| Grace spent the weekend painting at the new house. |
Monday the 11th...
Today was a busy day for our family. The kids and I got up early to get a head start on our lessons, as we were not going to neglect them. The kids packed up their independent work and I dropped them off at the grandparent's new place. Meanwhile, I met my mom at their old condo to wait while the movers moved the big stuff. I cleaned their refrigerator. It was a long day. Jeff joined us at the new house after work. I made pizza there for us all. Ryan worked on their computer network.
Tuesday the 12th...
Morning lessons as usual. Then, Grace and Trevor mentioned having a little spending money and wanting to go to Panda Express for lunch. I said OK and we asked Nana to join us. Yum! We went to the library and got bread, then we went to Nana's to unpack and await the arrival of a new couch and some other furniture. Back home, I threw together a huge pot of chili, got laundry done, and the kids helped with dishes.
Wednesday the 13th...
Pretty day! The contractor was back to our house today to finish the work started before Christmas. The entryway was painted. The guest bathroom ceiling was redone, which led to the wallpaper border being destroyed. That's an improvement, but will have to be stripped. The laundry room is ready to be painted, I think. He'll be back next week. As for our day, lessons, art, and chores were all completed before AWANA and youth group. AWANA went OK. I had a headache and a girl at my table was sneezing, coughing and not covering her mouth. Ugh. I took vitamin C when I got home. And that's when Jeff gave Grace and I our Valentine presents! We each received a lovely necklace. Thank you, Honey!
Thursday the 14th...
We worked on our lessons. Seems I am always doing laundry and dishes. We decided to put off our family Valentine celebration until Saturday when we have more time. We're going to grill out steaks! Tonight was shopping and karate as usual.
Friday the 15th...
Had to get the van to the shop for brakes at 7AM this morning. Jeff worked from home while waiting for the cable guy to arrive. We're getting cable internet. Kids worked on science, spelling, and history. This afternoon is our "Home Blessing Hour" and we have a dinner party to attend tonight.

Just seeing those boxes makes me shiver...
ReplyDeleteI know! Mom's move makes me want to never move again!
DeleteWow, what a busy week, but I'm sure you all were a blessing to mom. That's great that Grace could paint and Ryan could do the computer set-up. Nice picture in the making too! Enjoy the dinner party! I should have my review up later today, all's I have to do is download the photos. But I should do a little housework before Gma comes, but I don't feel like it. Looking forward to a no-plans weekend - I feel lazy. (hugs)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Jane!
DeleteI bet you could echo in that vacant room... and like the Queen says.. I shudder at seeing the boxes... would you believe we have located more of our stuff in boxes .... a year later... its like Christmas and birthdays all over again..
ReplyDeleteI believe it! I probably have some unopeded boxes from our move 3 years ago!
DeleteSounds like a great week. We need our ceilings painted in our bathrooms so bad. I'm hoping our landlord gets to it this spring. It's probably too cold to do it now, I would need to air out the house.
ReplyDeleteSteaks sound yummy. I hope you all have a fun, blessed weekend. :)
This house needs painted from top to bottom, too. I'm dragging my feet about asking the landlord. Idread the mess!
DeleteIt sounds like you had a busy week. Any type of moving is hard tiring work. I hope I don't have to do that again for a LONG time!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fun Valentine's Day celebration with your family.
Blessings! :)
I hope you don't have to move either! And thanks, I just hope we can grill without freezing!
DeleteO, busy week for you!
ReplyDeleteSuch a busy, happy week for you! Yes, there's always laundry and cooking to do, but at least we have clothes to wash and food to eat.
ReplyDeleteIs that Grace's new painting? She's doing so well!
Have a blessed Sunday
