Another Week

The last week of February has come and gone. We were so lucky to have Grandpa Gordon here visiting. He drives his camper here and entertains the kids all week. They love watching movies in his camper and they all had a sleepover in it one night. Grandpa helped Lance put mouldings around some windows, fix the door on the fence, as well as other little projects around the house. It even motivated me to paint the back doors to match the trim. Tuesday night, Jason had a court of honor and is advancing nicely. He is really motivated to get his eagle. I hope it lasts! Thursday, we had our Cub Scout Blue and Gold Dinner and all the boys and their dads made cakes. The theme was America ABC. Devon wanted to do his own thing and make a castle with tootsie roll and gumdrop warriors with spears. We just called it Sutter's Fort at the last minute. Friday, Devon woke up not feeling well. We cancelled co-op and had a much needed quiet day. I accomplished some things that have been waiting for weeks. Lance had a terrible day at work as a "crisis" developed. He came home late and worked that night except for a run to the church for a skit he was in for a ward dinner. It was a "talent" show. He and a few other guys did a Synchronized swimming skit that was really funny. Saturday, we celebrated Maddie's birthday! My little one is now four and not so little. Lance had to work all day and night except when he was coaching the Deacons in basketball. It is raining again but the blossoms are out and signs of spring are all around. We watched hundreds of geese fly north the other day. It was fun to hear them honking all above us and see their formations in the sky.
