Let me just say that life is always busy and the kids are doing great. The girls were in little pepsters last Friday at the EHS home football game. They had a lot of fun being cheerleaders for a night. Tyson and Trey sat and watched the football game like big boys and I was very impressed. We left at half time and went to eat at the Pizza Hut with 5 kids in tow and had a really nice time, they all acted civilized and made mommy proud.
Saturday we spent the day watching Holden for Steph and Jerry, they had to go watch the Gladiators, the football team Takota plays on. Unfortunately the Gladiators lost, but only by 13 points this time. I guess that is an improvement. I painted the bathroom that Jeff has been remodeling and on Sunday he started the trim work and hung the new light fixture and medicine cabinet. We also went to Steph's for Trey's birthday, the kids always have fun playing together, it reminds me of when the Soukup family would get together at the farm and the kids would play and fight and break crayons.
Lydia's funny for the week would have to be that I had to call her teacher and we were discussing her behavior and I wanted to know how much trouble she has been in. The teacher told me her and another little girl were talking amongst themselves during her math lesson and when she asked them "Excuse me ladies, am I interrupting your conversation?" They both replied "YES!" and started up again until she gave them their clothespins, we both laughed, surprisingly that was the naughtiest thing she had done-Thank Goodness. They get a clothespin each time they get in trouble and if they get too many they get sent to the principal and so on. Acacia is working hard on getting all of her points for the Accelerated Reader program. She is doing great in school and is excited about next week being spirit week, she likes pajama day. Jeff is really enjoying his new job, it is definitely an adjustment for me since I was used to him getting home at 3:30 and that was when I started working and now he doesn't get home until 4:30 or 5:00 so I have to do more juggling and rearranging. It will all work out in the end I am sure.
