Sunday

Today was a beautiful Sunday in Iowa, in my opinion. My sister is sitting right beside me reading as I write this and she said, "beautiful?, personally I thought it was hot, humid and yucky!!!" Well, it really was pretty oppressive today but I chose to look on the bright side Leah!!! Leah and her 2 kids, Madison and Quinn are here for the week. They are staying at my parents but will spend a lot of time here. They came over after church today, around noon, and are still here at 9 p.m. We can't get rid of them! :) The Cubs are playing right now and we have been waiting all day to have a "cubs party". We ordered pizza and THE CUBS ARE LOSING! They are threatening to leave and give up on them, fair weather fans they are!

The kids had an awesome day playing. They played on the water slide for about 4 hours this afternoon! Jeff let Madison and Jenna drive the 4-wheeler all by themselves so they were quite thrilled. Jenna gave us a concert on her guitar, she is quite good. And Haley, after I picked a cucumber from the garden, said that she needed slices on her eyes so she could "relax". Our question was, "why does a 4 year old need to relax anyway?!"

Jenna and I start volleyball camp tomorrow at 9, and then we are going to my parents house. My dad is getting a pony tomorrow so we will spend the day out there. It will be a fun week. I am also recruiting my sister and mom to help in my classroom so we will spend time there, and we have waited to go school supply shopping until this week so that the cousins could go together. Check back in for more fun pictures of this week.
