Just a quick update on the Sheffers.

E1 is getting ready for her first track meet on Wednesday. She is going to do the hurdles. Both Darren and I will be out of town and will miss her first meet. I took her down to buy her cleats Friday and she picked some snazzy silver ones. She has been threatened about the horrible things that will happen to her if she ever ever ever even THINKS about wearing her spikes into the house.
Her Young Women's group attended the Draper Temple Open House yesterday. She thought that was pretty cool.

Poor E2 got six teeth pulled Friday by order of the orthodontist. Oh the price we pay for beauty.
The only bright spot was that she scored a haul from the tooth fairy!

E3 passed off an important milestone this week - her times tables! Each child has the chance to earn a special award if they pass off their multiplication facts to the principal by a certain date. Her visit to the principal's office was last Tuesday. She about threw up before school she was so nervous. But now she is full of pride. She said she only missed one. She was nervous because Principal Terry told her that she had saved the hardest fact for last. It ended up being 0 times 0.

N had a fun Friday because Darren attended school with him for part of the day. It was the annual "Daddy/Donut" day. The dads come and read with their kids and the school buys snacks. This tradition may come to an end at our school as there have been some issues such as not all kids have dads, and donuts really are not the most healthy thing to be feeding our overweight American children. However "Caregivers/Carrotsticks" day just doesn't evoke the same feeling of excitement now does it?
