7th Week 17/18

Saturday we mainly hung around the house and just existed. Things are just different now with so much going on in our lives daily.Daddy did do an odd job for someone he knew and installed cabinets and a light in their craft room. On Sunday Daddy and I took the girls and SweetPea down to Grandma and Papa's house so that we could visit and also so that we could bring their patio furniture into the garage before it gets too cold out. Everything is now neatly put away either in the garage or in their storage room (a spare bedroom in their house that they use mainly for storage). We had a great visit and came home early without scrapping since the scrapping season is basically finished. 


Monday we did lessons first thing after chores and breakfast. This really didn't take long at all. We're certainly back into the swing of things. 

Tuesday was Halloween!!!! Daddy went and picked up some scrap from a customer after we did our lessons for the day and then he and I went to the scrap yard. Monkey did a lot of running around for her doctor appointment for Wednesday. ECJ dressed up as a zombie skateboarder, YCJ dressed up as a black cat, Peanut dressed up as a vampiress, and SweetPea was a zombie Sophia the First. We did pretty well in the amount of time that we took to trick or treat (the weather was chilly and we started about half an hour after others in our town, we also didn't do our regular route). But, each kid got about a third of a pillow case filled up.

On Wednesday Monkey had an obgyn appointment and the rest of us were getting ready for Noni to come by while Daddy was at work. We took the day off of lessons and Monkey and SweetPea (plus the hubby person) stayed at home while the campers and I went with Noni. We stopped at McDonald's for lunch and then went to Walmart to window shop for Christmas ideas followed by grabbing some much needed items for the home. When we got back I went scrapping with Daddy for a little bit (not much was out) and then came home and made nachos for supper.

So, now it's Thursday and we did double lessons after breakfast and chores. Just to keep on track with what I'd already scheduled. Monkey and her hubby went to the hospital to get Monkey checked out, though she's supposed to be induced this evening. SweetPea hung out with us during lessons and then took a two hour nap. Daddy had an appointment out of town and then went scrapping a bit more followed by some time at work. Tonight's supper will be pork chops and veggies. Perhaps we'll have a picture of the baby to share by tomorrow so I won't finish this post until I know for sure.

Friday came and went with no new baby in the house ... we didn't do lessons on Friday because Daddy and I had several errands to run all over the place. The campers played outside in the mild weather with their neighborhood friends and we watched a lot of Family Guy on Netflix ... just us adults. And after a quiet evening we woke up on Saturday with still no baby. Monkey's due date has been changed until November 5th from the latest ultrasound and we're currently expecting a little baby boy! Maybe next week he'll make his appearance.
