Summertime is such a good busy. We have had another great week.
Our first week of school went well. I was a little too excited about completing it. I think it is because I feel rarely complete anything at my stage of life, and so it was good to know we can do something for five whole days in a row. Plus the kids have something to show daddy every night when he comes home to prove we did something productive with our day. Double bonus!
This last week we had the privilege of hosting Jordan's Grandma for a few days. It was great! The kids absolutely loved having her, well the older two at least. Reuben wasn't so sure. I should have kept track of the time that she spent pushing them in the swing and playing hide-n-go seek. I am afraid we wore her out! I fed her food she had never had in her 84 years, but she graciously ate it anyway! She got to "do school" with us which I think (I hope anyway!) she enjoyed! We took her to see Jordan's cube at KJ. I really hope we get to do it again! I am kicking myself for not taking more pictures!
Jordan and I had our big 10 year class reunion on Saturday evening. It was a family ordeal so the kids got to come too. They managed to survive the tour of the new high school It was very relaxed, which was great, but with the kiddos there I think I managed to talk to three people total! We thought we got a deal on the meal because kids 5 and under ate for free. Score!
Sunday at 3 AM we were all awoken by a huge thunderstorm, and we lost power. When we got up the next morning we still were unplugged. The kids had quite the time going from room to room figuring out what still worked and what didn't. We quickly came up for a list of things we were thankful. With the lack of circulation I was glad I washed Reuben's diapers the night before, and Audrey was happy the "flusher potty" still worked! Jordan was thankful it was Sunday so we could go to church so we could be in the AC. Everything was back on when we got home and we didn't even loose the ice cream!
My family came up Sunday night to grill for my dad's birthday Sunday night, and after we put the kids to bed I heard Jordan snoring so we were in bed by 9:30! We are so old. I was glad to have gotten the extra sleep on the front end of the night because Reuben's disdain for thunderstorms woke me up at 5:30. While I like a good thunderstorm my kids do not. With the forecast it could be a rough week!
