So as not to overwhelm you all and keep you coming back for more, I will make this post in segments!
With life being what it is, I have not taken the time to update y’all on our life. Here we go:
Sunday April 27 was just like most Sundays. We got up, got to church, were spiritually uplifted and then came home for quiet time. After just a short quiet time we cleaned up just a bit, not too much since it is the Sabbath, and then we prepared some food. We had some dinner guests coming, 5 families (including us) and the missionaries. It was fun and we have decided to make this a monthly thing. Well, that is till June. Then we’ll pick it back up again later in the year!!
Monday was an “easy†day. I did have a dr appointment in the early evening. I’m sure you all know how that went….. ‘Let’s see, you gained too much weight, you are measuring just right, the heart beat sounds great….Any questions? Ok, see you next time.’ A whole 5 minute conversation but 2 hours of my day!!
Tuesday was easy too.
Wednesday, April 30, the real fun started!! Jaime had to be in Newark for testing by 9:30. The morning was a bit crazy but we got her there on time. I took Alix to her P.E class at 10:30. Left there at 11:30 and went back and picked up Jaime. We got home by 12:30 and I fed everyone. The little ones went for their naps and we did abbreviated school for the day. I had a follow-up dentist appointment at 2. Got back home by 4. Scott got home early at 5. We had dinner and then attempted to take advantage of Basking Robbins 31 cent night. Too crazy so we went to the store and bought ice cream and cones for the same price we would have spent at the ice cream shop. We each had a cone and then we put all the kids to bed. Well, I left in the middle of it to go to my Primary meeting at 7:30pm. I got home at 11:30pm and crashed by midnight.
Thursday was another testing day but also the start of Alix’s science class at Lake Elizabeth. I dropped off Jaime at 9:30. Got Alix to her class at 10:30. Had about 45 minutes of free time. I spent it in the parking lot of the testing site listening to the World Wide leadership training meeting put on by the church. Grabbed Jaime at 11:30, got back to Alix by noon and we rushed home. Scott had spent the morning at home with the little ones because he was going to work till 10 or 11 that night. He left by 12:30 and was to work by 1. I fed the three of us (Scott had already fed the little ones and put them to nap) and then we started into school. By 2:30 we started getting ready again and left by 3:15. Jaime’s piano went well, we then rushed over to dance class. That seemed to go well too. We got home by 6, had a quick dinner and then bed. Since I had a few hours since Scott was going be home I finally put Jaime’s baptism scrap book together. It came out quite nicely and the kids are having fun looking at it.
Friday May 2, I had an 8:30 appointment in Pleasanton. We got out of the house and there on time. Since I was going to be in Pleasanton anyway, I arranged with a lady to sell her bumbo seat for a friend of mine. I met up with her and we left Pleasanton by 10 am. We rushed to Jaime’s testing as fast as we could. She was 1 ½ late, but that didn’t seem to matter much. She is always done so early. The other kids and I played at the park right next to the testing site and waited for Jaime to be done. She was done in an hour and we went home. We at lunch and I put the little ones down for bed. We did a little bit of school and a lot of chores. Scott came home early because I had a Primary meeting that night at 6:30 in Pleasanton. He actually came home very early because he was feeling sick. So while he rested upstairs we did our normal Friday park day. I got home in enough time to put dinner on the table, help Scott get the kids ready to go to Milo’s sports class and then shower and leave. The meeting was AWESOME. I really glad I went. I learned a lot about primary and cub scouts and how they work together, but I learned more about what I could be doing with my own boy and how to make things work better in our family. It was a good experience.
