Parentheticals

On Thursday we got a quarter cow from "cedar sage beef"  Also on Thursday the kids invited the Plastows over for a late over. Timmy got a house in wobbly life. Sara was The Mastermind of the entire late over, and she engineered them getting pizza and root beer floats however she didn't actually enjoy it apparently. "I was really tired" she says, and then adds "I don't even know what we were doing" Friday night to Saturday morning the ward had a father's and sons campout. We had hot dogs and chips and soda for dinner with s'mores afterwards. "There were so many sodas!" Timmy comments. Mike got the kids to play two rooms and a boom in the evening and then we went to sleep in our small tent. In the morning we had pancakes and bacon and OJ for breakfast and played more 2r1b. Since then most of the kids that played have been asking to play again, so it was definitely a success. Gideon recalls that in the morning we found a smore next t...

This last week was hard to remember, however, here are the things that we do remember: Over the past couple weeks Mike has been fixing up the ghost music box that we purchased on eBay, and it is now working perfectly well. He lubricated it and reassembled it slightly tighter and he also printed some new ghosts to spin around on top. He found some magnets that had smooth slightly curved bottoms and printed holes in the bottom of the ghost figurines that match the size of the magnets so the magnets can be wedged into the bottom of the figurines which makes them spin around in a way very similar to how the original ghost did. Mike's ghosts are slightly larger than the originals, however they spin around slightly better than the originals. Mike also 3d printed a bunch of dragons, since Logan wanted some for one of his school projects, and then Timmy and Boo wanted some too. On Saturday morning the Poulson's invited us over to see the pumpkin races that were going on in the lake nea...

Timmy attended his martial arts class again on Monday and Tuesday. He had a lot of fun and learned more things. On Wednesday Sara went to acting class, which she also enjoys a lot. Alison and Sara took the train to get to the class, which took about the same amount of time to get there as the car because of traffic. The eventual plan is to have Sara take the train to get to the class, however it doesn't seem like that is going to happen immediately. On Thusday we went to a combined Waters family birthday party. The party was at Buck's house since he was also apparently having a birthday too. We ate potluck, had cake, played No Thanks, and various other things. It was pretty fun. On Friday we were invited to see a horse show by the Poulsons. Becky went into labor, so the adult Rogers were not there, however we had fun with the grandparents and the younger Rogers. The horses were impressive, and we also saw the knights do jousting and other combat sports. The four horse "Yod...
