Reviewing the week, it seems like things were pretty tame. Nothing jumped out at me other than Monica and I being sick, but we somehow are lacking fun pictures of that... Not only were we sick, but the kids didn't have school Monday and Tuesday due to the election so things were more hectic around the house than usual. Fortunately the girls have both been healthy, though Grayson may have gotten sick as well. He's a little harder to track because one, he's got really bad allergies and has a runny nose, congestion and a cough off and on all the time, and two, even when he's got a fever he still runs circles around everyone else in the house! We'll come back to him a little later, but through the first few days of the week we had off and on rain storms. It's been quite a while since we've had rain, so it's been really nice, and the kids all went out in the backyard to play.
That night, the rain was quite a bit more intense. Also, I've seen this downspout overflow many times, and I should probably go clean it out. Not sure how easy it'll actually be as there are a bunch of bends in the downspout at the top and bottom, but I should at least give it a try... when I'm healthy.
We finished up this wall in the laundry room this past week. I caulked around all the boards and Monica painted everything, and then we put up some hooks. I'd honestly believe this happened at the end of last week, or at least I think I caulked on Saturday, but the final project wasn't until this week, or at least not in a picture!
I wasn't there for this picture, but it looks like the kids all sitting on top of my car eating berries, so pretty self explanatory...
The kids wanted to go play frisbee in the front yard, so we headed out and had a fun afternoon. I had to duck out to go pick up Brooke from dance, and when we got back we cleaned up the front yard and had headed in for dinner. I think this was the first time our kids really tried throwing around a Frisbee. You never knew which direction Grayson would end up throwing, and they usually jumped out of the way when a pass came to them, but we all had fun.
Grayson didn't go to preschool on Wednesday. Monica actually got him all the way there, and then when she was getting him out of the car she was getting ready to clean off his face and he was coughing and she thought "maybe we shouldn't do preschool today..." so he came back home. Grayson's been seeming pretty tired during the day, but he super refuses to take a nap, so we've just kind of put him in situations where we hoped he'd fall asleep. Usually that means trying to get him to play something on his own, and then finding him on the couch later like this.
Or the next day when I walked out of the office to get some water and found him in the middle of the floor at the bottom of the stairs. Not sure what he was playing in this area, and our floors are super hard, but a nap is a nap.
On Saturday there was a primary program practice in the morning that Monica and the kids all went to. The primary program will be next Sunday. Exciting.
An odd side benefit of being so sick it's hard to sleep is that it helps you stay up for the whole BYU v Utah football game. The game kicked off at 9:15 and didn't finish until 1 am. I'll also say that through the game I could actually feel my sickness lessening. I don't know what Monica and I have, but it's like spinning a mystery spinner wheel and finding out what the sickness will be like that day each morning. Saturday was TERRIBLE for me (and Friday was for Monica, I'm a day behind, so I can "see the future"). I was super congested all day and spent a lot of time walking back and forth between the couch and the bathroom to blow my nose, so it was great to finally feel things clearing up, and Sunday was much better than Saturday. Anyway, winning the big rivalry was worth a picture at 1 am to commemorate the moment. 9-0!
Sunday was so crazy for us. The first meeting started at 9 am, and Monica's final meeting ended at 8:45 pm. There was a gap for dinner, and that's it. One of us was always doing something all day long. When I finally got some daylight after my block of meetings I played Water Works with the kids. It was a new one for them, but we had a good time playing.
