Giant beaded lizards

To say nothing of Andrew's work schedule (which doesn't always populate on my calendar), today...

• I had a meeting from 10:30 to 11:15 
• I had a meeting from 11:15 to 11:45
• I left with the boys and Phoebe for the pool around 2:30
• Zoë had piano at 2:45 
• Miriam had piano at 3:45
• Zoë and Alexander had swim practice at 4:30
• Benjamin had swim practice at 5:00
• The big kids had mutual at 7:00
• The medium kids had an activity at 7:00
• Alexander had his baptism preview event at 7:00
• We had to record a song for my mom at 8:30

It was a busy day and—aside from "leaving for the pool around 2:30"—that is just the official stuff that made it onto the calendar. We did other "stuff" as well!

It was also the last of a lot of stuff, which is why I don't mind sharing our calendar publicly. Swimming, piano, and church activities will all get switched around beginning next week...so this is the last day we'll have a schedule like this. And it may have been the first day we've had a schedule like this. 

Alexander's baptism preview went well. It was very low-key. The kids especially appreciated the tour of the font and getting to take handfuls of mints from the jar in the bishop's office. 

It was a good thing the parents of all the littlest activity day kids were there for the baptism preview because the baptism preview made us all late to the activity, which was fairly complicated...but it worked out because we had so many parent helpers there!

The kids made beaded lizards out of pool noodles!

They turned out so great and we can't wait to get them in the water!
