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.
The last week of August was more of a struggle bus for us with school. But we survived. We did go on our first field trip on Wednesday the 30th to a local nature center. They had fishing, a creek walk, and a lesson on amphibians and reptiles. We got to pet some animals. I can't believe I actually touched a snake. I was trying to be brave for my son, but he still didn't end up touching it. And it didn't feel anything like what I expected. I expected it to be hard and scaly, kind of like the alligator, but he was actually very soft. The kids had a blast, and we were all worn out. Friday, I started feeling a sore throat. I knew I was officially getting sick on Saturday, but we traveled to Georgia to celebrate my nephew's 4th birthday. The kids had so much fun. Sunday, my voice was gone. Monday was a totally relaxing day for me. Husband went to cut grass at his mom's house so he took the kids with him and I was able to rest. Tuesday we ran library books back and picked up some new ones. We went to the park but the kids weren't feeling it this week. And then we did grocery pick up. Tuesday we got back into the groove of homeschool. Thursday, my parents came to hang out with us. And then Friday, we went to a "field day" with a local homeschool group. One of Little Girl's friends from softball is homeschooling this year too, and she and her mom went to field day too. It wasn't as organized as I'd imagined, but it was nice to break things up. My parents had asked if the kids would spend the weekend with them so after field day, I dropped them off with my parents. Husband and I had a date night Friday night with dinner out and some shopping. Saturday, I went back out to get some items we'd spotted Friday night, and then I did my fall decorating. We went for a walk and also watched some TV together. It was a nice a break.
