Shopping, shopping, and more shopping!
Planning an event for 500 kids takes some prep work, especially if you are the one who gets put in charge of the Snack Shack. Ashlyn was a good sport and rode around Costco like a queen.
On our walk with Cole, we found little snakey in the field.
I'm not a big fan but it's a fun discovery for the kids. Ash named him Twinkle.
The sunset was spectacular from our balcony. Christian noticed it when I was putting the kids to bed. Gorgeous!
Running back and forth from track practice to baseball practice and baseball games makes for a busy after-school week. Homework, piano lessons, dinner? Ashlyn's birthday? John out of town all week? What else?
Christian is too cute in his little uniform.
And the kids like exploring during the games. Today they found this little guy and named it Thumbelina .
Poor Cole!
He has a "hot spot" which is a common occurrence in Goldens, we are finding, and it's disgusting. His neck is skinned bare and looks so gross.
He spent the day at the Vet to be cleaned, disinfected, tranquilized, shot with cortisone and antibiotics, and any other thing to rack up a bill. Then they told me to watch him and not let him scratch.
HUH?
Um, not let him scratch? Am I supposed to hold him all day? Am I supposed to stand watch all night? You've got to be kidding me. So they sent me home with a cone, which when it's on him, he doesn't move.
At all.
He stayed in the same position all night.
All day.
He does not like the cone.
It's Track Meet time!
Brooke is in lane 7 and came in 1st place for the 200m dash! Go Brooke!
This is our 3rd track meet of the season, but our first at home. A home meet means that we are very busy since we 'host' and in John's case means that he runs the whole show.
Basically a party for 500 kids and their parents. That's a lot of organizing to do!
Christian's first year running and he is loving it!
Now we are ever so grateful for Conference Sunday to relax, be refreshed, rejuvenated and spiritually fed, and physically fed (yum!). These are the only 2 days out of the whole year when John is home. We can have even have breakfast so we look forward to Conference for more than its original intent!
Cinnamon rolls with vanilla cream cheese frosting, breakfast pizza, fresh fruit. It was breakfast, brunch, and lunch. PERFECT!
