On Sunday, I got up and got ready. Mysia left with me, and I dropped her off to have breakfast with Granny and Granddad. Then I did the church van route. Malachi's friend Asa had spent the night, so Lydia brought both boys to church. The boys also spent the afternoon together at our house, since they believed that their time together on Saturday was short. Mysia spent the afternoon with her Aunt Abigail. After evening services, we attended the monthly birthday and anniversary fellowship before heading home for bed.
Since Monday was president's day, Mysia didn't have class. However, she had her first piano lessons. So we are now in search of a full-sized piano (our electric keyboard won't do). Mysia is excited and ready to practice every day. Before coming home, Lydia did the bi-monthly grocery shopping. Malachi and I worked on cleaning his room.
The excitement of winter weather moving into the area was the highlight of Wednesday... but we didn't get it until late that night. However, folks were afraid, and the attendance for evening services at church was low. We didn't have many kids in the children's service, but it turned out great.
I woke up early Thursday morning to the sound of my phone going off letting me know that BBC campus was closed due to weather. Sure enough, it was starting to rain ice! Not more than a few minutes later, we got the call from the public schools. They were closed too. Lydia checked the internet, and yup... no classes for her. She was excited. I went ahead and showed up for work, but Lydia and the kids got to spend the day at home. They had and indoor picnic and enjoyed the entire day together. We spent the evening playing UNO before going to bed.
On Friday evening, the kids played games and watched a few episodes of Dick Van Dyke Show before hitting the house hard with chores. By the time we got to bed, the house was in great shape.... but we were tired!
Lydia got up on Saturday and went into work. The kids and I watched some cartoons before going to Tae Kwon Do class. I'm hoping to get my suit sometime next week. After class, Mysia and Malachi got to see their cousin Gideon for a short time before we headed back home. Lunch was simple, and after we ate, they went down for naps. They were both tired and slept longer than normal. We read and got some bedroom cleaning done before Lydia came home from work. We then ate supper and enjoyed the evening together. The kids took baths before going to bed at a decent hour.
