Project 365-Week 5

Where in the world did January go? Why does time go so much faster when we want it to slow down?
It has been an interesting week here...some sickness went around our house. Here is a look...Not at the sickness by the way!

Sunday

Guess what time of year it is?



Pinewood Derby time! This is Ethan's first year in Cub Scouts and our first run as derby participants. Grandpa did the cutting of his wood, so once Kevin and Ethan get it decorated I'll give you a peek.

Monday

Here is what my drive to work looked like this morning.



This is a main highway here and it was slow going. I don't know if you can tell but they were plowing 3 wide, so at least it was freshly cleared!

Tonight started doing this....



Reese got half a cut. Did his legs and belly to try to keep the snowballs off. He wasn't too happy so will have to finish the top half later.

Tuesday

Had a doctor visit today. Not me, but this one...



He did well. Notice, top half of haircut still not done.

Wednesday

Tonight on my way home from work I ended up here.



Now you may think I stopped for a snack, but you would be mistaken. I followed a person driving erratically for a couple of miles while on the phone with 911. They weren't driving fast, but kept crossing over all of the lanes and shoulders, going around curves on the wrong side, it was awful!! I kept praying, "please Lord, don't let anyone be coming." It ended up being an older woman who was heavily medicated. She had no idea where she was or how she got there. The police told her she couldn't drive home and waited at McDonald's with her until her ride came.

Thursday

Today was a fun morning. Most of our small group ladies went to visit Michelle.



Michelle is the one in the pink and is being induced next Friday!! She has been on bed-rest for a while now so we went to see her and took lunch to her today. I love these ladies so!!
I also had to take a picture of this while I was there. Those of you who have waited for it to be "time" for the baby to come will appreciate this.



All of her bags packed and ready by the door!

Friday

After work tonight we were sitting around the table eating and one of the kid's mentioned that it was Fun Fair night at school. We hadn't talked about going and there was only an hour left, but we loaded up and headed out.

The girls wanted to go straight to the "Balloon Men" to get these...



Kyla with her monkey hat.



Ella with her dog.

And I think about every boy was walking out of the school with these.



And the girls also had this done...



Saturday

This morning I got to take Bryce to ISSMA to perform his piano and vocal solos. He did a great job, especially since this was his first time competing.



He earned first place medals for both! Great job Bryce!!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have had a great week!!

  11. Oh my stars...does that pine wood derby bring back memories. It was a HUGE deal at out house. My son even won a few time and went to the finals and you could have knocked me over with a feather he even won that one too. The amazing thing is that he built the car all by himself, no help for Dad at all. It was great fun!

    Blessings
