Saturday Stuff

Inspired by a night spent cleaning the temple and a visit by Mom and Dad Rose, Saturday was needfully spent cleaning the house!! With the whole family pitching in, the job wasn't bad at all and the result was entirely worth it (at least for me!). I love the feel and smell of clean corners. I'm typically a neat person, but not always clean down to the floorboards -- so I'm feeling pretty great about the state of things at the moment. If only the clean stayed clean!!!

As mentioned, Mom and Dad drove over to spend the evening with us (no small task considering they spend Friday evening and Saturday with Julie and her kids, then dropped everything to run to our house after they left). They came to spend some time with us and hear the kids recite their parts for our Primary Sacrament Meeting Presentation (which is today). They weren't able to stay for church since Dad has speaking assignments in two wards today. They spent the night and got up early this morning to drive home.

The kids absolutely love it when Grandma and Grandpa come for a visit. They pull out every trick in the book to impress and entertain and are always gratified by the oohs and aahs doled out in their behalves. Thanks for being wonderful parents and grandparents, Mom and Dad. We truly appreciate the sacrifice it was to drive over for such a short time. We loved having you!
