The First Week of June

On June first, we went to the ward potluck and it was a beautiful day. We made Dole's Baby Romaine Salad with cranberries, walnuts, feta, and green apples with a curry dressing and it was so yummy (google the recipe). It actually got eaten. On June 2nd, we cleaned up our house, then we cleaned the church as a family, and we reeeally cleaned it--like bleaching the toilets, returning materials to the closets and libraries, cleaning the erasers, etc. It was fun and exhausting--it took us almost 4 hours! Rich rewarded us with a fun family lunch at the Pop Stand followed by a nice nap. When I got up, I started making pies and crock pot dinner for Sunday. While I was rolling out pie crusts, Addie and Heidi came in to the dining room to show me a dance they'd made up. During their dance, Addie slipped don the wood floor and landed on her wrist. She turned pale and wailed, so Rich took her to the ER (all of these pix are from the phone)...

Dr. Coleman and the nurse gave Ad a temporary cast.

All better! She now has a cool, custom molded removable cast for a few weeks.

On Tuesday June 5th, Rich took the kids to the model train museum in the basement of the Depot. They loved see ign the hippie van in the model.

check out those tracks!

cute model town, not unlike ours.

June 8th was the last day of school. James did a program with his kindergarten class, and then graduated to first grade!

PROUD FIRST GRADER!

The kids' releases were staggered, which means it took a whole hour to get them all out of school--James at 11, Heidi at 11:30,  Addie at 11:55. We went to the lagoon and enjoyed Subway sandwiches while Niles chased geese and tried to get in the water the whole time. Afterward we went to Western Drug's sods fountain for sundaes, then the kids all had birthday parties. It was a fun end-of-school!
