Week Rundown! (10/05/14 - 10/11/14)


We had a wonderful time at church services Sunday morning. Afterwards, we stopped at a few places to get groceries before coming home. Lunch was fantastic, and we spent the afternoon watching the "Love Bug" as a family. I spent some time repairing the toilet in the main bathroom and caulking the tile around the bathtub as well. The box for the repair kit said that I could install the "gut" for the toilet in 15 minutes. Yeah, they lied. :) The kids played with Buttercup during the evening, trying to keep her away from Lydia and the clean laundry.  

After work on Monday, Mysia attended her piano lessons while Malachi and I waited in the car. Thankfully, the weather was cool. The kids worked on their homework that evening and got it all completed before Lydia arrived home from her Zumba class. They took their showers and got to watch an episode of "Saved By The Bell" before going to bed. Lydia and I watched some TV.

I got to have breakfast with the kids at school on Tuesday morning for the "All Pro Dads". After work, I picked up the kids and made a quick supper. Lydia attended the PTA meeting before coming home and eating. We left and met Memaw, Aunt Lycia, and Aunt Adria at Fun Acres Miniature Golf. The kids did pretty well, and Malachi received the "high score". He was a great sport about it too. Mysia was happy that she beat her brother. We all enjoyed visiting while playing the course.

Wednesday evening was pretty good. Mysia had a bunch of homework to finish when she got home. We enjoyed supper and spent family time together. The kids played with Buttercup, who is healing fast from her surgery last Friday. What an active, growing pup she is!

Thursday evening we attended our small group Bible study. We had a great time of fellowship and learning. Mysia and Malachi had a good time too. Both fell asleep on the way home. It had rained most of the evening, so Buttercup was wet, and glad to see us when we came home.

Friday morning was dreary. It had rained all night and our backyard was flooded. I gave Buttercup the nickname of "Miss Muddy Paws" for the day. The evening was relaxing and we got a few things done around the house.

We got up Saturday morning and the kids watched some cartoons. Lydia worked on a breakfast casserole. We attended balloon release for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day/Month held by Mommies Enduring Neonatal Death (MEND) (www.mend.org). We have a local chapter in Springfield, and we recognized the three miscarriages we had between Mysia and Malachi. We came home, ate lunch, and then went grocery shopping as a family. The weather was cool and a bit dreary, but we headed off to the MAZE in Verona. We met up with our friends from our Thursday evening small group Bible study. It was fun going through the corn maze, eating hot dogs and s'mores around a campfire, and then going on a hayride.
