The Gaillards: WHAT A WEEK!!

WE HAVE BEEN SO BUSY THIS WEEK, I KNOW I SAY THAT ALL THE TIME, BUT THIS TIME I AM SERIOUS. (THAT IS ACCORDING TO SAGE) I WORKED AT THE HOSPITAL TWICE THIS WEEK, AND I USUALLY ONLY WORK TWICE A MONTH. I HAVE ALSO BEEN BUSY SCRUBBING MY TILE FLOOR. THE GROUT THAT WAS LIGHT 15 YEARS AGO HAS DARKENED, SO I FOUND OUT THAT MR CLEAN MAGIC ERASER WOULD LIGHTEN IT. I THINK IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER, BUT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH 12 ERASERS SO FAR. MY FRIEND SHELLEY IS BRINGING MORE FROM TOWN TODAY, SO HOPEFULLY I CAN FINISH TODAY! CAN YOU TELL A DIFFERENCE?

GUS HAD CONNER OVER TO SPEND THE NIGHT LAST NIGHT. THEY HAD FUN; IT HAD BEEN AT LEAST A WEEK SINCE THEY HAVE SEEN EACH OTHER. YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE EASIER TO GET TOGETHER SINCE WE CAN SEE THEIR HOUSE ACROSS THE PASTURE, BUT LIKE I SAID IT HAS BEEN BUSY. LANCE GAVE THEM SOME FOOTBALL LESSONS LAST NIGHT; THEY WORKED ON PASSING AND THROWING. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE BIG ENOUGH TO PLAY!

GUS ASKED THIS MORNING IF THE DALLAS COWBOYS HAD CALLED BACK ABOUT COMING TO HIS BDAY PARTY TOMORROW. I TOLD HIM THEY HAVE PRACTICE AND SAID THEY COULD NOT COME THIS YEAR. HE IS PRETTY DISAPPOINTED. HE WANTED TO INVITE THE GRUVER GREYHOUNDS, TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS, AND DALLAS COWBOYS TO HIS PARTY. INSTEAD HE IS GETTING THE PRINGLE MORSE PRE-K CLASS.

THIS MORNING TATUM AND WYATT CAME OVER TO PLAY WHILE THEIR PARENTS WENT TO A FUNERAL. GUS WAS SITTING IN THE CORNER PRETTY SOON AFTER THEY GOT HERE FOR NOT SHARING. HE TOLD ME THAT ALL OF HIS TOYS WERE "COLLECTIONS" AND NO ONE COULD PLAY WITH THEM. AFTER BEING IN THE CORNER FOR 5 MINUTES HE DECIDED IT WAS OKAY TO SHARE. THEY PLAYED FOR A WHILE THEN LAYED DOWN TO WATCH A MOVIE. I ASKED GUS TO PUT HIS HANDS DOWN SO I COULD TAKE A PICTURE, BUT HE SAID HE WANTED THEM IN THE PICTURE. HE HAS BEEN DOING THAT IN ALL THE PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

SAGE AND TATUM PLAY SO GOOD TOGETHER. THEY IMMEDIATELY WENT IN SAGE'S CLEAN ROOM AND STARTED PLAYING. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THE ROOM WAS A MESS, BUT THEY WERE STILL QUIETLY PLAYING. BOYS AND GIRLS ARE SO DIFFERENT.
