when the kids do things that may be a tad dangerous. I'm an overly cautious person, so I have to tell myself to let the kids build and explore sometimes. The boys spent forever during our family party building this bike ramp. Pretty cool.
The crowd was there to support Nicole's first soccer game ever. Nicole has been spending all week informing all the family, and some friends, of her upcoming game. The cousins made some posters and drew purple lightning bolts on their faces. She played great.
I'm pretty tired from seminary this week. To celebrate it being Friday we had Ellie and Zoe over to play. The kids were so happy, and I was happy to reward them for all their patience with me throughout the week.
Cameron approached the concrete worker at the flip house. Noticing that Damian was speaking to him in Spanish, Cameron walked up and started speaking jibberish. Damian and Salvador looked confused. Aaron, who figured out what was happening, explained that Cameron was speaking Spanish to him. Then Cameron said "au revoir" and left.
Thursday is Cameron's day to pray. We each have a day because it solves a lot of problems. Today when Cameron prayed he asked that he wouldn't lose at "sheckers" also known as checkers. He really loves his checkers. And I'll tell you this...he's actually hard to beat!!!
Mary and Nikki aren't feeling well today, so I kept them home from school. When I was a kid if I stayed home from school I got hot chocolate and toast served to me in bed. This almost made getting sick worth it, and now I pass along this favorite tradition. It always seems to do the trick.
Nicole's writing is really starting to come along. She can even sound spell a little. She spends the majority of her day with a pen in hand. I love this emergent writer stage.
We have been challenged by our Stake Presidency to read Preach My Gospel in our home and create a ward mission plan. This is what we came up with tonight at Family Home Evening.
