Our week

Well another week has come and gone. Of course we spend the week doing "school", but here is a glimpse of what we did the rest of the time.

Monday we had to make another trip back to the dentist. This is 3 weeks in a row something has went wrong with Katie's braces. I mean really this is getting a little ridiculous. But I'm trying to remain calm..LOL But let's hope and pray they have it fixed right this time. To say I'm getting a little concerned, would be an understatement. And if I hear one more time "Well this is only stage 1", I might possibly scream!! But anyway on to something else..

Tuesday afternoon Katie had play practice. I truly love watching my child on stage. She is simply amazing to watch. I mean I know I'm her mom and all but that child lights up the stage. She amazes me each time I watch her. (The week before we got an awful scare when the superintendent's office sent word to the drama teacher that homeschoolers could not be a part of the drama program. Our hearts sank, along with the drama teachers'. This is Katie's 4th year to perform with them. How could they even think of doing this do her. We were so blessed that the drama teacher was willing to fight with us every step of the way. Thankfully they agreed to let her perform this year. I guess we will have to way and see what the future holds. I know it would have devastated my child if they would have tried to force her not to be in the play especially after she got the role of "Molly" this year. I'm so thankful she is still able to be a part of the production. And I pray she will have many more years, since she loves it so much.)

Wednesday we spent alot of the day with my mom and grandmother. That night we had a wonderful worship service. And got to hear all about the mission trips our congregation supports. I am in awe of the work the missionaries do, I would love to go on a missionary trip sometime and take Katie it would be wonderful.

Thursday some of our wonderful friends came over to visit. It was so great catching up with them. It seems like it had been forever since we got to see them last, with all the sickness that had been going around it had been about a month and a half since seeing them. Which is just way too long. We had a great time. We are so blessed to have such amazing Christian friends. My friend is taking a ASL class, so I purchased the book so I can help her practice (since I want to learn how to sign also.) I was fun trying to go over all the different signs with her for her test last night. I can't wait to hear what grade she got, I know she did great!

Today well lets see today was test day in our household. Katie and I studied alot of different ASL signs she is enjoying learning them with me. Which is one of the main reasons I wanted to learn is so I can teach her. She did great on her test today, she made a 100 in spelling, 96 in English and 96 in Math. We have been studying for our local Bible Bowl that is coming up in just a couple of weeks. Last time she won 2nd place in the junior division. I'm so proud of her!

When my husband got home tonight we enjoyed supper and then played some famiy games together. I had a headache and lost at everything LOL.. We played blokus and bananagrams, usually I beat him at bananagrams, however, on occasion Katie has beat me. I may be training her a little to well :) But we all had a great time. Most of the week we have been playing Phase 10 at night. Whew! that game sometimes can go on forever. Well so can bananagrams but I LOVE that game so I don't notice as much :)

Anyway this is a little of what we did this week. Now let's see what the weekend has in store for us.
I see I should post more often this is way too long. Sorry everyone!

Our Weekend

We had a great weekend. Katie had play practice Saturday morning from 10-1:15. They worked really hard on learning choreography for the song "Hard Knock Life". It is going to be really cute. Then Saturday afternoon, she had a friend to spend the night. They had such a great time! They played so well . We got up this morning and headed to worship. We listened to 2 wonderful sermons today. After worship we came home, had lunch and the girls went back to playing. Around 2pm her friend had to leave. She hated to see her go. She can't wait for her to come back to spend the night again. We had such a great weekend.

Now time to get geared up for another week. Katie has play practice Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday this week from 3:30-5:30. Whew! It's going to be a busy week. We have been missing karate lately I hope we can get started back this week. But it's on Mondays and Thursdays at 6:30. So it's going to be tough since so much of our time is now taken up by play practice. Hopefully we can get everything worked out. I've got to get back to the gym. It is going to be so hard getting started again. We started missing while I was sick, then Katie got sick and we missed. So starting back will be tough. But I really miss going, and I really need to kick myself to get back to my workouts, I've been slacking off. Gotta get myself motivated and kick it in gear.

Hope everyone has a great week!
