Saturday

 We went to the rock show this morning. It was fun. We went to the mall for lunch. Mom pretty much hit the highlights for our day. I do have pictures of our quilts though.

Saturday

 We picked up Jeff and went to the Rock show. It was a really nice show and it was free to get in. They did have a scavenger hunt for little kids and Luna got a lot of stuff. jeff seemed to have fun. We went to the food court at the mall and then came home. Shocker we finished one of our quilts. They turned out really good. I also cut out a unicorn dress for luna and started sewing it. We also cut out a pattern for a stuffed bear. It was a lot of fun. Love mom

Friday

 I am glad that the weekend is here. When I plugged in my laptop this morning it wouldn't hook to my extra monitors so I had to contact IT. They still hadn't been by to fix it. Oh well. I hope everyone had a great day. Bye

Friday

 I had a quiet day. I just took it easy. Dad stayed home and we napped and took it easy. Not much else to report. Karen got spagetti factory for us for dinner and it tasted so good. We are going to a rock show tomorrow. We are picking up jeff and meeting robins gang. We are going to go to rylees farewell on Sunday. Rachel I am glad you are staying in Logan Riverdale on i15 is closed this weekend. That should be a mess. Love mom

Friday

 I had a full day of classes and it was busy.  The older kids went well but the little ones were a struggle.  They are getting another 1st grade teacher so the classes will be smaller.  After school Ruth and Oliver had friends over which also was busy.  Isaac had cross country practice.  I programmed when I could today.  Tomorrow we are going backpacking so I won't blog until Sunday.  We haven't gone yet this summer and thought we better make it happen.  It will be fun.

Love Rachel 

Thursday

 I had a hard time sleeping so I woke up late. I took dad to work and then went grocery shopping. I was putting a glass container of saurekraut out of the cart and I dropped it. It went every where. It was so embarrassing. They were very kind and cleaned it up. I was late going to see kay so I went to Applebee's to get her favorite salad. She didn't remember ever going there. She didn't eat much and said her tummy hurt. I didn't stay long she was tired. I came home and just rested. Karen had a dentist appt and brought home panda. It tasted so good. I was watching TV and fell sound asleep. It did kind of rained for a couple of minutes. I am ready for a huge thunderstorm. This week has gone by so fast. Have a great Friday. Luna looks so cute. It looks like she is famous for advertising day care. Love mom

Thursday

 Isaac has morning cross country at 6 am so we were up early to go to that.  It rained a bit when he was running.  He gets out of school earlier then us so he rode his bike and that worked out okay.  I had a light day of classes which was good so I could catch up.  It went okay today, they kids had a hard time bookmarking things.  Ruth and Oliver were happier after school and had a good day.  Isaac had violin lessons.  Ruth and Oliver went to play with their friends.  I went to exercise class early since that is the only class they have.  The cigarette lighter wasn't working in the van so we could use Alexa so Casey fixed it.  We had a blown fuse.  Isaac played disc golf at the park until it got dark.

Thursday

im glad your water problem was easy to fix and that the kids had a good first day of school. today was busy again. at 10 the had an hour meeting the forgot to add on half of the department. so we all rushed over and made it in time. but it was a hour of the day we are not getting back lol. no other updates. have a happy friday

Wednesday

 Like mom said it was a crazy day. She texted that we had a leak. I got a plumber arranged and then asked if my boss cared if I worked from home. He said bye and good luck. She i worked from home. The plumber was nice and we got the sprinklers turned off. Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment to get my tooth on. Hopefully it fits this time. I hope everyone has a great Thursday tomorrow. Bye

Wednesday

 Dad went to work and i mowed the lawn. I kept hearing water running. It was coming out of the cement in the window well. I called dad and he came home. Karen called a plumber and then came home.  he came and said it looked like the sprinkler so we turned it off and sure enough it was. Hallelujah. Not sure how to fix it but we have lots of time.to figure it out. I will just water manually. I am glad the first day of school was good. They will get on a good schedule. Isaac will have to bring a snack before cross country. That is funny about Luna. I call it the kindergarten stage. They know it all have seen it all. It was so hot. I am ready for some cool weather. I am going to go grocery shopping and go see kay tomorrow. Should be a.big.busy day. Love mom

Wednesday

As I was driving to work I told Luna it was Wednesday. She said “I already know mom I know everything” she was so sassy but it made me laugh. Work is still so busy. Everything is on fire and rushed. They keep changing and adding things and it’s just so wild. The new cook book I bought had crembruelee French toast. You make the bread from scratch. So me and Luna started that today. The dough has to be in the fridge for a day. So tomorrow we are going to cook it. It’s intense. So by Friday we can have French toast. Hopefully it tastes good

