Weekly Wrap-Up

In which we enjoy life, despite a minor setback!

Sunday:
After church and Sunday school, the weather was so amazingly warm (upper 70's) that my husband decided to open up the camper and do some cleaning.  We all enjoyed some time just relaxing out there too.  It won't be long now!  

Monday:
Celebrated the end of homeschool gym.  Sad to say good bye to new friends, though.  Hopefully we will see them this fall when it starts up again.

We went to lunch at a grocery store salad bar, which can't be beat for freshness.  Here was my lunch. 

Doesn't he look 13?  I mean, look at that forced smile!  

We also went to the library after lunch.  They had been begging me for a couple weeks.  I was not in a hurry to go as I had a 70 cent fine to pay!  Now my conscience is clear. 

Spent my hour of solitude during dance catching up on my reader.  Read a great post about 12 year old girls,  too.

On the bad news side, my poor dear husband came down with a bad cold today.  


Tuesday:

The sun is shining!  Friends are coming over after lessons! What more could  we want?  This was also the day of the yogurt experiment.  More on that later.  All was well until the boys started to complain of sore throats.  *sigh*

Getting ideas for her new doll house she is building.

Wednesday:

 Trevor has a low grade fever now.  Are we all doomed?  I am taking my vitamins and washing my hands! 

My van's gas tank is on fumes, so there is no running around today.  I want to fill up on next week's budget, which starts on Friday so that this week will be a really good week.

Thankfully the boys were well enough to do school work. But Trevor now has a fever of 101.6.  Ryan seems better though. 

No AWANA tonight! Can you say happy dance time?  Having an evening without any running around will be a treat. We decide to stay up a little later than usual to watch an old movie as a family. 

The doll house bedroom.

Thursday:

May need food today, but I think I can squeak out another meal or two.  We certainly need gas if I am going to get the food.  Also need to take kids who are able to karate this evening.  So, I guess I will get gas tonight.  This tank almost lasted 3 weeks.  That's pretty good.  I really try to do all my running locally and in batches.

I let the kids sleep in yesterday and today.  I am thankful we homeschool so that they can get extra rest when they are not well. And, when they are not well, we can still get lessons of some sort done.   

My afternoon treat. 

Light Iced Coffee

8 oz. milk of your choice (I use skim)

Leftover coffee (about 4-6 oz.)

Sweetener to taste (I use 2 Stevia packets) 

Pour milk into your glass.  Add sweetener and stir.  Add ice cubes.  

Pour coffee into milk and stir.  Top with light whipped cream. 

Friday:

Wondering if the standing weekly play date will have to be cancelled. At the very least, Trevor won't be participating.  Thanks to my nice friend, who let Ryan and Grace come there.  I kept Trevor, although he didn't like that.  He's been fever free all day, but my rule for getting near other children is to be fever free without Tylenol for 24 hours.  Sorry Trevor. 

Also needed to get food for certain.  I was unable to put that off again. Grace and I headed out this morning while the boys did some of their independent work.  

We will need to do a little reading to fill in some holes from the week.  I guess we will do that tomorrow.

Ryan finished his Math U See Zeta book today as well.  Time to order again!

Saturday:

This might be the last working Saturday for my dear husband.  No promises.  Can't count on it.  Should not even be thinking about it.  *grin*

Going to put some effort into the house again.  I feel like doing more purging! 

Need to make a treat to take to my grandma.  We're going to see her tomorrow after church.

Always the clown!

My Memory Verse This Week:

Ecclesiastes 9:10

 "Whatever you do, do well.

For when you go to the grave,

 there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom."

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you've had a great week, too!
