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.
Seems like it rained a lot this week. Off and on anyway. Monday was a normal day. The big kids had marital arts that evening. Tuesday, we spent the day at my parent's house. Then we grabbed grocery pickup on the way home. Tuesday night the big kids had martial arts again. Wednesday we went for a walk and went swimming. Big Boy had batting practice, and then big girl had pitching practice. Thursday, we also went for a walk and went swimming. It was nice not to have any activities in the evening. I've been working on cleaning the house for our party on Saturday of this week. I always spend about two weeks cleaning before a party. I have my routine down now, but it's what many would consider "spring cleaning" where I clean things that don't get cleaned weekly. Although, I have had the kids doing more chores during the summer, and that's been really nice. Chores teach so many life lessons. If you don't have your children doing chores (if you have children), I highly recommend it. Friday, we ran to Kohls to get a few things we needed for a wedding. I worked on cleaning in the garage and then went swimming in the afternoon. Saturday was my birthday. We had a nice lazy morning. We ate lunch at my mother-in-law's house. And then we went to a wedding in the afternoon.
