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.
Monday was a good day except Little Girl was really emotional for some reason. She'd said she didn't sleep well the night before. And Little Boy was being a smidgen defiant about doing his school work. I've learned that if I can stay calm and present his consequences for choosing to refuse school work diplomatically, he will usually end up coming around on his own in a short amount of time. Tuesday, we went to the library to return books and check out new ones. We met some friends there and continued to the park right next door. At the park is a creek that we sometimes let the kids play in. I don't usually mind it as long as I come prepared with towels and changes of clothes. After that we did grocery pick up. But we were all zapped by the time we got to school that afternoon. Little Girl asked me if we could skip school that day, and I love that we have the flexibilty to do that, but I didn't think it wise to introduce that in the beginning of our third week lest that become a common request. We pressed on, and it was fine. Wednesday, my parents came over for lunch. The kids finished all their school work before they got here so we could relax and enjoy their presence. They'd gotten a desk from my grandmother's house when she passed away and refinished it to go in my daughter's room. She spent all day organzing her new desk. Mostly she plans to do crafts there. Thursday, we normally spend the day with my parents, but we didn't since they'd come the day before. We did swim and pretty much had a good day. Friday, after getting Baby Boy from mother's day out, we ran to Walmart to get a gift for a birthday party. Then close to dinner time Little Girl and I headed off to the birthday party at the local trampoline park. She was so excited because there were going to be mostly kids from the public school she went to last year and girls from her softball team. She had a blast. They got to do laser tag and arcade games after jumping and pizza. It was a good night. Saturday, we decided on a lazy day. We never do days like this with the kids. But we allowed way too much TV time, and I spent nearly all day reading.
