So this is were one of the partners had to carry a cow tongue while wheel barreling the other down a slip and slide covered in maple syrup. Then they were supposed to bounce on the ball and slide down the blow up slide landing in a thing of pork and beans. They had a lot more games. Too many to write. I had to lead a group of 5th and 6th grade girls for girl talk one evening. It rained almost all day Saturday. She had such a great time.

Then they had to partner up and lay on the ground head to head. They then had to spoon pudding in each others mouth. None got into their mouths.

We Survived Camp!!!

So Victoria was on the yellow or gold team. They came in third for their round of messy games. They had to pass cow intestines over their heads then under the next person. Gross! Lots of screaming.

Getting Old Stinks!

So Victoria's cheer coach has suggested that they exercise at home by jogging to get their endurance up. I told her to ask her dad. They started running, but with Brent's surgery haven't been able to. I got this bright idea that I would start with doing it with her, at night of course so no one could see how stupid I looked gasping for air. So she talked the entire time, did cartwheels next to me on the sidewalk, and even in some cases ran backwards looking at me and making sure I was OK. Which I wasn't. She ever so graciously kept reassuring me that it would be fine if I need to rest, which I did on numerous occasions. What happened? What started out as a good idea ended up being very depressing and quite annoying:)
Brent is doing better. He got his stitches out on Friday and is gradually able to get back to his routine, which he did by working all day Friday.
Zach's hands and feet are still dry. The doctor said it was from his shoes, although I don't know how that happens to your hands.
They hired a lady to help with the front office at cheer. It has helped a lot. Still so much to get done and not enough time to do it. Victoria and I head off to Prescott for camp this weekend. It should be lots of fun. Look for pictures.

What a crazy couple of weeks. Brent was in the hospital this weekend. He had an emergency appendectomy. He started throwing up again and we decided to take him to the ER. His appendix didn't rupture, but it was infected. We hope that this takes care of it. We won't know for a couple of more weeks. Victoria is doing good, however we have had problems with her braces every week since she has gotten them on. Mainly that the wire keeps coming out. Last week I got so sick of going back I got needle nose pliers and stuck it back in myself, but it came out again this weekend. They are having a patriot assembly tomorrow and she has to tell why she is proud to be an American. She says because we treat everybody as equals, of course I'm thinking that the statement is up for debate. As for Zach I just got off the phone with is pediatrician and we are going in at 11am today to take a look at his skin on his hands and feet. The last week or two they have been dry and now they are cracking and bleeding.
