I woke up at 7 and quickly went back to bed thinking that my alarm would wake me up a few minutes later. I woke up at 7:50 wondering why my alarm hadn't rung yet. I quickly realized that I had set it for 8:30 and not 7:30. So that made for a very rushed morning.
We were able to still get our tegether worked accomplished for this morning, and then everyone set off to do their work. The kids have 7 days of school in their folders for this week and the week after we return. This is way too much and is a bit confusing-however, it helped me tremendously when pulling out school work.
Whitman and Anderson were the last ones to finish their school work-actually, Whitman didn't finish his school work today. I just put it back in the pile-no need to make myself crazy. I did notice that one person was skipping a few things last week, so everyone is having to show me every single thing that they do-it takes a lot longer, frustrates some people, but is necessary for a bit.
By 1, everyone had eaten their lunches and then started a bit of down time. We left the house right before 2 for a quick trip to the library followed by jumping at Third Realm. After they were tired of jumping, we all went into the Walmart. I needed to do a bit of speed shopping, but it just felt more like we were part of a circus!
We did a few returns, tried to buy a few presents, looked at toys and even bought some groceries. It took longer than planned and I spent more money than planned, but we all survived.
As soon as we came home, it was almost time for the boys to leave for their Trail Life meeting. They had an awards ceremony/Christmas party tonight. They had lots of fun and enjoyed the snacks.
The girls and I were busy at home-we made 3 pans of brownies to take to Bible study plus we made Nonna's famous mac and cheese. They said that it was pretty good, but not as good as Nonnas. I wasn't too offended since it is a fairly involved recipe-best saved for special occasions.
The kids had showers tonight and there was some downtime before bed. Afterwards, it was time for blessed bedtime!
