Manic Mondays are when I let you know what plans I have for the week. Some weeks I may be very busy where other weeks there may not be any plans. I have also decided to do a quick recap of what we actually did versus what I thought we were going to do. Halloween week was a busy one for us. Some days I didn’t even crack open my laptop let alone sit down to write a post. I am going to do my best now that things have settled down a little to get back into the groove of it.
Starting 11/4/2019
This Week
Monday-The kids have school. I am going to a painting class almost as soon as they get off the bus. For some reason the class is starting earlier than normal but I like it because that means we get done earlier.
Tuesday-Today is voting day. We are going to see if the Perrysburg school levy passes or not. The kids don’t have school because of voting. They close the schools because they are used as voting locations. We have Little A all day, which the kids are excited about. S usually only gets to see her for about an hour before he leaves for school but he gets the whole day this time.
Wednesday-The kids are going back to school! I am doing another painting class. This is a last-minute addition but there are so few classes on the schedule that we are taking advantage of the addition.
Thursday-The kids have school. After P gets on the bus I am going to clean the gym.
Friday-The kids have school. We don’t have any plans for the afternoon.
Saturday-I am going to the gym to help out in the morning.
Sunday-No plans for today, just hanging out at home.
Last Week Recap
Monday we didn’t have a lot going on. I cleaned the pool for a final time this season so B could start closing it.
Tuesday B closed the pool with a little help from me. The rest of the day we just hung out at home. I went to the Architectural Scavenger Hunt in the evening to see how I did on the hunt. I got 2 wrong. I thought for sure I got them all right but I was tricked.
Wednesday we ended up taking the kids to Dave & Buster’s after school. They had fun and spent most of the time playing the SpongeBob game to try and win the playing cards. I have to say I love that game as well and played just as much as they did.
Thursday I got up a little earlier than normal so I could dress up as one of the workout instructors. The kids had a 2-hour delay because of fog which really messed everything up. I made P a doctor appointment because she just can’t kick this cough/cold. The doctor ended up giving her another inhaler (which is a steroid) this time that she will use for the next 5-7 months at least. All because of the stupid walking pneumonia that she got last year. B got S ready for school and had to assure him that we were going to bring his costume to school for him later. I got P ready for school hair and costume. B got her on the bus so I could go start cleaning the gym early so I could leave to go to the school Halloween parade. After the parade I went back to the gym to finish cleaning. When I got home the kids were already home with B. It was a quick dinner and then we had to figure out new costumes for both of them. It was windy and rainy and their costumes would not have made it. P ended up going as a cat and S went as a bag of trash. B stenciled on the word trash to a trash bag. The kids ran from house to house and had a great time. Of course, when we got home, we went through all the candy and had to sort out what we like and what we didn’t want to keep. I let both the kids keep a container of candy and that was it. The more candy we keep in the house is more candy that I will eat.
Friday the kids had school. Morning came early for them. P and I took down all the Halloween decorations. The rest of the day we just hung out at home.
Saturday I went to the gym in the morning. Afterward I took the kids to the Home Depot build and then we went to a few stores. I wanted P to look at the costumes to see what she wanted for dress-up and then we went to Michael’s looking for beads to do a fall craft. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find what I was looking for.
Sunday we did absolutely nothing. It was a day of just hanging out around the house and being lazy.
Last Week
Monday-The kids have school. There is trick-or-treating at the Maumee businesses in the afternoon that we could possibly take the kids too.
Tuesday-No plans for today. I have a meeting in the evening for the Architectural Scavenger Hunt to find out the results.
Wednesday-We are planning on taking the kids to Dave & Busters after school because of P getting on pink (on the school behavior chart) last week. We are going to give the kids the option of a Trunk or Treat or going to Dave & Busters.
Thursday-Today is Halloween and it is going to be a busy day. I have to get P ready for school which means doing her hair and getting her costume on. I have to clean the gym in the afternoon, and go to the kids Halloween parade at school. After school it will be a quick dinner and out to Trick or Treat.
Friday-S has tech club in the morning and crossing guard duty. I am hoping to get all the Halloween decorations down and the few Thanksgiving decorations up.
Saturday-I am going to the gym in the morning to help out. The kids have a build at Home Depot and then we are just hanging out at home the rest of the day.
Sunday-No plans for today just hanging out at home.
