Another Week

On Thursday, Jerry officiated two games......needless to say, he was exhausted. We shuttled him to his games and went to Landon's open house for his pre-school. He was so cute with his teacher. He kept calling her by name, "Mrs. Shakspear" and talking about all the things he would do. Lauren was well behaved and we stayed for a while filling out papers and learning about the cirriculum. Then we went shopping for lunch boxes. Landon picked a Spiderman lunch box and Lauren a Dora lunch box. It was quite the Wal-mart adventure. We picked Jerry up and headed home. One important detail about the day I forgot to mention was the period of time when Lauren locked Landon and I out of the house. It was really exciting....actually Lauren had a great time. She looked through the window and laughed every time we asked her to let us in. After she got tired of laughing, she began to meow like a kitten. It was great. Luckily, my friend Kendra was just leaving and I was able to call Jerry on her cell phone to come and rescue us. He had been doing interviews with the CEO of Jacobsen and luckily, they were on a lunch break. They are hiring a new project superintendent. When Jerry gave Lauren the lecture about not locking the door she just said, "Right." Like she knew all along it was the wrong thing to do. We spent Friday getting ready for company to come. We had a visit from Uncle Rod and his friend Jamie. During the preparation, I fell on the stairs and sprained my toe while trying to put Lauren in time out. We have now decided the timeout spot will have to be downstairs to protect my feet and anything else that may break or be sprained. Shortly after the fall, Lauren decided to drink bubble bath. I called poison control and they said she just needed to be monitored. She spit in a bowl for a while but that was it. She was really excited when they called back and wanted to talk to them. She is such a character. So Rod came on Friday and stayed until Saturday. We tried to convince him to stay longer but he did not cooperate. We had fun visiting with him. He and Jerry had a meeting on Friday night and we had Brad and Liz over for dinner as well. We left on Saturday and went to Las Vegas. Of course our first stop was In and Out for a healthy lunch and then to Dave and Rebecca's. They blessed their new baby Evelyn on Sunday. We had a nice time visiting with them and their family. Dave and Jerry were able to attend the temple together which I know they enjoyed. We came back on Sunday night ready to be home and grateful Jerry had Monday off of work.
