Tuesday was Bradley's last day of preschool. He pretty much just got to have a fun party. We all took treats to share and his teacher took all the left over paint so they could paint lots of pictures and play in her bouncy house. Bradley and Connor both had a blast. That night Jared had a soccer game.
Alan took this picture of Connor when we are on our way to drop him off at work after dropping the other guys off at school. It looks like Connor is winking, but poor guys just has tons of eye boogers sealing it shut. I guess that's what happens when you get woken up to go.
Wednesday Lauren got to celebrate her unbirthday at school. First thing in the morning we got to go in and read a book to her class (all of us went except Jared). They had been telling jokes in her class recently... For show and tell. Lauren picked the old old book Goofy's Gags and Alan read it to the class. He had them all laughing pretty good between his voices and the jokes. Lauren also took popsicles to share with her class, but they ate them later...too bad it was still a pretty cold day. I just figured she has a summer birthday so they could have a summer birthday treat. They were even tropical flavored twin pops...and Lauren says the pina colada one is the best. Lauren had a great time having a special day at school. She also got to pick from the treasure box, pick a book, and lead the class in a birthday dance. Wednesday was also ready to learn. We went to the new meeting thing they are doing before hand and got lunch there too. That night we went to Hope of America in the Marriott center. We all enjoyed it...and Alan nicely went with us and suffered through it. He came home in time to eat his dinner while we walked down to it and then came home and helped us all get to bed then went back to work.
Ashley's quick dinner idea of deluxe quesadillas were a hit!
Thursday we went and helped in Lauren 's class. They were working on their Eric Carle pictures. It was a fun crazy day...and now that I have seen some of their finished products I can say they turned out amazing. My visiting teacher came in the afternoon. Lauren had a soccer game after school. She always does awesome and gets very into playing. Later that night we went to a Y-juggle closing social. It was here in Wymount at another apartment. We had fun eating snacks and juggling outside until it got too dark and time for bed.
Friday I went and helped in Jared's class and Bradley and Connor went to a friend's. We were able to walk down and pick up Jared and then we walked over to the creamery on ninth so I could get some cabbage and green onions to make coleslaw for the evening. We went to a lab barbecue at Alan's advisor's house (Mike Goodrich). We had a really fun time there even though it was pretty breezy and chilly. Jared, Lauren, Bradley, and Connor all loved jumping on their trampoline...ok Alan too. On the way home Alan let us stop and get 16 pounds of strawberries and 21 pounds of bananas ( they were all on really good sale).
Saturday morning a boy in our quad on Lauren's soccer team came over for awhile ( His mom wasn't able to take him to the game so he tagged along with us all morning and part of the afternoon). Jared's game was first and he had a great time. The two teams were pretty evenly matched. Sometimes they aren't and more often than not Jared's team is the one getting killed. Jared liked having things a little more even...and even winning the game. After the game we hurried to the car to get Lauren and Jeffrey to their game and it took the car a couple of tries to start, but it did start and we made it up the hill to their game. Lauren had a great game like always. When we tried to start the car on the way home it wouldn't turn over at all. (I had forgotten that it had had a problem before and I was like oh yeah.). Luckily there were still a couple.of cars in the parking lot (it was the last game time of the day and it cleared out fast). We were able to get a jump start and make it home. The guy who helped up got locked out of his car by his kids and they would not let him back in. He tried everything including calling his wife, counting to ten and the guy even said "That's it you've lost all your marbles"....hahaha...it was just so funny when he said it. I really would like to know if she lost all the marbles out of her reward jar or not. After that we started to leave and before we were out of the parking lot she let him in. Alan let us all climb out at home...and made sure to not turn the car off. Then he went down to a car place to make sure it was just the battery...and it was. I was really glad all it took was a new battery. That evening we went to a picnic at a park in Saratoga Springs. It was with a whole bunch of families that used to live in quad 2 (most have moved out, but a couple are still there). It was super fun to catch up with these friends and see how their kids have grown and see new little babies. These are the kind of friends that feel like family. We really did have a great time spending time with all of them!!
Playing in the hole!
Sunday after church our ward had a linger longer. It was a dinner planned by the bishopric...mostly the bishop. It was nice to not have to worry about dinner when we got home. I gave all the boys hair cuts. Connor sits the best out of all of them! Alan also went home teaching that night.
