The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
My brother-in-law's brother died last Saturday. Monday afternoon we went to Georgia for the visitation. That was a long trip. Little Boy randomly started running a fever almost as soon as we arrived. I couldn't know for sure what his temperature was, but he was certainly warm to the touch. The trip there went well, but our GPS was trying to take us home a different way than we came, and we had two mishaps trying to find a place we wanted to eat dinner. While eating, Little Boy made a small scene that was embarassing. Baby Boy also had a meltdown (he'd not had a nap that day and didn't eat well either). And Baby Boy ended up having an accident in his pants. After leaving the restuarant, Little Girl needed to go to the restroom about every 50 miles. It was really late (for us) when we got home, and everyone was irritable. I didn't want to get out on Tuesday because I was still worn down from the trip, but we had to return library books. Normally, I'd let the kids play at the park which is right by the library but bad behaviors and potential sickness had us returning straight back home. Wednesday is my normal grocery pickup day and for some reason the hydraulics on my liftgate seem to have failed. I don't think it's going to be an expensive fix though. Wednesday, we did finally get to swim after about two weeks of not. For one, we weren't supposed to swim with Baby Boy's stitches or with Little Girl's impetigo spots. Thursday, we went to visit my parents. They had a large tree cut down last week that was tearing up their driveway concrete, and while we were there the guy came to grind the stump. All the kids were completely fascinated. I also spent all of Little Boy's nap cleaning house for this weekend. Friday was a normal day. We went for a walk and went swimming. I was working with Baby Boy on swimming without his puddle jumper. He was loving going underwater and coming back up. He needs some work staying horizontal versus wanting to be vertical. But this was really just a first for him, so we'll continue to practice. And then I also spent the rest of Friday afternoon and evening cleaning house. Saturday, we celebrated Holly's birthday. Everyone had a blast. I can't believe we have one week left of school break.
