Aftermath

It's starting to feel like my kids never go to school....  They had Monday off for a teacher work day.  I told them that if they got their piano lessons and some clean-up done, that I would take them to the museum or the zoo... So they played outside all day.  They did get their piano done, but that was about all they got done.  Anna prepared a wonderful family home evening lesson for us - here is me attempting to play an opening song...

Tuesday was our usual taking a friend to therapy in the morning followed by the usual craziness of the evenings

Wednesday was late start for the big kids and library for James and I - then after the library, we had my friends little girl come over for a few hours so she could go to the temple.  She was small enough that James saw her more as a baby to take care of than as a friend to play with.  He was so sweet and helpful!  After picking the kids up from school, we took Evie to a dentist appointment - then home for piano, homework, choir, activity days and such.

Thursday morning, James and I took a drive to pick up some medical supplies for a friend and then enjoyed a couple hours of quiet before picking the kids up from school.

Friday I needed to go get my allergy shot - James loves going and the ladies who work there all LOVE him, so it's a nice easy errand, then we met Dan for lunch at home before heading back out to the grocery store to grab a couple things.

Saturday was a work day.  Dan spent most of the morning and early afternoon building a chicken coop.  I spent it taking Eileen to flute lessons, mowing the lawn and sweeping and moping and vacuuming.  Then we decided to relax by walking to the park to play :)  It was a great day, but exhausting!

Sunday, after church, we went up to UNC to see Dan's home teaching companion in a tuba band and then we stayed to watch a bit of the UNC philharmonic orchestra - but by intermission, James was done so we headed home.  It was a lot of fun though - in the same building, they had a fun little lego exhibit with this good giant "minifigure"
