On Sunday morning, we got up and around making good time for church services. We met up with friends and also had a great lunch. Malachi got to open up and play with more birthday gifts. Lydia and I were able to get some naps, even though they were short. Mysia and Malachi played outside with the neighbors. We watched a movie and spent some family time together for most of the evening. Abigail and Ethan stopped by for a bit and had "book time" with the kids. It was part of some homework for Abigail's college class, but the kids enjoyed every minute of it!
We had cool weather Monday morning and the kids wore their hoodies to school. After work, I picked up the kids and we dropped Mysia off at her piano lessons. Malachi and I then visited Wal-mart so he could purchase a few Lego sets with his birthday money. We then got Mysia and came home. Malachi had his homework completed in record time! He worked on one of the sets while supper was being prepared. We ate while watching a TV show, and then Mysia went back to quickly finish her homework so she could do the Wii Fit. Lydia came home after her Zumba class and enjoyed her late dinner. Buttercup was active and was happy when I took her for a walk that evening.
Lydia and I worked few minutes later on Tuesday, so supper was a bit later than normal. The kids worked on their homework in pretty good time while waiting. The kids got to watch some TV before their showers and bedtime. I attended the last of the Men's Bible Study I had been going to for the past 6 weeks. It was great getting to know some guys and learning some new things.
Wednesday evening was good. Lydia and the kids worked on homework and house-chores before enjoying the time before bed. I went and got the oil changed in the van and spent some time hanging out with my friend Ben.
After work on Thursday, we came home and ate a quick supper before heading to our weekly Bible Study. We spent a wonderful time visiting and going over scripture. Once back home, the kids ate a little snack before we went to bed.
Friday was Grandparent's Day at school, so Granny visited Mysia and Malachi. She took pictures and got to visit their classrooms before taking them home with her for a bit. I got off work and visited for a while before we came home. Lydia had a doctor's appointment before coming home, but already had dinner made by the time we arrived.
We slept in for only a few minutes longer on Saturday, then it was up and around. After breakfast, we headed out to CPO to pick up some free books for the kids. While there, we looked at the study Bibles and picked up a VeggieTales DVD. We then spent a few hours at the library. The kids participated in the story time and ended up bringing home a bag full of books. We ate lunch and Lydia left for wedding anniversary party for some dear friends. I had promised Mysia and Malachi that I'd take them (plus Buttercup) to the park to play and ride bikes. We loaded the van and as we neared the park, noticed that there was a big church function going on, so I took them to the school playground instead. They spent time swinging and playing on the equipment and then biked for over an hour. The evening was nice as we finished up our weekend chores and things that needed to be done before Sunday.
