August 23rd and before

August 21^st was Friday and we were working with the replacements when Jake and Kandis Tuft visited the mission office.  They are missionaries that married each other that were here in the mission when we first came.  It was fun to see them in the office even though President had had them speak at transfer meeting.  Sister Tuft is pregnant so everyone was excited about that.

Even though it was Larry’s birthday we did not go out to do anything because we were tired after transfer week.  Misty did post a cute video of their kids singing Happy Birthday to us on Facebook so that was fun.

August 22 was Saturday our Preparation Day so I worked on the quilt in the morning.  It took all of the morning for me to cut the strips on the fleece so that they were even and could be tied together and then we took the quilt down to Nathan’s apartment to tie the quilt with the kids.  I ended up tying most of it but I did show Sammy how to tie one or two and get him to help me with it.

Everyone else was busy with their Ipads or cell phones playing games.  Erik Alonzo and his son were there with Nathan and the kids so I felt good about that.  But there were no girls so Maggie wanted to come home with us to sleep.

August 23^rd, my birthday, was a Sunday this year.  We went to church and helped Maggie and the kids at church.  Some of the kids wanted us to take them home with us to Nathan’s apartment.  When we got there Nathan wanted us to take the kids back to Sara’s as he was tired and not feeling well.  As we could not fit all the kids in the new car with seatbelts then I was voted the one who got to take them and Larry stayed with Nathan. 

 Maggie was wanting chocolate milk to drink but Nathan did not have any chocolate milk mix and I think I had promised her some at the apartment in the morning so I texted Sara asking if I could make chocolate milk for Maggie at Sara’s when we took her home from Nathan’s, but when we got there she wanted her mother to make it so that finished that. 

   

Sammy was upset when he forgot his blanket at Nathan’s so I told him I would get it and bring it to him.  It made me feel good that he wanted his blanket because sometimes he didn’t seem to care about some things.  He did get really excited about sleeping with it when I finished which surprised me because it was a hot day.
