5th Week 17/18

Saturday I went with Daddy first thing in the morning to drop off some scrap at the scrap yard and then we stopped at a store on the way home. Daddy had an appointment a couple of towns over so he went to that while Monkey took her hubby to a job interview and then to put in another application here in town while I watched SweetPea (and of course the campers). After Daddy got home we did a couple more quick errands and then brought home Taco Bell for supper. Followed that up with a late evening trip to get some ice cream for everyone and then it was time for everyone to start getting ready for bed. Though neither SweetPea nor Peanut slept very well this night.

On Sunday we all pretty much slept in and didn't end up going to mass. Daddy and I did a tiny bit of scrapping just around our house (down the road a bit) and then came home. The campers had done all of their chores and were getting ready for lunch when we got back. Daddy made stuffing and stuffed the turkey for supper this night before taking a nap. I updated the blog and crocheted while Monkey, SweetPea, her hubby, and the campers settled in to watch movies for the majority of the afternoon while the turkey baked ... avoiding the severe storms that were expected (though we mainly only saw the high winds). Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and spinach were what were on the menu for supper. The girls all got their medicine and were in bed kind of early this night because SweetPea had skipped her nap (on purpose this was done so that she'd sleep better).

Monday Monkey's hubby had an interview in the morning and got the job. All of us were awake and the campers and I were doing lessons when he came home from his interview. After lessons we all basically did what we always do (except for a quick run to the next town for an errand) until Daddy came home from work and then he and I went scrapping a bit. Tuesday was pretty much the same thing just done over again. I didn't have to run to the next town to do anything this day so that was a bonus and the day went pretty much exactly as planned. We did not go scrapping this evening as it really wasn't worth it.

On Wednesday  after chores and breakfast we did some lessons and then spent the day hanging out again. After Daddy got home from work he and I took the girls with us to meet up with a friend and then, after dropping the girls back off at the house with some pizza, we went scrapping. Supper this night was homemade potato soup.

So, on Thursday, we had informal lessons all day long while Daddy and I went to appointments in the next town over followed by a run to the scrap yard after taking apart scrap and reloading the truck. Daddy and I had several places to go in the afternoon and evening so we were in and out of the house until med time. After meds, and a quick run for bananas and grapes by Daddy and I, the campers all went to sleep.

Now it is Friday morning. I have no lesson plans written for today ... we'll be doing our nature walk and study. I have an errand to run with Monkey around the middle of the day and Daddy will be going down to visit Grandma and Papa by himself this evening. I haven't made plans for supper tonight yet (I'll get to that) but I've already sewn my king size comforter where Moragon ripped it apart last night and have thrown it into the laundry to start. We don't have spectacular plans for the rest of the day or the weekend but we'll be busy I'm sure.
