Sunday was still rainy. The sump-pump for our house was working overtime. I ran the vans for morning services at church. We also heard the news that our first niece was born by the end of services! Mysia spent the afternoon with Aunt Abigail. Malachi watched "Cake Boss", took a nice long nap, and then we read a book before returning to church that evening. Mysia ended up going back with Abigail and spent the night. We returned home and ate grapes and cucumbers before finally going to bed.
Mysia spent Monday with Abigail. They went shopping with grandma. She had piano lessons before we returned home for supper. Lydia attended Zumba class while the kids and I played games and read books.
On Tuesday, Lydia took Malachi for kindergarten registration. Mysia got to go swimming for the last time of the summer with the boys and girls club. That evening we ate sloppy joes and watched an episode of Robin Hood on Netflix. The kids took showers before bed.
We attended event services at church on Wednesday. Back at home, we ate cucumbers and read books before going to bed.
Thursday was the last day Lydia had free from work, so I took it off as well and we made it a family day. We all slept in and the kids played while I made pancakes as a late breakfast. We then left for the Mall. Our first stop was to JC Pennys. There, Malachi tried on a few vests with dress-pants. At Sears, Mysia got to model several outfits, and we picked up a new dress for her. Before leaving the mall, we stopped by a toy store that had games and books. Once home, we had hamburgers for a late lunch/early supper. We worked on getting the school supplies organized and did housework. Malachi cleaned his room, and we worked on going through the many things in Mysia's room. She had tons of notes, doodles, and papers that needed be sorted through. It time for bed when we finished.
Mysia got to spend the day with Granny on Friday. Malachi had fun with his sitter, Becca. Going back to work after a day off with family wasn't much fun for Lydia and I, but we made it through. Lydia and Mysia attended the baby shower for Aunt Ana that evening. That left Malachi and I to fend for ourselves for supper. We played and watched tv together until the girls got back.
Saturday was busy from the start. I woke up early that morning with stomach trouble, so I rested in the morning while Lydia and the kids got up and went to see VeggieTales for free at movie theater. They then attended TaeKwonDo class. The afternoon was spent with my extended family. The cousins played while we ate and visited. We had fun time catching up as well. That evening, the kids had baths and played before bed.
