Sunday
I knew that it was going to be a busy day... And so it was. I ran the church van like usual. However, since it was hot, the tire tread came off on one of the wheels on the way back to the church. We ended up abandoning the van and picked by the van driven by our associate pastor.
During Sunday school class, we had a "good-bye" party to our teacher and his wife. He is stepping down from teaching our class. We'll all miss his teaching and leadership of our class.
During the afternoon, we rested and then got ready for services. The evening service went by fast, and we were soon eating and visiting during the church's Independence Day Celebration. However, storms rolled in, causing all to retreat indoors. Since it didn't let up, the fireworks were postponed until next week.
Monday
It was nice to have the day off, but the kids didn't sleep in! Silas and Kristi came over for lunch. We played Wii and visited. The kids enjoyed playing the games with them. As nap time came around, we pulled out the Wii Fit, and had them try some of the activities/games. Silas is very competitive, and we had a blast trying to top each other's score.
For the evening, we got to hang out with Doug and Mary. We ate supper, played in the sprinkler, visited on the porch, and then ate desert! The time flew by quickly, and it was soon time for the kids to go to bed.
Tuesday
Malachi had a high temperature when Lydia picked him up from daycare this afternoon. Fearful that he might have strep throat, Lydia took him to the clinic. Thankfully, all he has is a virus with a bad cough. He cuddled this evening.
After work, I attended a packing party at Convoy of Hope, for the relief effort of Joplin. I was with the KWFC group. We packed clothes. It was a neat experience!
Lydia and the kids were watching Mary Poppins when I arrived back home.
Wednesday
Malachi woke up with a high temperature, so I called my mom. She agreed to watch him for the day. Mysia wasn't too happy that he was going to get to spend the day at Granny's, but we reminded her that she got to do that a few weeks ago when she was sick. She still didn't think it was fair! lol
Lydia stayed home with Malachi while Mysia and I went to church. Mysia wasn't too happy that I made her sit with me, but we made it through services fine.
Thursday
Malachi was still sick, so he got to spend the day with Granny again. He was feeling better, so Granny took him to Bass Pro. Mysia had a special time at daycamp. She got to go see the movie 'Rio'.
Friday
Malachi went back to Granny's house again. He was feeling better, but Granny wanted to have him one more day. Mysia wanted to go, but had daycamp. She got to dress up as a superhero.
The workday went by pretty fast, and we got home at a decent time. Abigail brought Malachi home and became the kids' sitter for the night while Lydia and I headed out for a date night. We ate some supper and then headed to the Springfield Cardinals game. Thankfully the weather cooled down, and we got treated to a 3 hour game! The game ended with some fireworks, and we picked up ice cream before going home.
Saturday
Lydia went to bio-life, I slept in. The kids woke up Abigail and they watched tv until I got up. After Abigail left, we packed up our swimming wear and headed to Lycia's to swim. The kids took to the water with no problem, swimming from one end to the other. We had forgot the sunscreen, so we were a little red afterwards. Lydia got burned.
We enjoyed the afternoon at church, with a party for one of college guys who had recently returned from a missionary trip to Columbia. Cory explained his trip as the slides were shown. It sounded like he had a great time.
When we got back home, we all crashed in the living room thinking that we wouldn't sleep in for long... ha! We woke up 3 hours later! We then got some things done around the house, got showers, and put the kids to bed. Lydia started working on the finances while I worked on some projects I had fell behind on.
We got to bed LATE.
