Whata week at the Morleys!!!
So, not to long ago I had the priviledge to help care for the Morley Children while Michele and Emily went to Girls Camp and Jed carried on with his duties. (lots and lots of duties LOL! He's a very busy man.) It was a week filled with lots of good times, and a lot of other emotions, many times I felt lucky to make it through the day without major injuries or death. Nonetheless, it was a week to remember. And here are a few of our greatest memories.
Everyday after chores were done, Sarah (our designated 4-wheeler driver) would jump on the 4-wheeler and give lots of rides to lots of kids. They came up with the idea to tie a rope around the back of the 4-wheeler to a snow sled and pull it all around the field, over jumps, in and out of holes, dirt spewing everywhere. As you can see, if you were on the sled a helmet was a must. The kids had a blast doing this and spent countless hours, getting dirty and laughing their heads off. Thanks Sarah for the fun on the 4-wheeler.
K, this here was a sight to behold and a hilarious story. Sarah pulled this stop sign out of the garage, (STOP on one side and YIELD on the other) put a whistle around her neck, stood on the other side of the street from her house and proceeded to blow her whistle and stop cars as they came down the road. As cars stopped, Sarah would either, blow her whistle again and have the other children cross the street to where she was standing or just chit chat with the drivers of the cars that stopped. It was so funny! After a while of doing this they decided to up the Anni on what to do for the cars that stopped. So, they got a package of Chocolate Chip Cookies and if cars stopped they graciously handed over cookies to the passengers of the cars that stopped. Cute Ethan also decided to give his "famous" paper airplanes out to those that stopped also. There were lots of very nice people that stopped to join in the fun and some not so nice that sped on by, way too fast with kids on the side of the road.
Look closely at Tessa's right eye. Tessa was stung by a bee in her right eye lid. Immediately we gave her allergy medicine and started icing her eye. Tessa was a trooper. This picture was taken to of her to reassure her mom and dad that all was well with their little girl. Tuesday we had Quinn, Megan and Tessa join the fun. Wednesday we had a great time with Hansen and Jens joining us too.
Thursday after chores were done we decided to get out of the house for the day. Dear ol' Jed brought me some money, so we went to Dollar Tree to get sand, sun and fun stuff. We made a quick detour to Wendy's to fill our bellies and then ventured onto the Spanish Fork Reservoir. We had such a good time, getting out of the house, swimming, digging in the sand (for lack of a better word, although it was more like tiny pebbles) and enjoying one anothers company in the great outdoors.
