A Loopy Little Week

So, my plan for this weekly update was to go through and tell y'all everything that went on this week. however, when I started trying to type it, I learned that it's quite a tedious job and I don't want people getting bored half way through, so I'll leave you with the highlights of each day and a few other things. Let's see how it goes shall we?

Highlights of each day:  After church on Sunday, my parents went out to eat with some old friends and the rest of us went home to feed children.
Johnna and I were the lunch masters of the day, we had roast and gravy with mashed potatoes.
Amazing I know! It's surprising that Johnna safely heated up the mashed potatoes considering the fact that the girl burns water. How? I have no idea. She can cook breakfast foods and tacos, anything else is..Well just inedible.
I can't really think of anything else really from Sunday so let's move on.

Monday, my parents went out for coffee with some friends, in the meantime we  had a miniature cat fight live in our home! Claudia and Johnna both upset for minor reasons started going at it, but don't worry Ali and I stepped in and solved the "crisis". Now both parties are fine and there were no injuries. Honestly they didn't stay mad for more than five minutes and everything was back to normal.

Tuesday was my parents 20th anniversary! Yay them! They went out to eat and saw the new planet of the apes movie.

Wednesday, My parents, Alison and Claudia went to the beach to visit some friends. Emma, Simon, Andrew and Tempi went to a different beach with our adopted grandparents. The rest of us went to church. Johnna and I started house and dog sitting for Gideon's occupational therapist.

Thursday, Gideon had therapy.
Johnna, Blake and I went wake boarding, and Johnna gashed her head with a board. Ouch! Don't worry, we super glued it!
Mark, Nikki and my parents went on a double date.
That night Johnna and I discovered we had locked ourselves out of the house we were house sitting. (It was actually Johnna who locked us out, but I won't play the blame game.. ;) We could still feed the dogs since they are outside dogs.

Friday was great! Simon got his halo taken off and is now in a neck brace! Woot woot!
Also, we had a home made sushi night as a late celebration for Alison's birthday, her gifts were 4 infinity scarves and a pair of knockoff Vans shoes. Downside of Friday, Pascal got sick. *sad face*
Also, the sushi was great but pretty much everything went wrong at first. While my parents were with Simon getting his halo removed, I was home trying to prepare the spicy crab and crab rangoon for dinner. I didn't realize that the crab had gone bad so I happily got everything mixed up so my mom would have less to do when she got home. Not to mention that I taste tested, and of course I put all of the crab in a refrigerator that doesn't work. During the time that I was messing with crab stuff, Alison was starting the sticky rice. When my parents got home they discovered the crab problem and had to go buy more. Then, they went to check the rice and it was a goopy mess, we had to make another batch of everything. My mother was not pleased at all. In the end we had a dinner that was supposed to start at 6:30, start at around 8:15.
The sushi was really yummy though!

Saturday(which is today) we had a late birthday lunch of Country Fried steak for Emma, her presents were; running gear and Tangled the movie.
My mom somehow magically figured out how to open one of the doors to the inconveniently locked house!
My parents are headed to Alabama to visit a friend, and while they're gone over the weekend Temperance is staying with church friends, Gideon is staying with Mrs.Val his physical therapist, Simon and Andrew are staying with our adopted grandparents and the rest are at home being tortured I mean watched by us older kids.

Extra Tidbits:  My Dad is on sabbatical right now, for those of you who don't know; a sabbatical is where someone takes time off, but still gets payed as if they were working. My Dad's sabbatical is for 30 days.
I'm really happy about it because he rarely takes time off and when he does it's usually for family reasons.

Out of the mouths of babes:
The  scene is I'm laying on the boys bed playing with a toy guitar, Simon hops on the bed beside me.
Simon: Two words, Si-ing.
Me: That's one word.
Simon;Oh, I meant two sybables.
Me: Smile in awe of his adorableness.

Simon haloless!!
