Today was pretty much a lazy day. I did clean, but only half-heartedly. I don`t really have much to say today. The kids have half days every Friday so they were home early today and they all helped clean up the house and their rooms. I made some rice krispie squares for them as a reward. Poor little Maiya got taken to the emergency room this evening because she stood on the side of the tub and then slipped and fell and smashed her face. Grant picked her up right away. She bled everywhere. Poor Maiya. Grant was pretty broken up about it too. I had to remain the calm one. Kaitlyn and Damian were so worried for her. They cried for about a half hour after she left. McKenna was more like me, the strong silent type. She looked upset, but didn't cry. It wasn't until the other 2 had finally calmed down that she felt it was okay to cry. We all had some ice cream together and watched a movie to take their minds off of it. Grant brought Maiya home, and we are still hoping it is not broken. They couldn't tell because her nose was so swollen, but we were told to check it when the swelling goes down to see if it's broken. I'm hoping that this is not the case. After I cuddled her for a while I left to go to the church for Heritage Night. I had to do a little segment on photography. I was not ready at all. I was feeling so tired, didn't have a chance to change into anything other than the scrubs I'd been wearing cleaning all day. I lost my notes that I was going to bring, so I fumbled a lot. I basically just answered questions and gave basic ideas. It was a nice night regardless though and I got some great ideas from some of the other women presenting things about preserving your history :) Grant and Caleb hung out and played videogames and ordered pizza. Alas, the only photo I have that I can add for today is a photo of something I was selling. I didn't take any other photos otherwise. We are selling our Wii and other stuff right now. Trying to declutter and simplify our lives while at the same time making some money to pay down debt. I should see if I can get a photo of Maiya and her nose to put here tomorrow.
