Kindergarten Open House

The kindergarten had a super cute open house today, where our kindergarteners were able to come and show us all around their school. It was so cute. They did it in a little "Exlporers" theme, like from the movie UP, so it was like we were Mr. Fredrickson and our own little Russell's were teaching us all about the wilderness. Peter was excited to see me come into the room. 

And then we went to different places in the school to get our "badges" for each area, like the bathroom, gym, cafeteria, and office (below).

Peter is so sweet. I love that little boy. Back at home, Mel and Kafrin and I had fun working the bike track in the back yard. 

We did a good job clearing out more pine needles and weeds. 

We moved the "pirate ship" play thing over closer to the trees, which I thought was a cute spot for it. 

Hyrum has been an amazing enforcer of chores. 

I hope things don't completely fall apart when he goes back up to school!! He's made the spreadsheet look AMAZING and all the numbers sync up and it's pretty good. The colors will change from red (bad) to yellow (ok) to green (good) to blue (excellent) as they complete more tasks. If EVEYRONE does ALL their chores it shows blue in the end column. Pretty fancy, Hyrum!

We got a package from Wesley today! Thank you Elder Wride!

Peter opening the box! Can you tell he's excited?

Wes wrapped a special minifigure for him. 

And something special for Owen and Daniel too. There was also a set for the three of them to share. Wesley had helped a member clean up their house and they said he could have these legos. There is also a lego train set of something that he asked us to put up away and keep it safe for him until he gets home in 16 months. Will do. He was going to write a letter to each kid, but decided that will take forever cause there are too many of us, ha, so he just wrote one. Feel free to read it if you can zoom in enough. 

Hyrum has still been a great enforcer around here, so thankful for his help (thank you Hyrum!!!) 

And Katharine has still been sleeping in different places every night. This morning I found her, as my first task of the morning, before going on a ride. Go find where is Kafrin. She was sleep on the floor in her room by her bed. Cutie. 

And still sleeping away so cutely after I got back. 

It was a good day.
