Our Week In Review - June 8, 2008

It’s been a week of sickness! All the kids and Chuck ended up with the cough/stuffy nose. Samuel spent two days on the couch with a fever, which hate to say it, but our house was really peaceful and clean while he was sick. Samuel finally decided after two days of not eating much that he wanted some fries. So, Chuck loaded the two kids in the jeep, which now has the top off, and took them for fries. The kids loved riding in the jeep and were laughing the whole way. Now everytime we go someplace they want to take the jeep. Sadly, we all can’t fit in the jeep because there are only two seatbelts in back.

On Saturday, Chuck began the morning early by running the Spedster 5K race. There weren’t very many participants so he ended up getting 5th place overall and 3rd in his age division. He even got a medal (if you can call it that!). In the past we have gone to watch him run, but with the three little ones and the race taking place at 7:30 a.m. we just couldn’t make it. I felt bad that he actually placed this time and we weren’t there. Later that morning we took the kids to Sand Hollow Reservoir. It was very windy, but they had a great time digging in the sand and helping Chuck build a sandcastle. The beaches really have wonderful sand and the kids loved it.

* Bella – she was so cute in church today because everytime we sang a hymn she was trying to sing along to. She was singing, you just couldn’t understand any of the words!

* Samuel – I hadn’t combed my hair from getting out of the shower yet, but when Samuel saw me come out of my bedroom he said, "I like your hair mom". He’s never said anything about my hair before, but apparently he likes a tangeled mess!
