We've had a busy weekend. It started Friday when I met up with some other homeschool moms & kids for a playdate. We ended up with an extra for the night and the kids were WIRED because mommy forgot the no caffeine rule and the kids had pizza and coke for dinner! Paul crashed about 8 that night as he had only a few hours of sleep...I was up until midnight trying to get everyone to just put their heads on their pillows!
Saturday we took Becca's friend home and then went across the street for the neighbor's kids birthday party. A swimming party that exhausted my whole bunch...lots of fruit, chips and cake were to be had and Saturday night everyone fell fast asleep VERY QUICKLY!
Sunday was Mass at St. Paul's and doughnuts afterwards. Funny how good the kids are once a month when they know doughnuts will be served! Met a few new people and got to speak with Fr. Ben for awhile. It is nice to feel so welcome in this community...never had that before!
Stopped off at Sams for groceries and it was off to home. I crashed for a few hours, as did the kids and Paul. I think we all had a sleep deficit.
Sunday evening we had a birthday party at the most pictoresque property in town! It took us about 30 minutes to get there. G. was having a bday party for one of her boys at her parent's property. They had a little lake that the kids loved being in. They had a little 2 person paddle boat, which managed to fit about 9 kids on it at a time...didn't stay afloat as high, but they DID fit! At one point Lauren had been "bad" and put the anchor on the boat (which the parents had removed for safety). Paul (wading into the water) asked Stephen to bring it back as he was paddling. Mr. little brilliant decided that paddling the boat back would take too much time, so what did he do? He picked it up, wrapping all the ropes around himself (he thought this was funny) and jumped off the boat in an attempt to "swim" back to shore....daddy saved him and the rest of the adults onshore were just laughing hysterically. The Lake wasn't very deep, but Stephen did go under....and the anchor wasn't too heavy...mercy me! The kids were so exhausted, they fell asleep on the way home in the van!
Today, Paul had to hit the dentist, Megan had her final testing with Sylvan and Katie has a hair appointment. School starts on Thursday, so we are trying to get everything done in the next few days!
