Scott's mom came over today so that I could go to Jaden's school and hang out for the morning. It was great to see what they do every day. We went on a fall walk, but it was too cold to go far. I helped with the craft and just generally helped keep the kids doing what they were supposed to be doing. Jaden generally did a great job paying attention. And it was nice to see some of the other kids act up. :-)

After I got back from Jaden's school, Elaine stuck around for awhile so that I could get some things done for our trip. Scott got home really early (around 1:30), so we were able to work on some things together. We also attempted to winterize the pool, but Scott realized that we really needed something to cover the center drain. He ended up putting the chemicals in, but we didn't have time to do anything else because he needed to fix the main drain valve and figure out what to do about covering the drain.
