Cecily did get her glasses on Monday:
Tuesday was a crazy day for Rob and I with big meetings in Salt Lake that may result in interesting things (and, at least for me, was completely fascinating as we discussed women's issues in the church at Deseret Book):

Wednesday, I caught Marri and the beehives doorbell ditching their Grandma service projects:
Thursday, both Scott and I had yearly appointments (and both are healthy) as well as shopping day.
On Friday kids did get new books at the B1G1 Book Fair on Friday after doing Dads and Donuts with Rob(and I love when they are all reading at the same time):
We began with soccer games. Cecily was first and played great, especially defense (and they won). Then Sophie had her game, which they also won, and Sophie made not 1, not 2, but 3 different goals (and almost 4, one hit the top of the goal, came back down and another player kicked it in.) And then while we were at Sophie's game (or driving back to get us) Scott kicked his first goal in! Wow. And sad we weren't there.
Then we hit a nearby garage sale and scored some awesome dress shirts for Rob. Over to get the soccer rewards at Smiths, where they were having customer appreciation day, so we got cake and won a package of cookies.
And then down Lagoon for another day of fun. This time it was gorgeous, which means there were a lot more people. No more jumping right on the rides :(. In fact we averaged about two rides an hour. But we had a lot of good family time, we rode Rattlesnake rapids all together and the train. And the kids went on other rides with Rob and I. Mar and the boys stopped for an hour and so Sophie, Steven, Spencer and Marri went on blast off. Then we finished out with a family ride on the ferris wheel, where I pulled out Marri's last baby tooth at the very top. Yeah, it was awesome.
On our way home, we stopped at the DI where I scored an amazing book deal (like worth around 100-200 dollars) as well as some good clothes for the kids. Then dinner. I told the kids that if they didn't eat a lot besides the soccer treats and didn't whine about being hungry, we'd go to the new pizza buffet here in North Ogden. The kids were so excited (and hungry) so it ended up being a ton of fun, trying new salad, pasta, and pizza combos.
Finally, we let the girls sleep outside since it was just unseasonably warm. They quite enjoyed it and, as Sophie said, "one of the best days ever."

That's so funny. I love unexpected seeings. We saw some friends at Lagoon that we hadn't seen for years. Rob wasn't thrilled with me making him stop for some stuff, so I had to rib him afterwards with a few "aren't you glad we stopped?
