Chores

We cleaned the church for awhile this morning.  Then, came home for more chores!  Jorja had softball practice and ended up liking it better than last time.  Yay!  Stockton came with me to pick her up and we stopped by Target after to get some school supplies.  Stockton has had a gift card to Target from his 14th birthday.  We don't shop there much. Anyway, there is a binder that I got Maysen and Stockton last year that I love!  I haven't been able to find it at the office supply stores.  Online it said that Target had it.  They were wrong.  We did run into Mr. Ochoa.  We said hello and said Stockton was an overachiever.  I asked, "You think Stockton is an overachiever?"  He said, "Isn't he taking 4 AP classes?"  Nope.  He's taking 5.  Hope he can manage it!  At least the trip to Target wasn't a total waste.  We got Stockton a wallet.  He has been using a small chapstick box for awhile now.  Not ideal.  After stopping at Chick-Fil-A we headed home to finish buying our school supplies online.  My favorite binder is the Avery Ultralast.  It was awesome last year.  Amazon had it thankfully.  The one inch ones weren't too expensive, but the one and a half inch ones were pricy!

The rest of the day was spent on chores.  Cleaning the girls room, clearing out Maysen's things, getting new lights for Jorja, going through Stockton's clothes.  Fun stuff.  Mike had Stockton and Preston mow the lawn.  They ended up doing it together.  It was so cute!  Not what we had in mind, but cute nonetheless.
Stockton & Preston
Stockton went swimming up at the neighborhood pool with Mason. This is the first time any of us have used the neighborhood pool besides swim/diving lessons.  I love having a pool in our backyard, but I guess they miss out on a lot of socialness.  Mike and I had put 'play Dominion' on Preston's chore chart.  The only problem is we didn't get around to it until after bedtime.  Because it was on his chart, we felt we had to do it.  Whoops.  Stockton played with us, but Jorja didnt want to.  We got to bed so late tonight!  At least I won the game, so it was worth it.
