Thought I'd catch up with what has been going on this week & what is to come this weekend...
MONDAY: Allie's preschool teacher returned to school after being on bed rest and maternity leave since November. She was delighted that Mrs. Phillips was back. I went to Jake's school for the majority of the day. I did spelling with his class in the morning and had lunch & recess duty over the noon hour. Allie had her new pre ballet dance class on Monday night. We switched from Thursday afternoons and it was a GREAT decision. She loves her classmates & new teacher.
TUESDAY: I had a meeting on Tuesday morning and Allie got to play with her friend Olivia during my meeting. Olivia has a hampster and Allie enjoyed watching it run in it's ball all over the house. After the meeting, we got our hair cut...it was about time for both of us! The kids started swimming lessons last night with the BEST teacher EVER! Both kids adore her & learn SO much.
TODAY: I was able to get a few chores done today while the kids were at school and after Allie got home. Tonight, Jake has religion class. I was thinking all day today how 7 years ago I was in the hospital waiting for Jake's arrival...little did I know the kid wouldn't come until the next morning!
TOMORROW: Jake turns 7!! We'll open his gifts right away so that Scott can see him. He shares his birthday with a classmate so we have coordinated with the other birthday child and we are bringing ice cream for Jake's treat. I'll run that over in the afternoon. Jake's class is also making Stone Soup tomorrow. Jake volunteered to bring potatoes for the soup. Jake's friend Paul is coming home from school to play and then we will go to Happy Joe's for pizza and birthday ice cream. Then off to swimming lessons. (the pic is from his 5th b-day)FRIDAY: I have a fundraising meeting in the morning. I am taking Jake McDonald's lunch to school for his birthday (on his actual b-day they were having pizza & he chose to have McD's on Friday). Michael & Kim are coming up on Friday afternoon for the weekend. Scott got court-side tickets to the UNI game on Friday night. Jake is SO excited he can hardly stand it!!
SATURDAY: Jake's bowling party for his b-day. He got to invite all of the boys in Mrs. Wyckoff's class (a total of 11). So far 9 are coming & the other 2 I haven't heard from yet. Thankfully, Scott is off of work to help & Michael/Kim will be there too! Allie has a b-day party to attend during Jake's party & she can't wait! Mandy & Ben are planning to come up mid-afternoon and will spend the night.
SUNDAY: Jake's family b-day party. Grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins will be here to celebrate Jake's b-day. The weather forecast isn't looking too good...we'll see how many actually are able to come!
That is our week in a nutshell...I'll post some pics throughout the weekend.

Can't hardly believe how much Jake has changed since 2005! I remember that b-day party as if it were yesterday. Brings a tear to my eyes........
