Mattocks Family News

The sun is shining brightly, not a cloud in the sky.
It is an absolute beautiful day.
I put the boys to bed a little early last night, they have been going to bed at like 11pm and so last night I told them they have to be in bed before 10pm so we got out of church at 8:30 and stopped by the store on the way home and then came home and ate some food and then off to bed they went. Well that meant they were up with the sun this morning. So we were early for school but they didn't mine, that just meant more play time for them. I was very thrilled to pull out of my garage and see the sun shining so brightly, everything all dried out from our week of rain and wet. Now hopefully that was the last of it for awhile and we can stay dry, that wetness just bugs the fire out of me.

Last night before church Dallas and Dakota were rough housing as usual and of course as usual Dallas got the bad end of it. So ended up going to church with not only his large bump on the right side of his head but right next to his left eye Dakota kneed him in the face and it was quite swollen. Of course I don't think once the pain went away he minded too much because after church I asked him did anyone say anything. His first response was " yea all the girls, (and he started naming every one) were wanting to look at it and wanting to know what happened" then he stopped and then said " oh yea and Country and" he named a few others. haha So I think he kind of liked the attention of all the girls feeling sorry for him.
Well Coda got his pay back though, just as they were getting ready for bed Dallas threw a football (yes, in the house) and it just happened to hit Coda right upside the head. Amidst his crying I had to whisper a reminder to him that he should just consider it a payback for the things he has been doing to Dallas, that made him quite crying anyways as he thought that over and I guess he agreed because that was the end of that. :))

Bro Derek preached last night. He did a very good job. Preached about the Light.

Today my new contacts are in so I have to go to Costco and pick them up. Hopefully Dallas glasses come in soon, he is really having a hard time seeing without them.

We took Coda in for his eye exam and much to his disappointment his eyes are perfect. Thank God for that.

Sonia stayed the night last night. The new thing at my house is to play hide and seek. The neighbor kids come over and thats what they play, Sonia comes over and thats what they play, when Isaac and Avery were over on Sunday they even had me playing and then they made me hide! I tried to tell them I was too big but how do you tell 5, 6, 7 and 8 year old no when they gang up on you,I was feeling nice I suppose. haha. The reason being I think is that most of our stuff is packed so there are alot of empty cabinets and closets. And I bout went through the roof when they decided since the fridge is mostly empty it would be a good hiding place too and Coda made use of it!!!!!!!!! When he was finally found that was the end of that hiding spot.