First day of school

 The first day went pretty good for the kids but they are wiped out.  Ruth and Oliver were so tired after school.  I walked them in this morning and they were happy.  They built a new playground but their were hornets everywhere and Oliver said that their were a lot of hole for them to make nests.  I didn't work today so I sewed and programmed which was nice.  I met Casey for lunch and it was fun to talk.  Isaac had cross country after school and didn't get home until 5 which makes for a long day.  He was starving so we ate.  Then Oliver went to the neighborhood kids house and Ruth and Isaac went to the park with Bradley.  Me and Casey mowed the lawn which was so long.  It took forever to do.  So I missed exercise class but what can you do.  Casey went running when we got done.

Tuesday

 I had a nice day. I took dad to work and then drove out to Kay's. They have a great clip there so I thought I would get my hair cut but it was too long of a wait. Rylees farewell is this sunday at 130. Me and dad are going to go. I went to target and I was looking at clothes and they had no prices on them. I asked someone that I couldnt see the price and she said they took them off because with the tariffs the prices change all the time. I thought that was weird. Just as weird that Costco didn't have things. I came home and did dots. I like the picture I am doing. Good luck with the first day of school. It is going to be busy. I bet Luna loved planting. She looks very intense. I am going to do yard work until I get to hot tomorrow. Love mom

Tuesday

 Isaac had wolf pack academy today where all the freshman go and they show them where everything is.  He was excited to go and rode his bike.  He looked really good in his new fancy clothes.  He had a good day.  I worked today and I had a lot to do and I didn't get it all done.  I think I got enough done to start school.  I mostly have a lot to do for the little kids still.  I made a million seating charts and sign in card.  Casey took half a day off to go to a grotto meeting where he was presenting the caveatron.  He took the little kids out to lunch and then brought them over to the school and I put them to work.  Both their teachers came in and talk to them and they both just lite up.  They were so much happier about school starting.  They were sweet to help me also.  We had a miscommunication and I thought Casey was taking Isaac to cross country but he did so we hurried and took Isaac over but her was late.  We went back to the school to clean up.  Then we went shopping for school supplies now that we had the list.  Then went went grocery shopping for things for their lunches.  I picked up Isaac and then made dinner.   I went to exercise class and it felt so good.  I love going.

Monday

 I had a quiet day. I always miss all the kids after they have been here. I got all.the laundry done and just straightened up a bit. I am going to go visit kay tomorrow. I am going to get a haircut. I like the great clips by Kay's place. Robin I am glad your interview is done. I think you have the job. Rachel good luck with school. Your room looks really nice. Good luck getting Isaac to his first day of school. Love mom

Monday

 I went back to work today and it went well.  It was good to see everyone and talk.  I changed out my decorations and started getting all the log in stuff ready.  I think I will get everything done tomorrow, hopefully.  Isaac helped Ruth make Parmesan treats from her cookbook which was really sweet.  The little kids played with the neighbor kids all afternoon till I came home.  Isaac had cross country practice in the afternoon so we went a bit early and got his locker and walked around finding his rooms.  Oliver had cello lessons and we haven't been practicing very well but we will do better going forward.  Ruth wanted to spend her quarters at Lucky slice getting stickers so we went there for dinner.  She got what she wanted and was excited.  I embroidered two bags for Casey's grotto meeting tomorrow and I need to finish a shirt for him.  It was fun having a design I made work out and look good.  I missed exercise class so I walked To y around the block.

Monday

I had my interview today. It was alright nothing groundbreaking. They didn’t ask me any questions that I felt like they already didn’t know about me. They said they are going through some more interviews and should know by end of week. Other than that work was still busy. I think it will be pretty steady till convention which is in a month. We finished trimming the yard. Thanks again for letting us borrow the trimmer mom/karen.

Sunday

 Thanks for having us and for all the new clothes.  They wore their new church clothes today and looked so cute.  Church went really well today.  I really liked the talks and I played well which was fun.  We had lunch and then went hiking.  We went to white pine lake again and it was really fun.  I love it there.  Their was a heard of sheep and we watched them for a long time.  On the way home we saw a helicopter flying and it landed in the road in front of us so we had a wait a long time.  It was a life flight helicopter so it was sad and I hope they are okay
