Sunday:
Today was busy. I had Men's prayer breakfast at church before doing the vans. After the afternoon services, Lydia and the kids ate before heading home for naps. I stayed at the church to practice with the quartet since we've missed several weeks of getting together. After our practice, I took a nap before choir practice.
The quartet sang a special during the evening service. Mysia went home with my folks to spend night. Spring break starts this week, and my mom agreed to watch her. Lydia and I treated Malachi to a root beer float before going to bed. We watched an episode of MythBusters before hitting the sack as well.
Monday:
We got up, and got ready for work, daycare, and school. Spring break was over for Lydia, so it was back to the class schedule for her. Mysia had spent the night with Granny, so ended up spending the entire day there!
This evening, we ate dinner and Malachi got to watch some cartoons on NetFlix. I had quartet practice, so Lydia ended up putting him to bed and worked on homework. We had a good practice in preparation for Sunday. I did a grocery run before coming home.
Tuesday:
The weather was super-awesome! It felt like summer! It was daycare, college, and work for us. Mysia spent the day Granny once again... something she'll do all week.
This evening, after supper, I took the kids for a walk around the neighborhood while Lydia worked on homework. Then it was preparation for bed.
Wednesday:
A pretty normal day for us all. Tonight was was interesting at church, some of our helpers were away due to spring break and family... so we were a bit short handed. But it all went well. Mysia went home with Granny to spend the night.
Thursday:
Lydia had a meeting thins morning, so I took Malachi into daycare before work. Lydia picked up Malachi from daycare and took him to Walmart to get a "school picture" of him for the year. Seeing the proofs, he was definitely a ham!
I was wanting to take the kids for a walk outside, but it was too cold. Lydia had to go back to the college to get and print out some papers, so we tagged along. The kids and I walked inside the buildings, visiting every floor, walking every staircase, and even riding the elevator!
Friday:
For most of us, it was another normal first part of the day. For Mysia, it was her last day of Spring Break, and got to spend one more day with Granny. She was definitely enjoying it!
Once again, we had discipleship this evening. So we got things prepared... supper, homework, and picked up around the house. Our discipleship meeting went very well, and even the kids behaved!
Saturday:
Well, we had hoped to go to Silver Dollar City today, but cold weather had moved in along with rain... so that not an option. But today turned out to be an adventure anyway.
We got up and rushed around, and all left together. Lydia dropped the kids and I off at the mall before heading to BioLife to give plasma. That gave me over an hour with the kids! What did I do? I let them play at the inside play-place! They enjoyed it, and it was interesting to say the least! At times there were just a total of 4 kids, and then there would be over 20!!! Lydia met up with us, and we went shopping for a new swimming suit for Mysia. Once found, we ate some McDonald's for lunch, and then had to go back to the house to pick up the swimming suits I had accidentally left behind in our rush out of the house.
We decided to try out the indoor swimming pool at the YMCA on the south-side of town. It features a play area for the kids, and we thought it would be fun. The kids were excited when they saw the place! Lydia took Malachi over to play in the shooting water, but Mysia wanted to swim in the big pool. Her and I swam a lap back and forth, then everyone was called out of the pools. Lightning was hitting outside, and the pools weren't grounded. They said it would be over 30 minutes of inactivity of weather before they could let anyone back in. Disappointed, we got dressed and headed back home.
We watched movies and worked on things. Lydia worked on the menu for next week, and I was concentrated on some projects. After the kids went to bed, I did the weekly grocery run.
