- Tuesday was Charity's field trip to Antelope Island. I will have to have her tell more about that and upload the pictures she took on her camera. We had a good time.
Nate had a pretty overwhelming time of it while I was out partying with Charity. Homeowner stopped by, massive leaking in the laundry room that required the fix it guy all day. Mowing the lawn, and a whole bunch of extra kids over! We went out for a much needed date to see Avengers that night after we got the kids in bed. He's an amazing man. Incredible Dad. I can't believe how much he did that day and how much he put up with! I'm so grateful he was ready and willing to take care of it all. It meant so much to me. We absolutely LOVED the movie and we will definitely be taking the kids to see that one! Especially Noah. He will LOVE IT!!
- Wednesday was Field day! Wahoo! I love field day! I worked at the 50 yard dash station, so that was a lot of fun! It was fun to see how fast some of the kids can run! Kelly actually finished with the best girl time in the 3rd grade! Go Kelly! Even with her short little legs :). Erika sure hated field day this year though. Cried through the whole thing about wanting to go home and then when it was time to go, she kicked and screamed and cried all the way to the car (and on the way home, and when we got in the house, and for another 20 minutes after that...), drove me nuts. I hate it when she's like that! Luke and Noah did good though for the most part. I'm glad Nate ended up keeping them at home for the first half of it though until heading off to work, because none of them would have lasted too much longer.
- Thursday night Grandpa invited us out to Chuck E. Cheese. He had some kind of coupon that triggered his interest and so he spoiled. The kids had a lot of fun. They all had so many coupons, it was fun to watch them run around and blow them all. Erika dragged Charity around for the first half and then had Kelly take her around the second. She liked the picture taking one :). Noah had Bradley to show him around. I saw very little of them except when Noah was passing off his ee-oh to us. Luke went around trying to find the machines that were giving out the most tickets. This is how he spends most of his time in these places. Funny kid. Bradley had a lot of fun showing Noah around and I did see him spending a considerable amount of time at the hoop shooting one :). Cute boy. Kelly was an animal, she got around to everything. Even up to the stage to shake her bootie for the whole room to see. She's so funny. Charity seemed to be racking in the tickets the whole time. I'm sure they all benefitted from her good luck. They all put their tickets together in the end and were able to get a few little trinkets. It amazes me how little you can walk out with from those places! Although I do have to say, the pizza/food was a lot better than I had anticipated. The last time we went to Chuck E. Cheese was in Alaska I think. And the pizza there was awful. I really think they were heating up frozen pizzas in a microwave and calling it good, there. It was nasty. So that was a relief. Grandpa Hatch seemed to enjoy watching everyone play and it was fun for Nate and I to sit and visit with him! That doesn't happen everyday. Usually the kids are so demanding of his attention, we don't get to talk much. So that was an added bonus for the night.
