Life has been quiet lately (thankfully). I do have a post I need to get done about Labor Day, but I'm waiting on some pictures.
The kids are enjoying school. Gavin is just thriving in Junior High. Why did I ever doubt it? Enoch doesn't say much about Kindergarten, which means things are going well. If all the Kindergarten Moms could figure out the proper drop-off procedure, then Kindergarten would be going well for me too (don't park and leave your car in the drop-off zone!!!!!).
Kate misses Enoch. Everyday after we drop off the boys she asks, "Where are Enoch and Jimmy?" over and over and over. Then I drive the extra long way home, because she will fall asleep in the car. I carry her inside, lay her on the couch and she will sleep for 30 minutes. I can't put her in bed because she will wake up, but she does fine on the couch.
I'm trying to get back to a schedule. I posted a cleaning routine on my fridge. Too bad I've yet to have a week where it has been followed. Oh well. I spend all my cleaning time straightening up so I can eventually vacuum or mop. I figure my house will be clean in about 13 years (that's when Enoch moves out. He doesn't have a tidy bone in his whole body).
I've been able to get some sewing done. I've finished a dress, a shirt and a dress/jacket (I don't know what else to call it) all for Kate. Today I'm working on winter jammies. I'll try to post some picture soon.
Yesterday at Regional Conference, Sister Julie B. Beck spoke. You've got to love Sister Beck. She never finishes a talk without you knowing exactly what she is saying. She doesn't hold back. She reminds me a bit of Brigham Young that way. Anyway, she told us that we are doing better than we think we are, but we can still do better yet. I like that. Here's to doing better.

I remember an article I read once where the writer talked about basic days where not much goes on. It's tempting to think they are a little boring, but she pointed out that when things are going bad for us, we long for those "boring" days when not much was going on. I've thought of that a lot throughout my life and tried to enjoy even the basic days. Thanks for the news of everyone.
My life sounds somewhat similar to yours--getting into routines. I had to laugh about the house not being clean for 13 years. I feel like that all the time, and I even have a cleaning lady! But my house is always a disaster. Hey, I have little kids.
I second the drop-off/pick-up gripe. Seriously, people. I always seem to get stuck behind this chiquitita with puffy bleach blond hair, giant windshield sized sunglasses, driving a shiny huge Mercedes SUV who takes FOREVER in the drop off. We used to gripe about the pickup procedures at my elementary school...the principal would come out and run the whole operation like Hitler, yelling at parents who were out of line. But it sure ran smoothly. hahahaha Ok, seriouly enough of my rant.
Not much going on sounds nice. But how come even when there's not much going on, it seems like there's a lot going on? At least in my house.
