A Saturday.

Another fun-filled day in the life of the Newton clan:


7:50a.m. Jake goes to the church for a scout meeting to prepare for a "dogsled race" and campout. More details as it gets closer.



8:00a.m. An oil change for the van.

9:00a.m. Ben plays basketball at the YMCA with Dad and Rachel to cheer him on.

10:00a.m. Enjoying some blustery time at the park while Dad, Ben and Rachel wait for Jake to arrive.





10:30a.m.-2:00p.m. Jake and Ben compete at a Pokemon "tournament" at a local card shop. (Dad forgot to take pictures when he dropped off Taco Bell. We'll have to take some next Saturday to document this unique development in our Saturday routine.) Ben is certainly the only one there coming from a sporting event...



10:30-2:00 Dad and Rachel run errands...







10:30-2:00 Mom attends a "lia sophia" jewelry party and gets some downtime...Isn't this set cute? Find a local party rep to order your jewelry THIS month. In January you pay full price for your first item and 1/2 off two additional items! I was able to get this set and some cubic zirconia earrings for less than $60. That's a screaming deal. lia sophia has a website where you can find a consultant.






5:00 We forego one of Ben's indoor soccer games to attend the Ward party....


The kids have fun running wild--not unlike a pack of wild wolves--even Rachel joins in the fun this time! The boys found time to do some service, tying scarves. Good job, boys!

9:00p.m. Time for bed, please?!?...
