Friday
Today was Grandpa's birthday. We made cards for him and then met everyone at his office to surprise him. We waited for him to get there for 45 min. in his little office (14 kids and 7 adults). It was great fun! One of the pictures is of the kids under his desk. We had a big mishap in the evening. We had some scuffles between Kortney and Nathan, so they had to go to the cold room (the laundry room) together. Nathan didn't want to be in there with her and got angry and hit the window in the door between the kitchen and the laundry roon and broke it. It really was a miracle that we walked away with as little injuries as we did. I was right on the other side of the door and got a little cut on my forehead and one on my thumb. Nathan got two bigger cuts on his forearm and one on his pinky finger. And Kortney didn't get any. All the other kids were in the other room. It was a humbling evening for Nathan and he took it very well. He did a lot of sweeping, mopping and vacuuming, then he wrote a paper of consequences he felt he should have, drew a picture of the event, and went to bed.
Kids
They did music practicing, made cards for Grandpa, read their free reading books, watched Olympics, and learned some good lessons. Kortney also did a Life Skill of making muffins.
Saturday
We got up early, had scriptures, and got ready to go to Grandpa's Birthday Party at Classic Skating. We had a LOT of fun! And no one got any major injuries, just a few good bruises. Cameron & Tylan really enjoyed being able to ride scooters around. Part of Nathan's consequence was no skating, but the last hour we let him ride a scooter.
