What a Week



Jeff was home from work on Monday for Columbus Day. We still managed to do a full day of school and then we headed to the park for a walk in the woods. Well, Evan, Matthew and I walked in the woods. Jeff, Adam, and Ryan played football. Adam had his last regular season soccer game that evening. Play-offs start next week and I'm sure that'll be the end for us. They haven't won a game all season!

Tuesday was Evan and Ryan's turn to visit the dentist. They're the last two and it's a good thing. I don't want to pay for any more fillings! Evan's teeth were fine and he's hopeful he might lose one soon. Being seven years old with all his baby teeth still intact is very stressful for him. LOL Ryan has a cavity that has to be filled next week when I go back in to have my cavity-laden wisdom tooth removed. He also got a lecture and teeth brushing lesson from the hygienist. According to him, he didn't know he was supposed to brush the back of the teeth. Ewww.


Wednesday we got to stay home until time for church. I'm sure we did something fun and exciting but I can't remember exactly what it was.

Thursday we stayed home again. We did all our bookwork and played outside. Adam and I studied for his upcoming history test on ancient Egypt and Israel. He's always griping that he already knows this stuff - and he does know a lot of it, thanks to Bible studies and Mystery of History - but he sure didn't act like it was easy when I was quizzing him. We'll see how he does on the test which we're pushing back until next week. Friday was reserved for a trip to the corn maze.


Friday, we took the day off for a field trip. We finished early so I though the boys might be able to do a few subjects. They quickly vetoed that idea and we just sat around watching tv and waiting for ball practices to start. Not a bad way to end the week!

Sounds like a great week...well, except for the dentist visit. Those are never fun, especially when they involve cavities.

I love the picture of the boys walking through the woods. I just love pictures from the back. I've got one (the idea for which I'm pretty sure that I copied from you) of all the kids standing on the beach looking out at the ocean. It's one of my favorites.

(lol) @ not knowing to brush the back teeth. That is something my oldest son would say. (hehe)
Have a Good Week!

Ugh! The dentist! :) No fun! Sounds like a great week otherwise!
