Week Rundown! (09/16/12 - 09/22/12)

Sunday:

Church van were full once again this week

We took naps in the afternoon, and the kids played legos until time for church. After church services, we attended the Birthday & Anniversary fellowship before going home.


Monday:

Today it was back to our schedules. This evening, we ate supper and the kids played with legos. Lydia worked on laundry and I mowed the lawn, it really needed it after getting the much needed rain over the weekend. Lydia and the kids danced to the Wii for a bit, and then it was showers and bed!


Tuesday:

This evening we ate supper and let the kids play while we worked on budget and financial things. We then worked on a few projects around the house. Before getting the kids ready for bed, we watched home videos of Malachi's birth and the few months following up to Christmas of that year. It was neat getting to see him as an infant and Mysia as a toddler. Hearing his cry reminded us how glad we are not to hear that in the night anymore, and seeing Mysia hug on him that much makes us wonder how he survived these last 4 years!


Wednesday:

Today was busy for both Lydia and I, but we made it through. Before school, Mysia and I looked at the material offered at her school's book fair, and we purchased one that she wanted.

Lydia picked up both the kids, and I met them at home. We ate a quick supper and headed off to church. Both Lydia and I were tired, but the children's services went fairly well. Once back home, we let the kids have a snack and they went to bed. Lydia worked on homework.


Thursday:

It was a busy day for me. KWFC decided to a special fundraiser called 20 on 20. We asked listeners to help us raise $20,000 on this the 20th of September. We ended up raising over $15 thousand! Not too bad. We stayed at the station until 9pm for the event.

At lunch, my friend Doug went with me to BBC's cafeteria since it was $3 Thursday. Not a bad price for a meal! We sat with the college students from our church. Perhaps a bit out of place, but we had fun!

Since I stayed at work, Lydia picked up the kids and headed home. They ate supper, watched some tv, and then went to bed. Lydia was working on homework when I came home.


Friday:

Early this morning we had a hailstorm... it was intense! The kids ended up sleeping on the floor beside our beds due to the loud thunder. We even lost electricity for a bit.

Lydia and I both came home from work a bit earlier than normal. We watched the Brady Bunch on tv, then the kids got to go the the Grandparents' house for the evening. They had a blast. Lydia and I had our friends, Noah and Courtney, over for the evening. We had a great visit, and Lydia got to share her Microsoft Office skills. Yup... Lydia is now a computer geek! ;)


Saturday:

We slept in a bit, but it didn't last long. Today was a blur of business and stress. We ended up visiting two banks... one to close accounts and one to open them. Yes, after dealing with a month of headache, we moved banks. We acted as if it were a field trip for the kids, because, seriously... for them, it was boring. They did like acting for the security cameras!

We spent the evening at home, working on finances and budget. The played after some rest time, and then watched Woody Woodpecker before going to bed.
