Tuesdays happen to be our busiest day but we survived & made it through the day without too much complications or sadness.
Once all the kids were off to school Brayden got to have some time with Mom. We first picked up a birthday present for a party tomorrow and then headed to the library. It was Brayden's first storytime. At first he was looking around and just watching the lady doing the class. But half way through he was following her during the songs & smiling. The lady at the library is so good and all of our kids just love her. We will definitely make this Brayden's special time when Mom is not teaching preschool.
Then Brayden went to a friends house while Mom vounteered in Kaitlyn's kindergarten class. Kaitlyn was so excited when she saw Mom there. Mom is helping out with math rotations once a week for an hour. Today we worked on writing our numbers with rolling some soft dice on white boards.
We almost ran out of gas taking the kids home in our carpool but made it safely to the gas station after picking up Xander from his preschool at Tati's house. Tati's mom Rachelle is going to help out and keep Xander after school while Mom does the carpool on Tuesdays. Thanks Rachelle!
We got home to each lunch and Mom had just enough time to finish cleaning the dishes. She will finish the kitchen later today sometime.
Then we headed to the church for Mom's primary meeting. The older kids played upstairs in the gym while Brayden sat down with Mom during the meeting and played with toys. The meeting went a little longer than usual so Staci ended up being home by herself for a few minutes after school.
Staci got to have a friend over after school who rode the bus home with her. They only got to have their play date for an hour though. We had to get homework done before dinner & heading to soccer practice.
Dad got home just when Mom was making dinner with the DVD from his football camp last month. So while he started that we all watched it off & on until dinner was ready. It was fun watching it and seeing Dad act like a drill instructor.
Kaitlyn's soccer practice went well and she actually did drills this week instead of just doing a scrimmage game the entire time. She is enjoying this new sport and is starting to kick the ball well.
Once we got home it was cranky kids, mostly Staci. She was upset and wanted to finish her piano practicing. But it was time for showers. She was stomping, kicking and throwing stuff around.
Somehow we need to figure out a way to make Tuesdays not so stressful & a little more fun, even though they are going to be go, go, go until soccer is over next month.
