another week bites the dust...

Here we are Saturday again and time for a wrap-up of the week.

Sunday, I got home from Kansas City. Tom and Jake were home from their Scout campout and Lucas was home from staying the weekend with a friend. Lucas' team had a football game last Saturday and they won. Leaving them still undefeated. Sunday night was just a catch up around the house, laundry, and last minute homework. After the boys went to bed, I worked on some projects for work.

Monday - I was off to work at Boxer. That evening was football practice and fun night with the Scouts. Tom dropped off Jake at the arcade place and took Lucas out to Chinese food. I worked on more projects at home...

Tuesday - I worked at HOTP. After school programs were cancelled this week because of conferences so was back to pick up the boys at regular time. No football practice so we used the evening to catch up on homework.

Wednesday - I worked at HOTP again. Picked up the boys from school. Took Lucas to football practice and then home for the evening.

Thursday and Friday - no school for the boys. I spent Thursday home working and the boys just hung out. Friday am, we went to school for conferences. I am pretty proud of my boys. They are actually doing pretty well in school this year. They are not straight A kids, but they are doing better than I had thought. Jake is stuggling in Science and just needs to get in some missing work and that will bring that up. Lucas also has one class that needs some work. But it is just some missing work. Then we went to the bank, got coffee at Starbucks (the boys had some banana chocolate thing) and we were on our way to Boxer. I helped the girls get the boxes sent off for the convention next week in Ontario, CA and the boys did some packaging. After that, we went to the scrapbook store in Sherwood so I could get a couple things. Lunch at Micky D's and then off to the mall. Lucas needed new shoes and had some in his head he was going to get. Um..... Size 13!!!! and $110. I don't think so... He ended up with some similar though from a different store and still ended up costing me $80... Hope this kid gets a job next summer so he can start buying his own clothes and shoes! After the shoe shopping, we dropped off dry cleaning and filled the truck with gas. Ended up being a day of errands. Then we went out to dinner at Izzy's. Saw Mary there - was good to see her. She was jetting off to Disney World today so hope she has a good trip. Izzy's just isn't as good as it used to be - but filled up my three boys. When we got home, the boys played the wii and Tom and I watched Leatherheads. Called it a day about 10. Seemed like a long day...

Today, catching up on housework. Got chicken and dumplings going in the crock pot. Laundry is running again. Going to make a pineapple upside down cake. Need to get some projects done for work. Lucas has a game at 3:30 and a friend coming to spend the night after. Jake has some homework to work on. Tomorrow, Lucas has his first guitar lesson and then we have a committee meeting with scouts. I am going to the meeting too this time because Tom and I have some concerns to express. We are just not seeing the example that we are expecting from scouts. Or that it is really meeting our expectations - or the boys'. Not sure what it will accomplish, if anything. Or if we need to start looking for a different troop. Will see what happens.

So anyway, that puts us through the week. Hope you all had a good one.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
