Its been an interesting week to say the least. Starting with a trip to the doctor on Monday because Levi claimed he had legos down in his ears and ending with coming home to a freezer not running on Friday evening. In between those minor events things were even crazier. Aaron has had a rough week at work late nights, problems, and working on Saturday....he's just been covered up! I had some really great parenting moments, but Friday was finally here and we were headed to the woods. Our weekly hikes are the highlight of our school weeks. Yesterday it was sunny, crisp, and started perfectly. We took a picnic lunch read Vivaldi's sonnets while listening to the Four Seasons Concertos, introduced the kids to a painting by Millet and then we trudged out on a favorite trail with our friends. Lots of great memories by the lake, in the lake, in the woods. We returned to our cars to find our passengers windows smashed in and both mine and my friend's wallets stolen. So we sat in the quicly dopping sun and temperatures with wet, tired, hungry children waiting for the police to come make a report. I even tried very hard to get in touch with a park ranger. I was really upset that once I did reach someone by phone at the nature preserve. They seemed quite unconcerned, said it happens a lot, and to never leave anything in your car. After and hour and a half, two police officers, we finally headed home and still never saw a ranger. We have hopes that the cameras may have caught the incident and since my credit card was used at a nearby gas station we may be able to get surveillance from their cameras. Whoever did this was just a lousy person! Who steals from messy, beat up minivnas?! On my, very cold, drive home I drove through a wreck.....as in the wreck happened in the far south bound lane and one car shot across my northbound lane and into the ditch as I drove through shards of taillights!!!! I wanted to kiss my front door when I finally got the kids home safely. Sent Becca down to grab some frozen pizzas for dinner and thats when we discovered the freezer was thawing and all the apples I had frozen from the orchard a loss. Can you believe it?! As bad as it sounds though, we are thankful that Aaron's crossed wires fried parts and not him, the children and I were not hurt during the robbery, and I was NOT in a bad wreck on my way home. A few rotten apples is nothing! Thanks to God for all His protection!

It was soooo cold, but the kids just can't resist getting their feet wet!
Returned to this disaster......
The kids thought meeting the police and playing in his car was fun. Levi told the officer as soon as he arrived in his funny fast voice and mispronounced words "I will help you, I've got stuff in my pack and I looked for clues. They used this rock as a weapon to smash our windows". The officer just smiled and nodded. LOL
