Fab Four

HELLO friends!!!  It seems like life has gotten pretty busy lately.  Over the past week I have spent a few days in Springfield MO, and am now watching four kids.  Springfield was a great get away for my sister, Beth, and I.  We shopped so so so much!  It was probably the best quality time we have spent together since I was 9.  I didn't take any pictures, but we visited the Bass Pro Shop and it was amazing!  While we were at Bass Pro we got to see tanks of rainbow trout and lots of different kinds of turtles.  The trout were really funny, they seemed to know when some one was standing near by and would leap out of the water and splash  you.  

As for the four kids, they are little ones that I have been watching for nine years!  The two littlest ones weren't born yet when I met the family.  On Thursday evening we had two soccer practices, a band practice, dinner, and a football game.  The youngest went home with a friend before the football game and burnt his finger on a hot glue gun!  The blister is HUGE.  We went to see a doctor that their dad has a practice with and he prescribed some ointment that has the side effect of turning skin blue.  They are all hoping that the finger turns blue so they can show it off.  

Tonight we are going to eat Mexican before we go to the home coming game.  I went to the pep rally so I could video tape the dance team, which the oldest is on.   The cheerleaders are still doing the same dances and cheers that they were five years ago--it was nostalgic.  All the little ones are excited about the game tonight.  The senior high football team literally hasn't won a game since my class graduated, so we will see what happens tonight.  It would be a good time for them to redeem themselves.  

This is probably the last I'll be able to write until after the wedding.  Please pray that everything goes well.
