I Cut Steven's Hair!

I had this all written up on Sunday, but the internet then stopped working... so in short, sorry this is out late!

It's hard to believe this week has already gone by. I don't remember it being a quick week, but reflecting back, nothing grand happen and last Monday seems forever ago.

Some highlights include giving Steven a hair cut, hanging with Jessica and Adam, transplanting the plants, ordering internet and being with 4 infants for... 3 hours!

Monday for FHE I cut Steven's hair! I think it turned out great. What say you?

Then came transplanting. I did the marigolds and romaine lettuce on Tuesday. Then Friday I finished transplanting the green beans and carrots. This is what they currently look like! (You kinda have to look closely)

Wednesday Steven ordered internet. We got the first part Saturday and it looks like we actually have to wait til tomorrow to pick up the package... actually, with Steven doing 12 our days this week again... not sure how we're gonna pick up the package that should be coming tomorrow. The office is only open 9-6 and we're not home til 7.... darn. Looks like we'll have to put up with flaky internet 'til Friday. Oh well.

Thursday Adam and Jessica came over in which they taught me how to play Egyptian Rat Screw (ERS). basically it's war and speed and slap jack all combined. You split a deck of cards into piles equal to the number of players. You're suppose to play fast by flipping the top card of your deck over and put it into the pile in turn (play goes clockwise). If you play a face card of an Ace, then the next player has to put down a curtain number of cards onto the pile. A Jack you only have to put 1 card down, a Queen- 2, a King- 3, and an Ace- 4. When you put the number of cards down in response to the face card that was played you are hoping to play another face card in the process. If you do, the next player has to put down the number of cards according to the face card played. If no face card is played then the person who last played a face card gets the pile (which you want!).You also want to pay attention to the cards played for doubles (J&J, 6&6, 2&2, etc.) and sandwiches (626, J4J, 9Q9, etc.) anyone can slap on and claim the pile. And if you are playing with more than one person, if you run out of cards in your deck, you can try and slap in again before one person gets all the cards. You play to the left and who ever takes the pile plays a card to start the pile building again. Needless to say, I was owned! Jessica and Adam are way too good.

Friday the Infant teacher was sick, so I was in the baby room for a long time! It was pretty awesome. I'm definitely getting better at juggling the mass of them and knowing who's truly needing attention versus those who just want attention. I opened and closed the class room. And as an added bonus the Preschool 2 class was in another room so I was able to clean in peace :) It helped me get home more quickly.

Yesterday was gonna go skating and play a big game of Magic, but plans fell through. Instead we went on a long walk and got some bike equipment and said "Hi" to Jessica real quick. Then we went home and Steven got the internet stuff set up as best he could (and now we wait hoping we'll be able to get the second half before Friday).

Hope you all have had a good week. The suns out and Steven and I are off to go grill some kabobs!
