Week Rundown! (05/05/13 - 05/11/13)


Sunday morning I drove the church van. During Sunday School and the morning services, our church had Hal Hightower preaching. I remember attending youth rallies when I was teen and him bringing the messages. Wow… that was years ago! We enjoyed a restful afternoon, and had good a evening service at church.

The weather was cool on Monday morning, but by the afternoon, things had warmed up quite a bit. I picked Mysia up from school and we stopped by a few places for some sales calls and then back to work before heading to piano lessons. Afterwards, we picked up Malachi and did a rushed grocery run before heading home for a quick supper. Once Lydia came home, we headed to church for revival services. Before heading home, we did another grocery run… whew! It was after 10 when we finally arrived back home. The kids went to bed and Lydia stayed up late working on homework and studying.

It's great to have nice weather again. We had the windows open on Tuesday, but wasn't home to enjoy it. Mysia had a school attendance awards party at the fairgrounds. It included free food, prizes, and games. We spent the entire evening there rushing from booth to booth. Mysia and Malachi had a great time winning the games that were set up. They came home with basketball, soccer-ball, a frisbee, and many other items. The kids got quick showers before going to bed. Lydia stayed up late once again working on homework.

I picked Mysia up from school on Wednesday, and she got to hang out with me for last few hours at my work before we picked up Malachi and headed home. We had a quick supper and when Lydia arrived home from work, we headed off to church. It was the last night of Spring Revival services.

On Thursday evening, tile was installed in our bathroom! However, since it had to dry there were no showers for the evening. Mysia and Malachi had played with the chalk and were covered. When they were done, I turned on the garden hose and sprayed them down! They enjoyed it... almost too much. It made us look forward to summer.

The car started acting up as I left for work on Friday, so I dropped it off at the auto shop before work. Come to find out, the front struts were shot. Thankfully, it was fixed before I picked Mysia up from school. We had a good evening at home, and once the kids went to bed, Lydia and I watched two episode of the "Bible".

Lydia didn't have to work on Saturday, so we got up and ate breakfast before heading out to TaeKwonDo class. It was Lydia's first time, and the kids got to show off their knowledge. The kids rested in the afternoon while I mowed the lawn. Lydia headed out to attend a mother's day banquet with her mom and sister. My parents came by to treat the kids to some ice cream after supper, and I got to go along as well. Abigail and Ethan took the kids out for a game on miniature golf. Our friend Gary came and finished grouting the tile in our bathroom. We had the windows open all evening... and we're glad spring is finally here!
