Hey-O it's primary program time! Oriah and fam asked about coming down for the weekend with it being Labor day, and the primary program was just icing on the cake. The kids did a wonderful job, and all had a turn sharing a time that their prayers were answered. Grayson was an exuberant singer, and it's always great in my book when I can distinctly hear my own kids! There was no doubt when Grayson was confident in the words, or when he was a little shaky on what was coming next.
We let Jelly try a little cat tv this week. I'd heard about it, and was wondering what it would be like, as Jelly has never cared about what's been on the tv before. Well, it works. She was immediately glued to the TV as soon as the first tweet happened. She was also much more interested on what might come up on the TV the rest of the night. I don't know that we'll do it again. She was very drawn into it, but I don't know if that's a good thing when she's got no chance to interact.
Grayson had his first day of preschool on Tuesday. Key highlight here being that when he grows up he wants to be "a farmer with Winry!"
I think I've mentioned that they're tearing down the convention center in downtown right by the train station, but one day they were literally ripping it apart with a giant claw.
Speaking of construction, Monica went by the temple to see how it was going. It definitely looks temple shaped now! That's super exciting. It still looks a long way out, but it's awesome to see it coming along.
If memory serves correctly, Brooke had a dentist appointment, though it's hard to tell from this Bluey viewing party. I think in the end the tooth that's hurting is actually because it's loose, and so they filed it down some to help for now and said it'll be gone soon enough.
Grayson got to go to jail, er, I mean the gym on Friday. He always calls it jail. Grayson had a lot of fun swinging and building and playing.
On Friday on the way home from school, the car Brooke was in got rear ended. It sounds like the person wasn't paying attention and hit them pretty hard, but everyone in the Koepps care was okay. Shaken up, sore backs and necks, but no serious harm. Brooke was pretty shaken up from it. She has been reading Harry Potter and wanting to watch the movies, so we started watching the second movie Friday night, and I ran to the store and grabbed some Harry Potter-esque treats. Dragon eggs, polyjuice potion, snakes, wizard hats and more.
On Saturday morning we got invited to Max's birthday party. I took Grayson and Winry and we had a whole lot of fun. We even ended up being the last to leave.
Saturday afternoon we went to Chuck-E-Cheese. The kids were really excited and enjoyed playing games in the arcade. I went around with Grayson to help him out. He really liked playing this game, and really wanted to get the ball into the milk jug in the back, and was pretty close a few times.
Before church, Winry alternated with another girl in the ward playing prelude music before sacrament meeting started. She practiced a lot, and Monica even had to add some notes to make the songs a little more challenging for her. She sure loves playing the piano, and did amazing.
Sunday evening, we had some popper fireworks still left around that it was finally time to use. They weren't even from the 4th of July this year, so we'd had them for far too long. The kids had fun pulling the strings and it wasn't too hard to pick up even though the road was wet from some rain.
