Swimming and Playing

 We've had a fun and busy week with swimming and school and everything else.  Monday was a usual Monday with laundry, school, family home evening, and swim practice.  

Tuesday, we had my new ministering companion and her husband over for dinner.  It was fun to get to know them a bit and of course, the kids loved them.  Evelyn also had a dentist appointment on Tuesday where she had 4 baby teeth pulled - she has had a much rougher time than Aaron - of course, she hardly has any molars to chew with right now....  In the evening, I met with Sister Arnoldson to talk about my new calling and get to know each other.  Instead of sitting around and chatting, she joined me on my evening walking of Koopa.  

Wednesday was the usual work day.  Anna had a doctor's appointment to check up on how her knee has been doing.  With Cross Country over, and with the stretches, it's been much better.  She had piano lessons in the afternoon and marching band, plus there were the youth activities in the evening.  

Thursday was back to school as usual.  It's crazy to think just how close we are getting to the end of the school year - even James feels like this school year has gone really fast.  Thursday afternoon, after Dan got home, I headed to Safeway to get my second vaccination shot.  - It's official, Dan and I are fully vaccinated, now we just need to wait for the 2 weeks to be up and we will be good to go.  

Friday, after taking James to school, David and I went to play at the park for a bit on the way home.  He loves playing there, but we can't usually stay too long in the mornings.  In the afternoon, Eileen and Anna had a swim meet.  They did well and it was a beautiful day.  There was a park right outside the pool deck and it was an outdoor pool with chain link around it, so Dan brought the kids to play at the park and watched the meet from outside.  

Friday evening, James claimed his "Make one treat with Dad" coupon and he and Dan made edible s'more slime.  I think he had a fun time doing it, but it was a MESS!  lol

On Saturday, we spent some time out working on the yard and enjoying some beautiful weather, then in the afternoon, I took the kids down to the play ground.  One of the kids who lives right next to the playground, brought out their kitten and James was loving holding the sweet little kitty!  Then in the evening, Evelyn had a birthday party with a friend from school.  Then Dan and I went on a "date" where we really just grabbed some dinner and then hit Costco and Walmart for some stuff for the weekend.  I was also hoping to get some things for Monday, but their selection was pretty lame....  

Sunday was wonderful.  We had a great Sacrament meeting and a great 5th Sunday lesson.  Then we had a fun afternoon playing together and cooking.  We had the sister missionaries over for dinner and had cinnamon rolls and an omelet - all of which were wonderful - then in the evening, we walked some of the cinnamon rolls over to the Shum's house.  David could show Dan the whole way there, though he wasn't 100% sure of which house it was, but he got us all the way to their street with out help.
