Events of the Week

While babysitting last week, Mandy visited the Collins Hill Pool for the first time and came back talking about how great it was and that we ought to go. We decided to go Monday afternoon and planned to take Bethany Greer with us, but instead we took Anna, a next- door friend of Mandy's. The pool was fun. There were two slides: one blue, which was longer but slower, and one yellow, which was shorter and faster. There was a "river" where you just surf the current and a whirlpool, in which you go in wide circles. The slides were enjoyable, except for the long lines. There were lifeguards all over the place, ordering everyone to get out of certain areas a certain way, telling everyone to wait in line (which didn't always work), and warning everyone to move away from the bottom of the slides. When we first arrived, there were few people. As the two hours passed, more parents and their kids arrived to take over. While Mandy, Anna, and I swam and went down the slides, Mom sat at a table and studied for her midterm, which is coming up soon. All in all, it was a good afternoon.

This week has been pretty lazy for us otherwise. Seth finished his second week of work and is due to get a paycheck soon. On Tuesday, I went with some ladies from church to clean a family's house. It was nice to be productive and to help a fellow believing family. That same day, Mandy babysat the Abraham girls and then spent the night at Sunny's house (i.e. Uncle Josh's house). She went to a pool party for a toddler from our church and then ended up spending the night at Bethany's house. The two would have schemed to stay another night, but plans did not allow them to. It was odd not to have Mandy at home for two days of the week. That made chores interesting since we were all trying to figure out who should do Mandy's chores. Tonight, we are having pizza. A Little Caesars opened near our house, and we can get three large pizzas and crazy bread for about $15. Cheaper than eating out elsewhere. Nothing is on our plans for tomorrow except probably finishing up painting.

Oh, and small announcement. I believe we Cunninghams are seriously thinking about moving. We have a few more things to do, and then we will put our house on the market. If we move, that means Mandy and I may get our own rooms. This means planning decorating. It will be interesting to see what we will come up with.
