Weekly Wrap Up- Birthday Week

Monday was of course Labor Day, and it's the day we hosted Lindsey's 13th birthday party.   We just do simple, family parties with the grandparents and aunts/uncles/cousins. This year was a bit different since Olivia had volleyball practice ending at the same time the party started (originally it was running the whole length of the party) and my older brother had to miss the party because of his recent surgery.  We also had Becca with us for the entire day, so it was still a full house.

Tuesday was Lindsey's official 13th birthday.   Birthdays are holidays here in our homeschool, so my husband took a vacation day from work and after our breakfast of birthday cake and her present (books she'd requested) from us, we headed off to explore shopping in a different city, followed by lunch.   Then it was home for volleyball for both girls.

Wednesday the husband was back to work after his 4 day weekend.  He's already been scheduled for mandatory overtime, so he'll be paying the price for those days off, sigh.    School went pretty smoothly and we had plenty of time between lessons and volleyball.   Our Wednesday night church services started back this week, so we have to get back in that routine.

Thursday morning Lindsey had her annual checkup.  I didn't think she'd need shots, but apparently Hep A is now required due to all these crazy food contamination issues.   I told her to look on the bright side, it's one thing she wouldn't have to do to in preparation for a missions trip....that didn't make it any better for her.   However, seeing the "Hot Now" sign on at Krispy Kreme as we prepared to depart the city DID make it all better, so we stopped for warm donuts, grins.    School went pretty smoothly.   Volleyball ended for Olivia at 6:15 and started for Lindsey at 6:45, so we had to divide and conquer.


Friday (today) Lindsey will be working at the museum.   Olivia uses Friday's to get ahead in geometry and science and to get ahead in her literature selections.    There's a varsity volleyball game this evening and then the start of the overly hectic weekend!

In case you missed it, this week I also shared my review of GrammarPlanet.

Have a great weekend!
