1. On Monday my mom came over after school to teach Whitney how to sew a drawstring bag. They had started it at her house a little while ago but Whitney was super anxious to finish it.
2. Landon actually joined me to read in the cozy...the peanut butter M&Ms I had with me may have helped seal the deal.
3. Whitney started soccer practice on Wednesday. Her schedule looked like this...
3:35--I picked her up from school
Home for a quick snack
4:00--Activity Days
4:45--Randy picked her up to go to art class
5:00--Art class
6:00--I picked her up to go to soccer (which started at 5:30)
6:15-6:30--Soccer practice
6:45--Pick up pizza for dinner
And it's important to me NOT to overschedule her...Activity Days used to be on Monday but they changed it and soccer practice just started on that day...what am I supposed to do? Aargh!
4. I did some texting during the time I was waiting for Whitney. It was a nice option since I forgot (what the?!) my book!
5. I came home yesterday to some good mail from Jane! After reading about my Wookie-like eyebrows she sent me the wax she used to maintain a nice brow. I hope I've got the skills to make use this, I'm excited!
6. Last night was the 5th grade's "Traveling Show" (it used to travel). I can't believe it's been 3 years since we watched Landon perform in it! Whitney had a speaking part and totally nailed it. It was a very patriotic show that had my mom and I in tears.

**How was your week?
Don't you hate overscheduled days?**

I loathe over schedule days! I feel like that has been my life for the last couple of weeks! With Blake and Ash in track and the jr high and high school not coordinating their track meets, they are both on the same day, different schools I'm cursing under my breathe trying to figure out how to manage to do both!
I am grateful the week is over. I keep saying that and I am hoping one of these times I will be sad the week is over. I am really looking forward to this school year to be over. It's been a dozy.
It's always fun to read about life in your world, Jill.
I absolutely hate overscheduled days.
I wish my mom could come over and do things with my kids!
Maybe I should get some peanut butter m&ms and see if I can lure my kids into the cozy to read. They surely aren't catching the vision without treats.
You ought to get the kindle app for your phone and then you can still read, even if you forget your book!
Excellent good mail! I waxed my eyebrows a few times, after Jessie showed me how. I don't need to anymore.
It's great that your family supports your kids in their activities. I think that provides so much security, makes them feel surrounded by love.
i hate overly schedule days. they are the worst. i'm glad you had your iPhone as company.
peanut butter m&ms are so good.
yay for family close by.
I so hate/dislike those over scheduled days. I don't like it when leaders change up the times and days when you have other things happening. Although, I do understand there times when they need to.
All these post with bacon remind me of Griffin. Apparently you can even buy bacon chocolate bars now and bacon is the "in" thing. (Gross to me, but whatever floats your boat!)
I love how your extended family celebrates birthdays together.
