Hello all! Monday was busy, we had a large candy order delivered and Jim took Grandpa to get his hearing aids adjusted. Tuesday Gwen was able to go help a little in Reagan's classroom and that afternoon was a little busy with someone coming to look at the countertops, Jaren, Jenny and Hailey came for playing and dinner and then Jim was off to church stuff and Gwen and Kim went to a bridal shower while Cake watched the kids. Wednesday we probably went to the park after Reagan's school (I can't remember) and Thursday Gwen started feeling really yuckky with a doozie of a sinus infection. Friday there was no school and so Cake took Reagan on a "date" to the park and Target. Gwen and John did mini errands. That afternoon Gwen went to the doctor and Jim was home early enough that he could watch/play with the kids. Saturday was rainy all day which Gwen loved, but she wasn't working on the church farm in the rain like Jim - he got to play in the mud! Then he came home and the van had a flat tire so it became a frustrating family outing to Sam's tire shop. First, we wandered around for an hour and went back and he said he couldn't find anything, but at our urging said he would look at it again. So we went back inside and had pizza for lunch. We went back to the tire shop and he said he couldn't find anything still so we went to the van in the parking lot and Gwen HEARD the air hissing out of the tire, so we went back in (at this point Jim was sure the guy hadn't done the proper testing in the water tank) and he came out and listened to it himself. So we hung around some more and when Jim went to check, the guy was having lunch! ugh! Soon after we were on our way - ugh! Saturday we also colored easter eggs-the kids ended up having green hands. Sunday we decorated our bunny cake, hunted a few eggs before church and then church and home to get ready for Cake and some of the Petersens for dinner. It was fun, but the kids were so crazy with sugar and tired that it was early to bed for them. Have a great week! Love, Jim Gwen Reagan and John
