We got up on Sunday and got ready for morning services. We ate lunch at home and then headed out to visit with our friends Noah, Courtney, Zeb, and Amanda. We visited, sang, played games, and had a wonderful time hanging out. Mysia and Malachi played and watched a movie. We got home a little late, but enjoyed every minute of it.
Early Monday morning, a storm rolled in with high winds knocking down power lines. We lost electricity until 8am, causing the kids to not be able to watch the time and wake up early on our Labor day! So, we were able to sleep in a bit. Once up, we ate a late breakfast and the kids watched some cartoons. We worked on a few house chores and enjoyed the afternoon. I took Mysia out to shop around for a new cell phone, but didn't find anything yet to suit what we're looking for. I grilled chicken for supper, and we watched some shows on Netflix before heading over to Granny's for a visit. Buttercup came along with us, and we met up with Sam & Madisen (plus their dog Galloway).
On Tuesday, Lydia and I also celebrated 11 years of marriage! Wow, how time flies. Lydia went to work and I dropped the kids off at school. I had taken the day off from work, so I spent it working on some extra projects and watching some spiderman cartoons on Netflix! I met Lydia for lunch and we had a date at the park. I then ran a few errands before coming home. I attended a men's Bible study after supper and while Lydia and the kids enjoyed the time at home. After the kids went to bed, Lydia and I spent the quiet evening together.
After picking the kids up and getting home on Wednesday, we ate supper. Malachi actually had some homework from school, and it included reading a book to Lydia. Both kids finished their homework in good time and was able to play before bed.
Thursday was pretty normal. We were planning on going to the mid-week, small group Bible study, but it was cancelled due to illness. We ended up spending the evening at home. Malachi's homework included reading a book to me, and he did very well. Mysia is an expert with her homework and had it completed quickly.
Mysia got to go on a fieldtrip to the lake with her class on Friday. She was very excited about it. After work, I picked up the kids and dropped them off with Granny and Grandad for the evening. Lydia and I went on a late anniversary date. We went out to eat and enjoyed some of the Downtown Art Walk. There were activities at central square, with flame throwers and other street performers.
We slept in a bit on Saturday, but spent most of the day working around the house with our weekend chores and such. Lydia and I did a bit of rearranging of our bedroom. The kids watched some TV and played as well. We met up with our friends Ben & Heather for some family bowling. It was a great visit, and we even got a tour of "behind the scenes" of the bowling alley by the owner! It was neat to watch the machines at work. After supper, I took Buttercup for a walk and the kids got their showers completed. Lydia worked on the menu for the week while the kids watched a movie before bed.
