Week in Review---Week Three

Week Two was cut short to process moose and enjoy the remainder of the week with Dad. Worthwhile for sure.
Week Three was a pretty great week.
Sunday 
Worship Services at church this week, I had junior church so Judith and served together. Levi began a new Sunday school this week, Otis and I will be in our class for the remainder of our days so no more changes for us. We had a leftover Sunday lunch and some down time as a family then back for the evening service. 
Monday
Monday mornings we leave early for piano lessons after lessons we stopped off for one last goodbye to friends who were moving out of state (the story of our lives, friends come and friends move away, we are just thankful for the time we have with people and are thankful for modern technology to keep in touch). After lunch we got into the remainder of our school day, the Blessings each take some school work along to piano and they finish up when we get home.
Monday evening I headed into town to meet up with a friend to plan our geography curriculum that we are working on together and to just get together.
Tuesday
A good school day at home. Glad to get to stay home all day. We had two added Blessings arrive for the remainder of the week.
Wednesday
 School day with friends until after lunch time. Made bread in between helping with lessons. A friend came over for the after noon and we canned for the afternoon.
Thursday
Pretty much a home, uninterrupted school day. Benjamin is getting a cold.
Friday
Gave the kids a day off, Levi went duck hunting with Dad. I didn't take Benjamin to his two year old library story time. The girls had pottery so we did go to pottery. After pottery we made a trip to Sam's and picked up pizza, came home and had pizza and watched a movie while waiting for the guys to come home.  I canned up four quarts of chicken stock before going to bed. They got five ducks and one goose that went home with the guy that went with them.
Saturday
They guys went duck hunting locally so they would only be gone for a few hours in the morning. I made a big breakfast. After breakfast I began working on dinner and my Saturday in the kitchen. I do enjoy Saturdays in the kitchen. After Benjamin's nap we took a quick trip into town and then came home for dinner and playing outside and then the Saturday evening bath routine. The Blessings have enjoyed having the girls here even though they are seeming to drop like flies with this cold, but thankfully they just seem to have colds.

  1. So, the Sunday School thing just made me giggle. I always got a kick out of the "sunday school by age" thing. My parents were such goobers that they refused to tell our church their birthdays so that they could go to a class with the teacher they wanted...who taught the over 50s class, and at the time they 40 something. HA!

  3. It surely sounds like you have been one busy lady Melissa.

    I'm sorry your friends moved away. It seems these days that friends are difficult to keep. It's like you said, we have to be thankful for the times we do get to spend with them when they are around.

    Well, take care, and try not to work too hard! :)
