A FUN AND BUSY WEEK

This has been a busy week, and I have taken my camera almost everywhere, but when I got home, realized that I hadn't taken one photo. What is wrong with me? It started on Monday with our annual neighborhood block party. It almost didn't happen, but thanks to our neighbor Marj, it actually happened. It was fun for the kids to get to play in the street (we block off the road), have water fights, hang out together, get pop from JoAnn's pop machine (she furnished the quarters), and for the adults to relax for a moment. It was great!

Then, Tuesday was the Primary Olympics barbeque. Another major water fight occurred. It was also fun.

Also, Tuesday, Nathan started his paper route for The Clipper (our Davis County Paper). Tuesday wasn't bad, but Thursday... Oh My Goodness!!!!!!! It took forever, because that is the day that we deliver the little freebee, and it can't be in the driveway. It has to be neat and tidy on the porch. Anyway, it really did take us forever because Nathan was in flip flops and was not hussling. We both are a little lost, but will learn the route soon. Once we know which houses to deliver to and get used to the route, I am hoping we can have it done in a little over an hour.

Friday night, we had a ward campout. It was very pourly attended, but the Wainwrights were there. Carissa and Becca made sure they got work off and everything, and they were the only teenagers there. I think they remember the days of ward campouts when they were little and all the little children would run around. I am glad they were with us, but I think they were a little disappointed. Their cousin Mandy showed up last minute, so she came along and that probably saved the day.

Of course, no pictures of any of this, but really, it did happen.
