Whew! Time is flying! It's hard to believe that we leave for Disney two weeks from today.
Whooohoooo!
Let me get you caught up on last week.
Monday (Labor Day): We had our annual "Fourth of July" picnic. We couldn't have it on July 4
th because of
this. So just for this year we moved it to Labor Day. We had a good number of people show up (14 adults and 4 kids counting us). We grilled out hot dogs, ate some yummy sides and desserts, sat and talked, and played some outdoor games. It was a good time, but I FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES! After everyone left, we watched the
FSU vs Miami game. So sad.
Tuesday: I had 5 kids on Tuesday. It was a good but busy day. No major mishaps. Daddy had a business dinner and so wasn't home until almost bed time.
Wednesday: I had a doctor's appointment in the morning so the kids went across the street to play with the neighbors while I was gone. I got a few errands done while I was out and about too. Wednesday afternoon K decided not to take a nap. Just out of the blue. So she did "quiet time" on my bed. I MISS HER NAP! Wednesday night
AWANA started. This year K is in
Cubbies with me. She must have come and "visited" me at least 7 times--when she wasn't supposed to. We also started a new routine for
Cubbies and needless to say, it was very
chaotic. I was so ready for bed that night!
Thursday: The kids and I all had dentist appointments. The kids really don't have any fear of the dentist because we know our dental
hygienist very well. She's the mother of the 2 that come to my house on Tuesdays! The kids went first and had no
cavities. I went last and I have one
cavity. Daddy met us there and kept the kids in the lobby while I got my teeth done. Then we all went to lunch. (I have pictures of the dentist visit that will be on the next post.) Thursday night deserves a post all its own (hint: we have some new wheels)
Friday: WE STAYED HOME! and did a little bit of nothing. I did a little laundry and very little cleaning. We were dog sitting over the weekend, so the dog (not
Mugsy) got dropped off that afternoon. Friday night we went shopping after dinner. We got a new
carseat, Daddy got some shorts for Disney, I got some coffee for my cool
coffee machine, and a few odds and ends. Then we went and got ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery. YUM! When we got home, the dog and my children were a little wound up. So I let them go out back in the dark and run around with the dog. They thought that was so cool.
Saturday: After breakfast, we went to the park. The kids have been asking to take Daddy to this one certain park--the race car park. After the park, we went to the Fair on the Square in downtown
Danville. Let me tell you, it's nothing to write home about. There are booths but that's about it. We did get a good apple pie and a yummy cinnamon roll. On the way home we saw a cool patriotic display in front of the fire department. I made Daddy stop and take some pictures. It was really neat. After we got home, we cleaned out the garage-somewhat. I still have that crazy TV cabinet. Anyone want a huge TV cabinet? Besides that monstrosity, it looks pretty good. Then it was time for FOOTBALL! It was an awesome game day! There were a few upsets which made for some good games.
FSU played a no-nothing team and barely pulled it off. What's up with that? The good games made for a late night.
Sunday: We had a good church day, a great nap, a good lunch, a perfect ending to a good weekend.
Stay tuned for further updates.
C worked so hard this year. He is in Sparks, which is K-2 grade. He finished his book, reviewed his book, and finished a workbook. I am so proud of him. He is one smart cookie.
