Weekly Wrap Up - Goodbye Geometry

Our church has a very large sports program for kids in the community.   We offer several recreation league sports as well as having travel teams in several sports.  This past weekend we hosted our annual basketball tournament, with 56 teams, spread out in eight gyms in five different locations.   The girls and I always help with the tournament in various capacities.  Lindsey helped run concessions in our main building.   Olivia ran scoreboard for 13 back-to-back games, and I was the "runner" taking supplies, change and hot food items to all the locations.  We started at 7am on Saturday morning and didn't wrap up until almost 10pm.   We were thoroughly exhausted!

The time change overnight added to the exhaustion, and then after church, the girls went roller skating with their youth group.  They had a really good time, nobody got injured (thank goodness) and they were happy to get home and chill after a very full weekend.

Monday I let everyone sleep in a little extra.  We have another full week coming up so they doubled up on their school work as much as they could.  The only areas they don't double up in are math and Spanish.  Olivia worked at the farm in the afternoon and then we were off to archery.   This week, the archers were shooting apples that were swinging on a string, and I didn't get any photos, sigh.
Tuesday was a normal day at home, with more doubling up on work.   We met friends at the theatre after lunch to finally get to watch Aquaman.   I was really surprised at how much my girls and I liked the movie (and not just because he's a hunk).

Wednesday, Olivia was at the farm from 9am until 3:30pm.    She came home and took her last geometry test of the year, and actually finished the year up with a B+!!  I don't know if she was more excited about her final grade, or just the fact that she was done with the class.

Thursday we had our chiropractor appointment first thing in the morning and then went grocery shopping afterward.  Olivia went back to the farm in the afternoon to help wrangle cattle for the stock sale.   Lindsey got her school work done for the week.  In the evening both girls headed over to a homeschool teen event.  This is the first time all year that their schedule has worked out for them to attend the teen events, and they had a great evening.

Friday the husband had a vacation day from work.   We all headed out early to go do some shopping. One girl can shop all day, the other gets what she's looking for and is done.   The husband can shop all day, and I don't care for it, so it's always a mix of divide and conquer.

Here's to a low key weekend, with nothing big on the calendar!
Pin It!

  2. I just love this time of year when we're finishing up some of our books. There is such a feeling of accomplishment when setting them aside!!
