Copy

I read Chad's e-mail to his sister and thought it was lots of good info, so I copied it for you..... We are surviving. It was hard for the kids to adjust to getting up for school again. We had some tired kids. But we are back into the swing of things. We had the pinewood derby on Thursday night. Reid got second place overall, he was really excited. Mom , Dad, and Melissa came. Tanner had winter ball last night. There were 5 couples in his group. They did all kinds of activities during the day. They ended it by coming to our house to watch a movie and have ice cream pie. They watched Kung Fu Panda. They only spent about 30 minutes at the dance. But it was too loud, so they went over to the Stake dance. He said he had a good time. He spoke in sacrament meeting today. By the time he took his date home it was 1:00. Then he worked on his talk until 2:00 (even though his Dad told him to work on it Saturday morning). So he went to bed at 2:00 and woke up at 5:00 to do his paper route. We thought he was going to fall asleep on the stand today. It was an adjustment today to go from 3:00 to 8:00 church today. We still made it there by 7:40. Jacob started basketball this week. He has 5 of his friends on the team, so he is really excited. Usually in soccer he ends up on another team than his friends. The other night was my turn to pick up him and 3 of his friends after practice. I went to pick them up and they were not there. His coach said another dad had picked them up. So I called Tarilynn and told her that someone else had picked them up, I was kind of mad. Then I went to lock up the store. Tarilynn called me about a ½ hour later and said Jacob was not home yet. While she was talking to me Jacob called her on another phone and said they were at the school and needed picked up. They had gone to another side of the school and had gotten locked out. They had been outside for over 30 minutes. Finally they had gotten in the building and found someone with a phone. I felt bad that I had left them.
