Saturday January 21st
I got up early and we all just spent the morning lounging at home. Gus and I did some minor home improvements to our guest bathroom and needed a few more items to finish it up. We took the kids to Lowes and bought a new medicine cabinet and light fixture. We treated the kids to lunch and Big Bubbas Bad BBQ and finished up our in town trip with groceries at Walmart. We spend the afternoon working at home and playing. A very relaxing and peaceful family time day.
Sunday January 22nd
We did not leave the house, not for anything!
Watch the last playoff games and bet on the winners, Ben guessed write on both.
Monday January 23rd
Ellie and I hung out at home, did chores and cleaned. I went to the dentist, Gus got the kids and we met afterwards at the library to pick out reading books for the week. Took Ellie to gymnastics and the boys rode their unicycles in the parking lot while Abby and I watched inside. Gus went grocery shopping with Ben and the girls and I went home a started dinner. They wanted to help so I let do it all...I mean everything. I just supervised, made suggestions but didn't touch or do a thing! Abby browned ground beef and Ellie made macaroni and cheese and the corn. They set the table and felt very proud to have cooked for the family. I hope they realize the more they can do, the more we'll make them do :)
Tuesday January 24th
Our 8th wedding anniversary!
Not very excited, we both forgot until about lunchtime. We're not big anniversary people.
I worked and Gus took care of the kids and took the big kids to gymnastics in the afternoon.
Wednesday January 25th
I went into work early for a meeting.
Ellie went to the Children's Museum on a school field trip. She said she had fun and loved dressing up in the clothes. She said it was cool and she'd never been there before. She refused to believe that we had a membership just a few years ago and she'd been many times.
Thursday January 26th
Ben had a field trip to the coast to see the elephant seals on the shore. He learned a lot and really enjoyed the trip.
I went to work and the kids hung with dad at home.
Friday January 27th
I slept, Gus picked up the kids. Ellie and I watched a movie on the couch and jumped on the trampoline. She likes when we practice her gymnastics move and makes me pretend to be the teacher. She kept correcting me when I was jumping telling me I needed to keep my legs straight and told me grown ups can't have fun. She said if we did, we were little kids and would play with dolls...she's so funny.
Fun week, very normal and relaxing.
