Sunday
Steppin' Out Quartet had been asked to sing at Central Baptist Church for their anniversary Sunday services. We met at the church at 9am to set up our sound equipment and do a sound check. We sang for both the Sunday School and morning services. It went very well, and the folks seemed to enjoy having us there. We were even treated to a 'picnic' lunch afterwards.
Lydia and the kids attended our church, and I met them at home in the afternoon. Lydia prepared supper (a German dish) for the activity after church this evening. The theme was missions, and everyone was asked to bring a dish from around the world. There was some great food!
Monday
It was back to the schedule... daycare, school, college, and work! The evening was nice and restful. Nothing that really demanded our attention. Mysia worked on homework and Malachi played well. After the kids went to bed, Lydia worked on her homework as well.
Tuesday
Today was 'put a cap on drugs' (wear an interesting hat) for Mysia's school. She took part, and wore a great cap for the occasion.
This evening was a bit interesting. A few minutes before getting off work, daycare called Lydia to report that Malachi was feeling sick. Sure enough, when he arrived at home, he threw up on the kitchen floor. But after that... he was fine! We ate, but had him eat lightly. He was laying on the floor near the couch watching tv as I left for quartet practice.
The quartet started our arrangements for Christmas. We're hoping that we'll be able to sing in quite a few nursing homes and churches this season. What a wonderful time of the year!
By the time I came home, Lydia was into her homework!
Wednesday
I stayed home today, using a personal day since Malachi was 'sick'. Technically, he was fine. He just had to be symptom free for 24 hours before he could return to daycare. He and I spent the day coloring, playing army men, and cleaning his room.
After nap-time, we headed out for our dentist appointment. He was excited to go, like usual. We both had ours at the same time. Mine went well, but his did not. They used 'mint' flavored paste when cleaning his teeth, and he didn't like it. Both of my children think that anything mint flavored tastes 'hot', so they don't care for it. Anyway, after that, he would let them clean his teeth!!!
As we left the office, Lydia and Mysia showed up for their appointments. Both of theirs went well, and they met us at home shortly afterwards. We ate a quick supper, Lydia and Mysia headed to church.
Thursday
For school today, Mysia got to wear her clothes inside-out... boy, she loved this idea.
We had planned to have discipleship, but it fell through. So it was family time for the evening. The kids colored while we made supper. It's nice to get a change just have some time together.
Friday
Mysia got to wear pajamas to school today. The day went by quickly. My Grandparents, Dave & Gladys Paasch, came into town and I had them stop by the radio station to give them a tour and show them my office. It was neat having them visit.
After work and school, we met at home and then headed over to my folks' house for supper. It turned out to be a mini Paasch family reunion for us... BJ and his family had came to town for a visit as well. We stayed and visited until 11pm. For us guys, our conversations were centered around technology, of course! Especially our smart phones! ;) There is nothing new about that. We also played a few games on our phones, using the technology to play against each other! What fun!
Our kids spent the night for a 'cousin sleep-over' under the watch of Aunt Abigail!
Saturday
It was great to wake up and not have the kids bugging us! Lol! Lydia and I had a nice breakfast together and then got on top of some house cleaning. My dad and grandparents dropped the kids off at the house before lunch.
For lunch, our friends Ike & Holly came over. We visited, ate a great lunch, and then played some Mario Kart Wii. It's always fun to have friends over!
The kids took naps while we went over schedules and the dinner menu for the week. We then headed out to get Mysia's haircut. She now has it shoulder-length, and looks very cute!
We met my folks and grandparents at the food-court in the mall. After eating, we let the the kids have fun in the play area. Ben and his family showed up and we got to visit with them some more. There were a few things we wanted to shop for, so we said our good-byes and walked the mall. We had found that if you want children's snow-boots, the mall is the place to go. Unfortunately, they're a bit higher priced than what we like... but the kids need them!
Back at home, we got the kids ready for bed and I did a quick grocery run. We had heard that the World Series game was being played by one of the local stations... but couldn't find it! Lydia did a channel scan, and we got four more channels! One of them hosting the game! Yippee!
