Yay! It’s Friday again. I love our day to day routine but I also enjoy our weekend breaks in the routine.
It was rainy today and I even heard a few rumbles of thunder. We didn’t have as many kids as we sometimes do for daycare so it felt laid back and relaxed. I let Austin and Amanda sleep in this morning and even Michael didn’t wake up until almost 9:00.
Austin has been asking me to let him help me make the weekly menu so this morning I let him help me with that. Here’s a picture of him poring over a book of menu suggestions provided by the USDA food program.
After we finished that little project he folded some laundry, fed the baby his lunch and washed the lunch dishes. Instead of watching shows on TV this afternoon he decided to watch the movie “Red Fury” while he sat with the preschoolers.
Amanda gave Micheal his bath and emptied the dish drainer. She had a hard time concentrating today because she’s so excited about buying a new pet. I told her we’d try to go to the pet store this weekend. She plans to use her earnings from the last few weeks to buy either a rat or a hamster and the cage and supplies. We’ve had both before and really enjoyed them.
This evening was the last evening of Bible School. It’s been a great week but I think everyone is tired. Tomorrow there will be a “carnival” for the kids at the church to celebrate a good week together.
