Hello all! Monday we waited for a candy order and Tuesday we waited again for a candy order. Reagan went to play with a classmate that lives near by and then that night Gwen and Jim went and did sealings while the kids played with Cake. Wednesday after Reagan got out of school we went to the Scout Shop and finally got Gwen a Webelos shirt. Next we wandered around the Bass Pro Shop and even got some food to feed the trout in the stream. Love those free, air-conditioned things for kids' entertainment! That night was soccer practice for Reagan, and Jim later that night got the pinewood derby track to set up for the EQ party. Thursday Jim was in Tucson so after Reagan got out of school we took the van to the shop to have the door locks re-fixed (the doors wouldn't unlock with the remote or the key - so Reagan had to climb in the back of the van to unlock it for mom) so we hung out at grandma's for a few hours. Then the kids went to cake's while mom headed to the gym. Friday morning Gwen watched 2 boys older/younger than John. They had a great time playing. That afternoon Reagan played with her classmate again and we had to go get Jim at the shop because the starter went out on his work van (I'm pretty sure the mechanics pay their mortgage with our business! but the vans are payed for so we're going to hang in there) Friday night was the EQ Pinewood Derby. It was a smaller turnout than Jim had hoped for but two men came that he didn't expect to see, so it was good. Saturday morning was Reagan's game and it was HOT outside!!! They did really well, except for the half when they changed sides and Reagan kept shooting at the same goal - at least she didn't score! :-) Sunday was church and that night we went to Carolyn's for dinner and to visit with Aunt Jan. She had some fun things to show us and it was good to see all of the cousins. Hope everyone is well, please start blowing your cold air our way!!!!!!!!! Love Jim Gwen Reagan and John
