Road snacks.
My first stop was at Deseret Book. I went back a second time to look at the jewelry they have for young women. I still like the bracelet I picked out before. I called our Young Women's president to see if she wanted me to buy the bracelets and she said to hold off. That's fine. Our first birthday isn't until March. (The bracelets are for the girls birthdays.)
Other stops I made before arriving at 108th Way: Staples, the bank, Sam's Club, and Joshua's school to pick him up. He says he has a stomach ache but we soon discovered that he was faking it in order to get out of school. He told me if he must anymore school they might kick him out. I hope that isn't his goal.
I started raking dead leaves in the yard. Our yard looks like a blight hit it. Everything, and I mean everything is dead. The only green thing I could find was a weed. James came home and said he needed someone to go help him at the Chandler airport for an hour or two on the Horne job. Dallin and Michael refused, Ben said he didn't feel like it, and Alex and Joe were going to a Brian Regan show with Kim and Brian. I didn't want him to have to go alone so I went with him. We swept off and sprayed off the new concrete and it took about 2 hours. I got to spray the hose so I didn't mind so much. Afterwards we went to El Pollo Loco for some of their delicious chicken. We ordered it to go because we were definitely not dressed to go in.
While working at the airport we got the news that Rowan's tortoise Leo died. Rowan is heart broken. He even went and dug him up after he had been buried to make sure he was still there and hadn't been resurrected. He is such a tender, sensitive little boy.
Joshua said something funny to me this evening. Stacy was upset with Dallin because he had locked himself in the basement and she was yelling at him to unlock the door. Joshua came over to me and said:
"You don't want to be around Stacy when she gets her temperature up." I think he meant temper.
