Monday, August 22 - I was at the library with my kids when mom texted this picture to me. I started crying right there in the middle of the library! Poor little Kam! :*( He was at his grandpa's house and pulled a snow globe down right on his face. He got 5-6 stitches. Katie was at work so they called Kenny and he rushed to the hospital to hold his little boy while they stitched up his face. So sad!
Tuesday, August 23 - The start of something new...clean eating! This was Simon's lunch! This is day 1 and we are determined to change some bad habits we've gained. I'm very glad he is doing this with me! It's motivating!! Also motivating was vomiting everything in my stomach today. :( I think I got food poisoning so eating was NO temptation for me today! Haha!
Wednesday, August 24 - We had a school supply drive with the Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary. A teacher from an under privileged school came and spoke to us then we sorted and organized the donations. The goal was to get 80 of each item but we surpassed that by at least double of most things. As far as books, I think there were several hundred! It was wonderful!
Thursday, August 25 - Nothing like waiting until the night before a book report is due to start working on it! Luckily, Nick read the book far in advance. We just hadn't put his project together yet which was a shirt with a drawing representing the book he read. He read "I Survived the Attack of September 11, 2001". I wanted him to read it to get an understanding of what happened. Especially with the 15-year milestone coming right up. It was really great talking to him about what happened while we worked on his shirt. And it turned out way better than I had imagined! It's just Sharpie marker, black, and gray acrylic paint. Believe it or not, he really did most of the work himself!
Friday, August 26 - Nick has another school project due next week. Yes, I think his teacher is trying to kill me! :) He and Wil Christensen teamed up to do service at the local nursing home. They went for a couple of hours a few weeks ago and read to the residents. Yesterday they got together to bake cookies then today they took them around to the people. Everyone was so sweet and so happy to see the kids' bright smiling faces. He is gaining so many valuable experiences!
Saturday, August 27 - I don't know exactly how I feel about this picture! I guess I'm glad that the boys went out and did something super fun together. All of the McCullough and Pearson boys went out to the West side of Utah Lake to go shooting. They had a blast! Bonus: us girls went to lunch with my parents! Las Glorias was SOOO good after a week of healthy clean eating! :)
Sunday, August 28 - We did our annual Silver Lake picnic. It was simply beautiful up there! We had lots of fun as a family. I really do love this tradition...once we get there. ;)
