Feb. 8, 2009 - A new week

Getting the girls up and going wasn't too bad this morning....getting them to stop playing on the other hand...

The boys (Rog and Ry) got up early (like 4am) and had some friends meet them here and they headed south to deer camp for squirrel hunting.  They were home when I returned from church - long drive for such a short hunt time.

We hung out here at the house, not really doing much of anything until time to go to my sisters.  Dinner was there and we got over there right before she started cooking.  Thankfully we were there - she turned on her gas stovetop and it made a weird pop sound and the flame on the burner was really high and had a greenish tint to it.  She yelled for Roger to come check it out - best we can figure, there was a build up in the line, but it scared her and she would have turned it all of had Roger not been there.

Waldo and C-co (two guys Roger works with) came over for dinner and games afterwards.  We taught them how to play Phase 10.  When you have 7 players, that game takes a while.  After one round, it was time to come home.

Feb. 7, 2009 - Derby Day ~ Thinking Day

We had to get up and going early this morning - Samantha and I had to finish prepping for Thinking Day and the boys had to head on over to Scouts to get their cars weighed in and ready to race.

Riley made his car look like a Fire Truck (Surprise!)  He took 3rd place in his den this year.

Samantha and I had to leave Derby early because we had to be at Thinking Day.  Our troop chose Fiji and we had to represent the islands at a booth.  Here is what we had to share:

Here is our booth:

We had an errupting volcano that displayed the island formation:

Our snacks at the table:

That all made for a long day.  Samantha brought home a friend for the night.  They played Wii, we had dinner and we are headed to bed - I am tired!!

Feb. 6, 2009 - Friday ~ Game Day

The kiddos had plans this afternoon, so they got moving early and got what little bit they needed to do taken care of.  We left after lunch and went to a friends house for 'game day'.  A had set up several board games and the Wii at her house and invited our group over to play games.  The weather was nice out, so the children floated between the Wii and outside.  The moms got to sit around and chat...it was a nice afternoon. 

We stopped at the Florist and picked up the items our Girl Scout Troop needs for Fiji!  On the way home we grabbed a couple of pizza's and called Chelle and Em to come over.  The kiddos played on the Wii for a while, but we soon kicked them off - we had to take back over the Wii Fit board. Roger and Waldo had spent a couple nights this past week making sure they were running all the spots - we put a stop on some of those.

Chelle and Em couldn't stay late - we have a BIG day tomorrow!!
