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 normal day. Tuesday, we got groceries, and then after lunch we met up with a friend at a playground at a church near us. I started to feel a sore throat by the time we got home and quickly went downhill. Wednesday, the kids were very well behaved and I was so thankful since I was feeling so crummy. Thursday, I took the boys to get haircuts. This was Baby Boy's first big boy haircut. His hair was longish, bright blonde, and curly. Much of his bright blonde was cut off and so it's no longer curly. I miss his long hair, curly hair. But I also want to allow him to grow up. Then we went to my parent's house. They've got a contract on a new house that is set to close in 45 days. So they are scrambling to get the painting on their current house finished. They listed it for sale on Friday. Friday was decent. The kids started off well behaved. By the time we got to independent school subjects things started breaking down a little. Little Girl ended up going to a friend's great-grandmother's house who lives at the end of our street after she was done with school. And Little Boy went to Grammy's house which is two houses down. Saturday, Little Girl had a softball camp. This is her third year going to it. She was so excited to go and see some of her school friends. Softball and baseball season is starting really soon.
