just a day...

Just a random day... Well, not super random, because i have a week worth of vacation starting today. Compared to American standards i have a ridiculous large amount of vacation days. 25 standard and i get an additional 10 because i am following additional courses. So I can afford to take a week off when the boys are on Easter break. Timed well anyway, because work has been extremely busy and stressful lately.
Anyway, here are today's random activities:

• Slept in - one of my very favorite things to do. Despite the fact that I work 40 hours a week, have two young children, am the Relief Society Pres, visit teach the sisters in the most outward corners of our ward, and take French classes on the side, deep down i am incredibly lazy.
• Took an bushel of old jeans of the boys. The oldest ones i cut up into patches to use on the-not-as-old ones and patched 7 pair of jeans with that. Now I am wondering, am I thrifty or just cheap?
• Went to visit teach, the only sister on my list that lives in the vicinity. Took the boys, because the sister i teach has a daughter their age and they like to play. Because my visiting teaching companion bailed out on me (with excuse, she had a baby just a couple of weeks ago and she's quite exhausted) the boys and I decided to go by bicycle. It's probably three miles or so to this sister's house, but we missed a turn on the way over and it became four miles instead.
• Had Family Home Evening with the boys. We talked about baptism. Sunday will be Stoney's big day.
• Prepared the forms for Monty's Dutch passport that needs renewing. Leland did the forms for his American passport. Tomorrow we will spend our day paying for overpriced passport pictures and sitting on uncomfortable plastic chairs waiting in first the Dutch embassy and later the American one. A day well spend i am sure...
• Broke up a pillow fight a 9 pm between two certain boys..

And thus ends a random day spend with the people that love :-)
