for people to partake of the Gospel. We then set goals to be examples of Christ by not fighting when outside of our house, to extend at least 2 invitations for others to participate in church activities or family activities each month and to be sure to hold family scripture study and prayer each day. It has been going great so far. We will far exceed the two invitations as we have 7 little people who are excited about inviting friends to come to church. It is great to witness such pure faith.
Tuesday was scouts and young women. Mylinda took her final test for her associates degree that afternoon and the kids went with dad to the school for Michael to finish his testing from last week. The kids had a great time on the playground and checking out a huge sun dial that is on the school grounds - big enough to see from space even.
Wednesday we had a pretty regular day full of projects around the house and Mylinda had a Dr. appointment so dad was home with the kids for a while. It was pretty warm so the kids got to spend some time outside. We also then prepped the house for a carpet cleaning appointment on Thursday - all of the main floor and second floor rooms were getting cleaned.
Thursday, Mike spent the morning with the little fellas and the carpet cleaner while Mylinda took the home schoolers to school and Allison to the Dr. She found out that she had strep throat and is now on antibiodics for that. Once they got home, Mylinda and Mike went shopping for the groceries and some other fun items at local stores. Then it was home for Michael to go to basketball and the girls to dance.
Friday was a busy day of putting the house back together after the carpet cleaning and working on projects around the house. We also went to the library with the home schoolers. Mylinda and Mike went on a fun date to enjoy hotwings and some shopping time together. We then came home and watched the movie Traitor. It was a fun day.
Saturday morning went fairly leisurly until we remembered Michael's basketball game was at 9 am - we remembered at 8:50. After the game Mylinda and Mike went shopping for paint ideas for the kitchen. Then we worked on mudding the kitchen and taking down a few of the cabinets so we can paint behind and around them easier in areas where walls had been patched and such. We ended the day with baths and a daddy daughter date for icecream for Allison.
Today was a good one of watching Grammy on Music and the Spoken Word - we will be lobbying for more air time for her though! - and then off to church followed by some naps, games and Primary meetings for Mylinda while Mike and little Michael did some hometeaching.
Now we are sitting down to take a deep breath before the next plunge. We are so greatful for the time that Mike has to stay home from work for these two weeks and are working hard to get caught up around the house. It is another whirl-wind week on the horizon though so look out cause here we come - we love you all - God's Speed - The Stones
