Super busy weekend for the Dew Crew. I was hoping for some rest due to PASS writing in the Forest this week. Testing is just boring and tiring but a fact of life for a teacher in South Carolina.
Friday night we took the Roosters to CiCi's so they could see Blake in action. I was amazed at the fact that the big Rooster knew how to clear a table or sweep a floor. He seems to forget those skills at home. HA! He is so excited to be sixteen with his first job. The gentleman that hired him was there Friday night and had kind words about my Rooster. I'm proud of the fact that Blake wants to earn his own money and is still able to keep up with his grades--thus far anyway. He is getting more hours than I would like, but he is handling them at the moment and seems to enjoy what he is doing.
Saturday was Sister's birthday. We had lunch together, shopped all day long and then had a small celebration at my house. I was worn to a frazzle, but I think she enjoyed her day.
Sunday was spent enjoying the morning in worship and then the Roosters picked Applebee's for lunch. I usually cook Sunday dinner, but I was too worn out from Saturday.
The Forest Fitness Foxes are starting level two of our workout. I have been to the doctor a few times regarding some neck and shoulder pain I have been having. It started before I began this fitness quest, but I am hoping there is nothing on the DVD that will exacerbate my aches. Getting fit really feels good. I am actually enjoying my near death experiences each day after school. (HA!)
And, of course, a blog post wouldn't be complete without a few pictures to tell the rest of the story.
Saturday also included some feather plucking at Hair Doodles.
I bought Sister cake squares for her party. I saved enough points so that I could eat one of these jewels. The frosting was almond flavor and was so good.
"Let it go! Let it go!!" (And that is all I'm going to say about this.)
I just got Progressive lenses and Friday was my first day trying to wear them. They have really been tough adjusting to the different magnification levels.
The boys look so little to me. It is hard to believe that Blake was this age when we moved back to Columbia.
This was Sunday's lunch and only 12 points.
The Colonel helping John Ryan with a puzzle while waiting on lunch.
The waitress brought the Roosters an ice cream Sunday since they told her they would be seven "in four days" when she asked them how old they were. Seven?!! So hard to believe that the Roosters that had me running like a hen when they were chicks are now seven.
Here is a shot of a nest in one of the trees I keep up with to let me know when my school year will end.
I bought this menu board from Southern Living "back in the day" and use it to outline my week with just the important events. I keep it at the end of our kitchen table so that I see it every day as I walk out the door.
The Roosters turn seven Thursday, so we are headed to the beach for a cold weekend there. This will be the first time since last summer that we will use the camper. The place we keep it has an indoor pool, so we are going to head to the ocean to celebrate their seven years on earth and our seven years of survival. HA! (Isaiah 41: 10)
