Week7 - Sunday Febuary 7th thru Saturday the 13th
This week we were all finally better, so it was back to the same old routine, well kind of.
Eddie had this week off. He did some stuff out in his shop, cleaned up the yard a bit ( but then the winds came up and blew everything all over again), tried to hook the spa up again ( looks like it needs a new heating element), and watched cowboy movies. Exciting, I know!
Dallen of course had wrestling practice. That was exciting! We took a team picture for the year book. Hopefully it turns out cute, they love seeing themselves in the yearbook. Thursday, we had a Valentine's Party in Dallen's class. I of course ( because it says sucker across my forehead) am the room Mom in his class. So I needed to be there and help set up and put the party together. He made each kid in his class a Hershey's Kiss Rose. For Erika though he made her a bouquet. He also spent his own money and bought Erika a candy gram and a Teddy Bear from the 8th grade fund raiser. Erika also bought Dallen a bear. He definitely has his Dad's giving genes. Friday, Dallen spent the day helping Dad clean the yard while Mom cleaned his room. I did not actually clean it, I just took in garbage bags and threw half of it out. That is what happens when Mom has to clean your room. Saturday Dallen got to go on his first official (legal) hunt. Eddie Dallen and Shawn went up to the Carter's property and went coyote hunting. Dallen came home with his first coyote. (They are nasty creatures YUCK)
Claira had a busy week too. Tuesday was Achievement Day Girls. She only has one more meeting in Achievement Days, then she will be in Young Womens. Wednesday she had 4-H. We came away from the meeting doing very well and did not volunteer for any new assignments. I think Home Arts just about killed me. Thursday Claira had a Valentines Party in her class too. I am not the room mom in that class though, Mr B. did not ask for one LOL. Thursday night was the Valentines Dance. It was her first dance. I was not too excited about her going to the dance. At first she did not even want to go, I told her it was her choice she could go if she wanted to, but I was not going to make her. Eddie however told her she should go. Although he did not think she actually would. The night of the dance we put her hair in curlers, and then Eddie asked about her makeup. He asked why she did not have makeup on? WHAT HELLO Where is my husband? So I used some of her "play" makeup and put it on her. Nothing that she had on hand was really colors that work well with her skin and I definitely did not have anything. She has a much more olive color than I do. We made due though.
