cookies and cheese

Thursday after school we picked up our cookie order.  Lu and I have sorted them and have spent a couple trips out delivering.  We have more to go, it's pretty fun though.  It's been rainy and that's slowing down our delivery.  Hopefully tomorrow night we can get them last of them out of the house and happily delivered.

 

Friday was a half day at school. Yay!  Ethan and Hannah went to hang out with Eric and Chelsea after school.  Lu had Madison come here to play.  All the kids had a nice afternoon.  Ethan had a soccer game in the evening.  They won.  After R and I went to Longhorn Steak house with Pete and Katherine.  We always have fun with them, although we all agreed that from now on Outback or Texas Roadhouse would be getting our cow eating business.

 

Saturday we had a million things on the agenda.  Robotics Tournament, Chess tournament, Music Clinic, grocery shopping, Keean's baptism and an evening out.  It was too much...so we bagged it all and went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.  The wait was really long but we enjoyed looking at the stuff and playing many games of checkers.  Breakfast was really nice. 

In the afternoon we did go to Keean's baptism and then over to his house for dinner.  The kids ate.  I visited.  We left there early and met the Smith's and the Nichols at Ouzos in La Playta.  They have delicious Greek food, seriously yumm-o!  I loved it.  We had a great time visiting too. Then we went to see "I Never Saw Another Butterfly" at CSM.  The Kirkham family was performing in it. It was beautifully done but so sad.  It's the story of a concentration camp in Czechoslovakia that kept mostly children. 15,000 children passed through there, only 130 survived.  So so awful.  The main character was very inspiring, the way she endured.  It's amazing the resiliance of the human soul.  (head shaking)

This morning was stake council, and tonight was a YCL meeting and a camp conf call.  I went with the Laurels to their YW class today.  I have been so impressed with new youth curriculum and it's been so fun to see the different wards and how they are implementing it.  I really wanted to see how our ward was doing it.  Johnna taught a great lesson.  One thing I really love is how much the girls participate, in all the wards I've gone to. 

In other news R is converting his whole office to his fishing hobby.  Ironically today one of his buddies grabbed an old pole and some velvetta cheese and went out and caught a 20inch big mouth.
