We went back to school after 2+ long weeks off for Christmas break. It took us awhile to get back into the swing of our "normal" schedules, but we are there now! Here's a recap:
Monday: After a late start, we went back to school, back to long term subbing, back to dance. Jake started his week long computer camp, which was held at school. All 3rd graders participated & learned to type among other things. I was able to volunteer off & on throughout the week.
Tuesday: a quiet day, which we needed!
Wednesday: back to babysitting after school. A couple of other neighbor kids showed up too...
Thursday: I had to make hot chocolate for 23 3rd graders for computer camp. I didn't burn anyone!!
Friday: Allie found out she was on Student Council this semester. She's really excited. Scott & I went to dinner with our neighbors. We had an awful dinner, but a great time with our friends. We stayed out WAY too late!
Saturday: All of my siblings and their families came for a weekend of fun. We hung out, ate too much, had drinks and played a lot of Wii. We had a small Wii mishap. My brother Will lost control of the Wii remote & flung it into the fireplace. Fortunately, it just caused a small dent & nothing was broken. It was pretty funny after it was all said & done.
Sunday: Jake turned 9. We had a family party for him. All he wanted for his b-day was UnderArmor clothes & a DS. He got the clothes from us & Uncle Will. He got cash & gift cards from everyone else & was able to buy his DS & a game. Talk about being excited! We also got to eat dinner at his choice...Carlos O Kelley's.
This week: dance & Scout were cancelled due to a blizzard on Monday & we had an early out. I had a PTA meeting last night. School was cancelled today due to the 7 inches of snow we got. I am still subbing all week & potentially for a long, long while. Jake is having his best buds over on Friday for a sleepover/movie. It is bitterly cold & doesn't look to get warmer until the weekend. UGH!
