Today was supposed to be our Primary Program. I've been stressing out about getting the songs taught and having the children ready before I took the month of August off with the baby. This whole month we've been practicing hard and getting the kids ready for today. Before I went to bed last night I had the diaper bag packed, church clothes set out, alarms set, and the Primary Song Book ready to go. A half hour before we needed to leave we get a phone call saying that the power is off and so church is canceled. REALLY?!?! I could have kept my small newborn baby home from church a few extra weeks if I would have only known that our program wouldn't be until October!! Yes- I think it's safe to say that I'm ticked. Someone forgot to tell the power company that you don't mess with the Primary Chorister on the day of the Primary Program. It's just not a good idea. Since I don't personally know anyone at the power company, my dear husband and his brother Jared had the pleasure of listening to all my ranting and raving about the situation. Don't worry, Sicily slept "like a baby" through my whole explanation of why I was so annoyed.

It's That Time!!
I had to change my background for something appropriate for the season! We are attempting to start potato harvest tomorrow! Pretty exciting. It's funny how the first couple weeks are exciting and the last 2 weeks are torture! As the weather turns colder, so does my heart for harvest.
Sicily had her first parts run experience. Poor girl is going to have quite the life of going across the desert in search of parts. I thought it would be nice to get out and told Mark we'd ride with him to Idaho Falls in search of a part for the combine. We got to the JD store and found out they had the wrong part for us. Rexburg didn't have it, Blackfoot had 1 piece we needed. We drove to Blackfoot to get that part, on the way to Blackfoot we got a call back saying Tremonton had the part. They are the only JD store to carry the part for STATES around. I guess driving to Tremonton is faster than waiting for a part to come in the mail on a holiday weekend. So, long story short, Sicily had her first trip to Utah also! (Thanks Uncle Frank for your help getting phone numbers!)
Anyway, better to learn right off how "chasing" parts really is. Even if you have the part or better yet the husband in need of the part; you can't just walk into the first store and get the right thing. It just doesn't happen that way. And if it does happen that way for you, please call me and tell me what I'm doing wrong!!! I'll most likely need any "parts chasing advice" starting tomorrow with harvest starting. Yay for potatoes! (Okay that last sentence really was serious, not sarcastic like it could be interpreted. Really, who doesn't like potatoes?!)
Stay tuned for a post about our experience today with the Arco Fire Station. Who knew being a "stay at home mom" would be so adventerous???
