after 8 years or so of anticipation- we finally held the sharp family wrestling match. it only took approximately 12 minutes and it was over. and the winner was..... the boys! we figure between spencer's girth, preston's skills, and brigham's strategy of holding down will's legs- they had him pinned in much less time than we ever would've guessed. (aside from will's extremely poor apparel choice!) nonetheless- they beat him. and he's demanding a re-match because he thinks he had brig pinned in the very beginning.
it was fun, disturbing, and a little unpleasant. but i'm glad it's over, and the boys have hardly gloated at all. :)
today was preston's first day of high school. i can hardly wait to hear how it went and what he thought of it. i spent most of my day cleaning a friend's house. she has breast cancer and went in for surgery today. about 6 of us went in and deep cleaned their home. they are the salt of the earth- wonderful people- but not the cleanest. it was seriously exhausting labor. it made me feel like i should appreciate how clean my boys are compared to others.
it looked so much better when we left. will is taking the scouts over there tonight to mow their lawns and pull weeds. one of our friend's is over there right now cleaning their carpets. (his business) i keep thinking how great it will be for them to come home to all of that. then i thought- why do we wait until someone has cancer for us to all step in and help out? like we should be doing this kind of stuff all the time.
