Being the highly intelligent people that we are we have seen through that propaganda. Parent teacher conferences have nothing to do with kids at all. Parent teacher conferences are a chance for highly trained public education professionals telling mothers they are terrible parents and if they truly wanted their children to succeed they would do nothing but read to each of them for 90 minutes a day. Go figure.
After surviving the water boarding session we had basically a 4-day weekend that ranged from the a day at the beach, a day in the mountains, a day at soccer, a night at the emergency room (again), a quarantine situation with half the ward and and peaceful 100 decibel Sunday afternoon.

No worries it was a nice clean break of both bones in his forearm. He was able to con the floor nurse out of 10 otter pops. He had her worked up to 27 but she was able to request a renegotiation and got it back down to 10. How many 5 year old kids do you think would convince the ER nurse give him that many popsicles while waiting for a doctor and sitting there with a broken arm?
Sorry no pictures of the sunday afternoon meditation...
Yes this all happened this weekend.

Busy! Not all fun :(
What a whirlwind! and unbelievable what can happen in such a short time period with children.
I know Linda, I am exhausted by Sunday night most weekends! I am sorry you had such a bad experience with your parent teacher conference. It's not like that up here, we actually have nice teachers who like their kids and parents and offer positive feedback. But I wonder are you at Hillcrest? Is Ms Evans and Mrs. Smith still there?
I can't believe that about your ward and I heard about Crystal's hospital stint! Scary! Hang in there, Elizabeth is so darn cute!

So glad you guys haven't been bored lately! Hey, I need to know what color Linda's winter coat is? Let me know!
Kids... they'll do anything for sugar! Poor kiddo. It's nice to know life doesn't end when you have kids.
I love the picture of Ann Lake...that is a great picture for Christmas cards. Just an idea...
