Emptying of the Piggy Banks - My boy's piggy banks were getting full so we went to the credit union and put their change in the machine, they thought it was so much fun! We then opened up a dedicated savings account for each of them so it earns higher interest. I was proud of Salem for the amount of money he saved, it was a lot!

Darrell's 10 mile run - Darrell has been running every morning for a long time and now did his first "race" on Saturday morning. He has actually ran longer distances than this race before, but it was fun for him to be with people (including his brother Ryan) and have a finish line. We figured out the approximate time that he'd arrive so I planned on being there with the kids at the finish line, well...I was putting on my coat to leave the house and he called and said that he was already finished! I was glad that his parents and brother's family were there, but I was sad that I wasn't there. I met him afterward and snapped a few pictures. I'm thankful for such an easy-going husband.

UPDATE 4/9/08: Here is a picture that my sis-in-law, Christa, took that shows Darrell at the finish line.
Rotating 72 Hr Kits - I've been getting in the habit of rotating our food and other items in the 72 hour kits every 6 months, around conference time. Salem gets quite excited to eat the food that I don't buy too often.
Mending - I've also made a habit of mending while I watch the Saturday sessions of conference. I mended tears on clothes and sewed on buttons. I felt like such a mom! :)
General Conference - My favorite was Elder Ballard's talk. He talked about Mothers and he even talked to the children! Listen to it here.
