This past week was our first week back into our school routine. I didn't take a lot of photos but here's what our week looked like.
Saturday - Darryl and I headed to town to do a little shopping as he needed some new clothes. We enjoyed an amazing lunch at The Cheesecake Factory - we haven't eaten at CF in over 2 years so it was a nice treat and we did not even get Cheesecake (we were full!!). We also enjoyed a fun trip to Trader Joes for some fun treats before ending our day with pie from Grand Traverse Pie Company.
Sunday - After church, we were able to watch the first half of the Lions game before heading to a family birthday party for Darryl's dad. We met at a park . . .. and it poured HA! Good thing there was a pavilion! His dad turned 81 and all he wanted for his birthday was for his kids (2), grandkids (4) and great grand kids (2) to be together. That was an easy feat since we all live an hour apart :-)
Monday - First day of school! We spent our morning doing lessons and it went well. Josh was supposed to go running club but it stormed. He and I still headed to town to do some clothes shopping - specifically for "church" clothes/"wedding" cloths that are needed this fall.
Tuesday - Second day of school! Another busy morning of school lessons. After lunch we headed to piano lessons. It was so great to be back to piano. The "boys" (I'm saying that for Josh because he said he was going to start reading my blog) really enjoy their teacher and excel at the piano. Well . .. . when it was nearing the end of lessons I went to start my truck and it was dead! Thankful their piano teacher's husband was there and offered to jump my battery and, again thankfully, we finally got it to start.
Wednesday - Third Day of School! Whew! Another busy morning of school. Josh had his first drum lessons on Wednesday morning and really enjoyed it. Following that he and I headed to town for Running Club. It was a great first day of running. Wednesday evening was the first night of youth group at our church, which Josh attended (yes, he had a busy day!) .
Thursday - Finally, basically a full day at home, kinda. We focused on school all morning. Nate went to his friends house (he and his friend usually get together once week when possible) but Josh needed to finish up school since he missed a few afternoons this week.
Friday - As is the norm, we do not do school on Fridays but we do have our co-op! Today was our open house and Nate started back to TKD. Fridays will be long days starting next week between the Co-op all morning and Nate's TKD in the afternoon!
As you can see, we had a busy week. I've done a little shifting to give us 2 (and eventually 3) full days at home by moving drum lessons to Tuesday so all music lessons will be on one day. That will give us Wednesday and Thursday at home most weeks (and Mondays when running club is done!)
