An audit would really go quickly with a 'dozer idling outside

The pool is closing soon, so this week Alison and the kids went to it a lot of times. They even brought Marissa over to the pool a few times.

As Mike is still a financial clerk in the ward, he did his audit this week. It took almost two hours, and went very smoothly. We found a clerical error, and corrected it on the spot, but otherwise it was uneventful.

On Wednesday Mike had his birthday dinner. We had curry and rice with Paratha bread. It was to the core. Mike ate for lunch on Thursday and Friday because well spiced food isn't the kids favorite thing in the universe.

This week Alison has also been planning for the kids upcoming school year. With the kids being part of My Tech High this year, she has to write up plans for which classes they will take, and then figure out how to spend the funds that they are giving us. Alison likes planning like this, so it has been fun for her.

Mike also found out this week that his game's publication date has been pushed back to October for art reasons. He will keep you all updated about when it is finally coming out.

On Friday we went to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for our date as a family. It was really fun. The acting and singing was both excellent, and we all had a fun time.

On Saturday as we went to the dollar store to pick up some more crayons for the kids Alison saw an advertisement on the windows that said that they sold Jamaican meat patties there. Mike used to get those on his mission, but has never seen any for sale in Utah. He has gone to a few different stores looking for them every so often but never found any, so seeing them at the dollar store was pretty surprising.

We bought a few, and made some Coco bread (which is the traditional bun for Jamaican meat patties), and had them for dinner. They are super unhealthy, and not at all fancy, but they are very nostalgic to Mike, and taste good in that greasy street food way.

On Saturday we also found out this week that the Poulson's are coming to Italy for a while with us. We are super excited to have some of our grandparents coming on our trip with us! We will be there from October 10th to October 30th, and we are in Venice from the 26th to the 29th, so it should be fun to tour Venice and experience the city with the Poulsons.
