How we Survived!?!

As previously posted, our parents abandoned us for a little while.  They are returning late tonight.  I am still wondering how we made it through this last week, so I will go over it with/for you.

Thursday: Go to school, water polo party, come home and try not to kill each other during dinner dishes.
That wasn't too bad.

Friday: Go to Seminary (at 5:55 a.m.), go to school, try to get everyone to and from sports and friends' houses, watch Tangled.  Ok, still not bad.

Saturday: My 14th birthday.  I felt extremely abandoned on this day.  First Marta wouldn't let me out of bed for breakfast preparations.  Then I went downstairs and had Cinnamon Toast Crunch, opened presents, and hurried to get ready for the Memorial Service for our friends that passed away (see previous posts).  While there, Marta and I performed four times and Luke performed thrice.  Do you know how hard it is to sing when you are crying?  Overall, the service was beautiful.  It was at our local LDS (Mormon) Chapel and we had the gym and overflow behind it open and there were still people standing.  Whoa!  Then we went home and Marta went to an old friend's birthday party (on my birthday!).  Later we went to our ward Trunk'r'Treat.  No pictures, sorry, our costumes were not very exciting in any way though, so you aren't missing much.  When we finally went home, we were undecided on what to do, so we played Wii Sports.  Extremely tiring. ;)

Sunday: Church and dinner at the Richardson's.  Pumpkin Waffles with some special sort of sauce.  It was amazing!

Monday: Seminary, school (Marta wasn't feeling well and stayed home that day), Levi went trick-or-treating with the Richardsons, and Luke and I went to the Deardens' for dinner and party.  There is too much candy at our house!  Still not awful...

Tuesday: Seminary, school, water polo for Marta, and homework (???).  Ok, that sounds easy...

Wednesday: Late Seminary and school, take Levi to swimming, get Marta's water polo bag to her so she will have it after practice (she forgot it), pick up Little Ceaser's, and go to the Mutual activity which was broom hockey.  I guess today was the only truly crazy one.

We are so glad that Mom and Dad are coming back and have several surprises for them for when they finally get home.

It was a great learning experience, but I like it better when Mom and Dad are here.

Love, Tess

Mom and Dad were delighted with the "surprises" though some still need to be cleaned up. Home!
