Little purple pansies

I couldn't help myself Saturday and I bought some more flowers. I saw these "Little Purple Pansies touched with yellow gold" and I just had to get them. My pansies usually don't survive the summer heat...they are so tender. Petunias do much better for me. But I got petunias, pansies and a geranium and hopefully I can keep them alive. They have been surviving fine with this cool weather we have been having. Although my marigold's aren't doing so well.  Scott and the kids got the corn planted so we now have our garden all the way planted. We have tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers (slicing and pickling), corn, green beans, carrots, and pumpkins.  And I have a raspberry plant that is doing well and I planted more strawberries. I hope that I can stick to my goal to harvest my garden well. It seems like every year I make the same goal and then I get tired and I can't keep up on the weeding and then I somehow get so much food and it goes to waste!! If I can't can it this year and keep up with it, which is what I'm determined to do this year, I need to make sure I give it to my neighbors!!!
This week I have felt a little lazy and blah. I don't know if it has to do with the weather but I haven't been very motivated to do a lot of housecleaning and gardening. I've actually been spending a lot of time with my boys which is good and I've been reading way too much. Last night we went to Kael's band concert at the high school which was awesome. They played theme's from the movies: Star Trek, Star Wars, How to train your dragon, Mission Impossible, Pirates of the Caribbean and Avatar. It was really fun to listen to but halfway through, my younger boys were done. Scott took them to grandma and grandpa's for a little while and then came back and got Kael, Kalli and me.  It surprised me how scared Aaron was of the music...he kept saying how loud it is. He is not used to live performance. He is just used to CDs and DVDs. I need to take my younger boys out more and expose them to more plays and concerts. It just has been hard with their age...they have a hard time sitting through long performances.  
Scott and I went to the play, "Annie" at the SCERA on Friday and really enjoyed it. A girl from our ward was in it so that made it extra fun to see her perform.  I could really see Kalli in something like that in the future. I am looking forward to going to plays and concerts at SCERA this summer.  It is hard to believe that the school year is winding down and school will be over soon.  Aidan has a fun field trip to the Living Aquarium tomorrow and Kalli has a ton of sixth grade activities coming up: Etiquette dinner, Kickball game against the Faculty, sixth grade graduation....it will be a lot of fun.  And take-home library is winding down. I am so excited to be helping with the library since I am planning on being in charge of it next year....it basically means that I will make be in charge of getting parents to switch out the books (which parents are so awesome and step up to do this...it will be great!) and basically if an emergency happens and they can't do their books than they can call me and I will do it.  It will be a busy job but I have such a love for reading that I love encouraging others to read also. So I am looking forward to helping there and hopefully Aaron will be going to preschool at Westmore next year so I will just have Ammon with me and that will make it easier.
