A Busy Week!

What a crazy week! The kids loved it. Last Sunday Dunk and the five older kids went skiing with the B's. The weather was fantastic, and they had a blast. They came home late and slept in.
The next couple of days we did school, and Drum worked on his ES test on-line. His second time he passed it!! Were thrilled. Now he is ground-team certified and can go on missions with CAP. He also passed a test on Monday which means he gets promoted tonight. He's so excited.
Thursday, Dunk & the 4 boys went ice-fishing with a work friend. They caught a few fish, and had a ton of boy fun. They met early and ate breakfast at McD's. Even Dessert was up and so excited to go!! That evening ballet and speech were cancelled, so we had a fantastic evening watching a movie, National Treasure, and being together. We get so busy, it is fun when something cancels.
Friday, everyone caught up on school, and I got out of the house for the first time that week!! Dunk, Darling, and I went to get my folks from the airport. Then we went to Don Poblo's. Food was so good. The lady at the tortilla station made little cutout tortillas for Darling. So cute!! She loved them. She did so well at the restaurant. PTL. After 3 hours in the car, I thought she'd blow her top. We had a 45 min wait, where she walked around and watched the tortilla lady. I think that helped for when she had to sit again. All the people in the restaurant were facinating to her! :-) (why didn't I take a picture? It was sitting in my purse!) We had a nice time visiting.
Saturday, Dime, Deer, and Duke had basketball. Then Dunk took Drum & Dime to their volleyball CAP event. Then later I brought Dot and her friend to join them for a CAP Lock-In. Then Darling, Dessert, Deer, and I went to my folks for a few hours. We had a great time and I SKUNKED MY DAD at cribbage. (sorry, Dad :-) We came home and I made Dot's 2 pies for Sunday. (we both forgot, or she could have made them earlier)
Early that morning the troups rolled in to bed. They had a fantastic time at the Lock-In. Even Duke and Dunk got to try out the simulator. Deer got up and headed to church with her grandparents, I made chili for Dot's mission event, then rolled her out of bed to get ready. She helped serve at a chili feed for a fundraiser for the house they will work on during her missions trip this summer. It went well, and then she & I and Darling came straight home to hit the hay again!! It felt so good to nap!!
It was a busy, but fun week! Whew! Now on to the next......
