Today was my first day getting up super early for my exercise class. I had my alarm set for 4:30, but I was up by 4:15. It was pretty hard, and really crowded. Nice to be done so early though.
We also met with our builder today. He brought a floor guy over to talk to us and to measure the floor we are having replaced. The plumber was supposed to come as well, but he got held up at a different job. Once we decide on our kitchen layout we can get things rolling. April is supposed to call and set a time to come up here and help us out. Mike and I think we have figured out where we want everything, we would just feel better if April looks at it and lets us know if we are making any horrible mistakes!
Stockton had an activity planned for Family Home Evening. When it was time to go, he was still working on his homework. We cancelled the plans. We have told the kids to do their homework as soon as they come home from school. I know he played the Wii for awhile. This is a new thing. The other system was they could have about a half hour break before they started on their homework/piano/chores. What we discovered is it was really hard to get them to start. Finally we decided that everything had to be done before they can start at all. Makes for some long days for them, but at least things (usually) get done. Anyway, we are going to shoot for Wednesday to do FHE.
Preston probably has the most homework of everyone. Between his English written homework, Chinese written homework, 20 minutes reading, looking at his Chinese teacher's blog, his on-line math assignments, and his Chinese take-home book that needs to be read three times a day. Takes forever. We usually don't finish everything.
