On Sunday, Malachi was presented a Bible from Pastor, plus a baptismal certificate. He hopped all the way up to the front to receive them.
Mysia got to spend the night with her Aunt Abigail and then the whole day at Granny's on Monday since school was out for MLK day. By the reports given, she had fun. Lydia didn't have classes either, so she went into work early.
Lydia got to spend time with her friend Courtney after classes on Tuesday before coming home with the kids to prepare supper. Once I got home after work, we ate and got things done around the house. I read with the kids before bedtime, and Lydia worked on her homework..
Once again, Wednesday evening was a bit rushed.I came home with the kids and we ate a quick supper. We were ready to go when Lydia pulled up, and Lydia ate her supper on the way to church for evening services. Today was the start of the kids' "Master's Club" for the year. A little hectic... but still good! On our way home, we stopped and got some Andy's Frozen Custard in celebration of Lydia passing that IRS test last Saturday..
Lydia had a meeting after classes on Thursday, so I picked up the kids after I got off work. We ate a quick supper and then headed out to see Sam test for his 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo. Lydia was able to meet us there. Malachi sat with Granny and Granddad during the testing, watching what was happening and playing on Granddad's phone. Mysia sat with friends and toward the end, played on my Nook. Sam wowed us with breaking of boards. By the time we arrived home, we were all tired. The kids ate a little snack and then went straight to bed.
Since Lydia had to work late on Friday, I came home with the kids, had supper, and then we got the house ready for Mysia's birthday party for Saturday. The kids were assigned to straightening their room while I worked on other parts of the house. When Lydia came home, she got a lot organized, including making the birthday cupcakes. Before bed, Malachi made a quick run to get Mysia's gift from him.
On saturday, we all got up early and got ready for the day. Lydia headed into work, and the kids and I attended Taekwondo class at church. We then went to the store to pick up a few things before heading home for naps and housework. Mysia's guests, a few girls from church and school, started showing up before evening. Once all assembled, they watched the new Tinkerbell movie until relatives showed up and hour later. Mysia opened her gifts and we ate pizza, cupcakes, and ice cream. Her friends stayed for a while and she got to play and show off all the stuff in her room. She really had a great time, and was sad when they all left.
What a week!
