Ducks

Mike sent Jorja and I pictures of the ducks together. Jorja asked if they were friends now. Mike said, "Not for long!" Waddluigi looks like he is up to mischief.

Mike opened his early Christmas present today. He got a duck cam. He is thrilled. Now he can watch the ducks while he is as work. I think he can even control the direction the camera is facing with his phone.

Preston was supposed to go to a First Aid merit badge class tonight. A few hours before he needed to leave there was a text on the group chat letting the scout advisors know that two boys earned that merit badge as 11 year old scouts. Preston was one of them. He was off the hook for tonight.

Jorja had a LONG day today. Bode invited her to go to the temple after school. She was pretty excited about that. She brought a dress and changed after school. There were three boys and three girls. Bode, Brenton and Riley. I don't remember the names of the two other girls that went with them. Each of the boys was able to baptize one of the girls. Brenton baptized Jorja. That was pretty cool. After the temple they went to Chick-Fil-A to eat. Probably because they also needed to drop Jorja off there for work. Jorja forgot her wallet, but she was able to get her break food early. She gets ten dollars worth of food every time she works. Jorja worked the rest of the night until closing. She got home just after 10:30. Mike had the ducks in the house when she came home and she could not get enough of them. Finally we had to put them outside so she could do her math. She is struggling with math right now. It makes her cry. It's hard for Mike and I to help her because they don't have any math books, so there is nothing we can do to get the math back into our brains. We did the best we could with these weird roller coaster/parabola story problems, but she didn't finish. This is what I was worried about with her having a job. She worked super late last night and then again tonight. She went early to school to try and get help, but the math teacher didn't come in for quite awhile. When he did he noticed a boy that had come in after Jorja, he helped that boy first and ended up helping him the entire time. So, Jorja was left with a lot left to do and struggling with how to do it. She is going to try and go early tomorrow, but she didn't get to bed until 12:30.
