The 2 weeks immediately following Disney, I had extra kids 2 days in a row. That makes for 2 busy weeks. I also had my blood drawn for a check up (my bad cholesterol is high-fun stuff) and I had a filling done last week. That was THE WORST FILLING EVER! No wonder I always cancel those appointments for 18 months in a row!
Last Thursday a friend (the mom of my Tuesday kids) and her 3 kids and me and my 2 kids (was that a run-on?) went to an indoor playground way up north of Indy. It took us about 40 minutes to get there. But it was so worth it. We were there for 3 hours. The kids got to play and we all ate lunch together. C still ended up doing an entire day of school that day. He did most in the car (we got to drive Daddy's cute new little car). He did very good.
Otherwise, I really don't know what we have been doing. Trying to keep up with the house, laundry, dishes, football............... So I've determined I'm going to try to be more productive. I don't know when, but I"m going to try.
This past Saturday we did get some shopping done. I needed hose/nylons/those horrid college thingys for winter. I never wear them in summer, but winter sometimes requires them. We are also looking for sneakers for both kids (can't find any) and Daddy needed new winter gloves.
Yesterday I got A LOT cleaned out of the garage. I'm tired of storing garage sale stuff and then making little/no money at the garage sale that I worked so hard on. So most of it went to Goodwill. I also had to rearrange some stuff to find a place to store the pool (18 feet around by 4 feet deep-just a little one) that we got from Jon&Teena (C wanted to know when we were going to set it up. It's a little cold don't you think?) I also started fixing one of our dining chairs that has been sitting in the garage for a long time. I asked my neighbor for some help and he is going to finish it hopefully tomorrow.
Last night Daddy and I spent 4 hours working on.........................check out the next post. Today I'm determined to get some Disney blogging done. Tomorrow I would like to start (that's the key word) organizing my scrapbooking stuff. I have also been busy doing some online Christmas shopping (I've found some AWESOME DEALS! Check out http://www.mysweetsavings.com/ She always has some awesome deals)
This week I have 2 different sets of kids 2 different days (did you follow that?) Saturday night we will do our new tradition for Halloween. Wednesday night for AWANA K is supposed to dress up as an animal. Check back for those pix. We still haven't finished our fence staining (on our list for whenever we have a few days without rain). Thank heavens for Green Socks who put up our swing set or that would still be in the garage too. (Oh I guess I need to blog about that too, huh?)
Oh and K got a big girl bed (frame/headboard), but no new mattress. We just put her crib mattress on top. Hopefully we will get her a new mattress this weekend. Then I will take some pictures and blog about it.
And I forgot to mention that C's children's choir sang in church a few Sunday's ago. Daddy videoed it but didn't get any pictures. In the class for this choir they had been collecting quarters for Bibles. They collected enough money for 49 Bibles to send to missionaries. That's 49 Bibles at $5 each! Good for them!
So that's been my life. In a very large nutshell/post. Now I will attempt to finish my Disney blogging--after tomorrow's post.
Here are a few pictures of the indoor playground that we went to last week.
