Our Week

On Monday we went grocery shopping. We normally buy enough for two weeks, and this was no different. It took us 90 minutes. Took about that long to get it all put away as well!!

Tuesday, was a low key day. We stayed home and had fun here.

Wednesday was library day and we went in the afternoon. We arrived a little early and then the girls went to the story hour where they made a father's day gift. After the library we went next door to the ice cream shop. We all had ice cream! YUM!!

Thursday Em, Abby and Lily had dentist appointments. Our appointment was for 1030 we got there right on time. We had to wait almost two hours to get in to see the dentist. They all had their teeth cleaned, and Abby had 5 cavities! Lily had 6 and Emily had 1!! I have never had any of the children have cavities before so this was all new to me. Anyway they did lily's teeth first, and was she ever a brave girl! So now she is totally done (until next year) and then abby got in the chair and they cleaned hers and did the left side. Emmy got her teeth cleaned but we ran out of time so she got bumped up to this coming Thurs. for her dental work. Abby will get the other side done then too. This next thursday Jess, and Olivia will be seen by the dentist, and any work that needs doing will get done then and the dentist will finish up on Abby. Emily has just one cavity, and she has a tooth that is in her gums that never grew out, but it did break through the skin so all the dentist has to do is take it out. I didn't tell abby this but she has a baby tooth with a cavity that is very loose and I think the dentist said she might pull it!

Anyway we got out of the dentist office at 230. We left the house here at 945! So needless to say we all were very hungry and thirsty. I called Steve to inform him I would not be home in time to make anything for supper so we would have to have take out. He opted for Wendy's! I didn't care I just didn't want to cook!

Friday was a low key day as well, which was kind of nice. Saturday we went to Staples for several items for a unit study we are starting this week, and then to Joann fabrics for styrofoam balls. Then we made a stop at Goodwill. We ended up getting some blouses and shoes for Olivia. The shoes were brand new and they only had about 3 dozen only in her size!! How cool is that??

So we got her two pairs. I let her pick a pair in each pattern. Made me feel kind of "ritzy"!! LOL!

They were only 1.99. We found abby a pair but only in one color.

Sunday we went to church and then visited Dad for father's day. We brought him a couple cards. I would have liked to have brought something more but honestly what do you buy someone who has everything they want?

We then came home. Steve cooked on the grill and Jaimie and Travis came over. Jaimie had a gift for Steve. The little set showered him with their homemade gifts, and Jess and Em bought him and adjustable wrench. He already had one but it was a lovely thought.

Now here we are today. We started a study about ants. We prepared our ant farm and set out ritz crackers to catch them. We ended up with around 25 ants in our farm, and they are interesting. They are already tunnelling in the sand.

Something exciting today was my Bosch mixer came in the mail!!!!!wwwwoooooohoooooo!!

I will be studying the manual tonight after the children go to bed. Can't wait to start using it.

I am still working on a couple cape dresses for myself, and a Beatrix Potter styled skirt. If I had a couple hours to work without interuption they would be done, but that isn't likely to happen for a while.

I need to get going Steve will be home soon and I have to get supper started.

Until next time!
