TGIF!!!

Thank Goodness It's Friday!! Fridays are one of my mostly enjoyable days. I've decided it's because the boys don't have school tomorrow so we don't have to rush to get homework done, nobody has a sports practice, nobody has scouts, usually nobody has anything so I can relax (or at least not have to go 90 mph all day long!!) Although tonight we are going to have to get ready to leave for Tyler's football game at 6:15am.

Yesterday I had Activity Days. We talked about budgeting money and how the money that you receive has to be used to pay alot of different items and things to run a household. I was surprised how much the girls understood or knew about their families budgets. It's probably me that hasn't done a very good job explaining to my boys how budgeting works. After realizing that most kids their age do understand -- at least to some degree -- how budgeting works, I've made a resolve to do a better job at teaching the boys how to better manage their money.

Kody went to basketball practice and I took Brooklyn wit us. She and I talked while Kody practiced Basketball and then we went and got Tyler from football practice. Todd had gone to a horse tack auction so the boys and I were going to surprise him and have the horses taken care of before he got home. That planned was ruined when we realized that the hay was moldy -- I don't know what moldy hay does to the horses, I just know Todd has said DO NOT feed the horses moldy hay. Also, none of us knew what the latest "creation" Todd has come up with as far as feeding grain and supplements to the horses so we had to wait for him to get home.

Not a very exciting post but just a typical day in our lives. Hopefully, I'll have some good news to post on Saturday about the out come of Tyler football game.
