March??? Boy do I need to get those Christmas Thank You's done! (sorry everyone!) This week was uneventful and very eventful at the same time. Monday was errand day of course and Gwen was cramming to get the tax information ready for the new accountant - have I mentioned our old accountant retired without even telling us?! Tuesday I think we went to the park and then dropped tax stuff off to the accountant and then to the church for Webelos. Our activity was to set up for the Blue and Gold Banquet that night. This is where the eventful part of our week is...Gwen was cutting out butcher paper to cover the tables and suddenly John started crying. Gwen looked up and John had scissors in his hand, crying and then Gwen realized he had cut himself. Where? you might ask....well, he had a little piece of his eyelid gone! Yes, Gwen had a little freakout. It wasn't cut all the way through to the eye, but I didn't know what to do. It happened that there was a guy at the church dropping stuff off for the banquet that has an EMT son. We called him and he and his partner came to the church in their ambulance (good thing I didn't have a bill for this!) and looked at John. They recommended just keeping an eye on it (no pun intended). So we continued getting ready, came home, had kid meltdowns, Jim cancelled his church night (he knew I would never survive alone with the ornery kids, the scout stuff and being on-call all at the same time - thank goodness he came. Also, that was his dinner for the night so he didn't have a choice :-) So it was a later night than usual with the kids. Wednesday was visiting teaching and Thursday John was sick (but the eye was improving) and Jim helped someone move stuff. Friday we stayed close to home but had a friend come play. Saturday we decided was garage cleaning day. What a job! But it looks much better now and you will never believe this...we found more of Cara's stuff! Yeah, Steve probably won't be so pleased, but at least it was food storage! Jim also helped someone move some stuff. Sunday we took turns at church (John had another fever - will the sickness ever end???), Jim taught a good EQ lesson and now it's bedtime. Hope everyone is well, please blow some cooler air our way - it's getting hot! Love the Petersens
