Friday (3/23) Last day of school before spring break!! We were all dragging to get up, but we made it to school and work on time. I was subbing a full day today, for a 4th grade teacher in the morning and the same class I was in all week in the afternoon. I enjoyed being in the 4th grade class much more than I expected to, they were all really good kids. Then I headed down to the class I've been in all week where we teachers had a taco bar for lunch. Everything was so good, I ate so much and it was wonderful! We watched a movie and had a pretty calm afternoon, other than another fire drill, my second of the week. We finished up the day and I headed home with Daniel and Zak for our week off. We came home and found out that AJ got all A's this quarter and received a gold card! We are very proud of how hard he has been working this school year!
I relaxed a little at home and got everything set up for a busy night, then I headed out to work at the church for a few hours. It was a pretty quiet night at the church and I got a lot done while I was working. I also sat, a lot, which was awesome after a super busy week! When my group left for the night, I headed to Chuy's at Easton to meet up with some Zumba instructor friends outside of a gym. We had a great dinner together and we laughed a lot!! I'm hoping we get to do it again very soon! When I got home I was so tired that I pretty much went right to bed while Adrian stayed up watching college basketball.
Saturday (3/24) I slept like a rock last night and was shocked when my alarm went off to wake me up to get ready for Zumba this morning. Everyone else was already up when I got up. I got ready for class & took Daniel and Zak with me to the Y. I had a great class, lots of energy from a huge crowd! Then on the way home, the three of us stopped at an egg hunt at a local church. We enjoyed hunting for eggs, playing games, eating lunch and meeting the Easter Bunny. It was a great afternoon together.
While we were out doing that, AJ and Adrian were also very busy. AJ had soccer practice in the morning. He did a great job with all of his drills! While he was there, Adrian ran to Kohl's to pick up some new clothes for work. Then they came home, warmed up, had lunch and headed back out to do a service project with AJ's Scout troop. They helped to build a raised flower bed at the local elementary school for one of the other Scout's Eagle Scout project. AJ said it was fun but hard work!
When we all finally got home from all of that, we got a few things done around the house and then settled in for a family movie night. It was AJ's pick and he has been asking to watch the Indiana Jones movies since we saw the stunt show in Disney in Dec. So we watched "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and everyone loved it! Even Zak watched the full movie and gave it two thumbs up. We are all excited to watch the rest of the series together. After we calmed down from the excitement of the movie, the boys headed to bed and went right to sleep after the busy day. Adrian and I finished up a few things and then he watched basketball while I headed to bed as well. Super full and fun family Saturday!
Sunday (3/25) We all slept in a little and then got up and got ready to head to church as a family. We went to first service together and then Adrian took the boys home and I stayed to volunteer for the second service. They had lunch and got ready to head to swimming for the afternoon. While they were at the Y for swimming, I got as much done around the house as I could. Just before they got home, Carl, Sarah, Isabelle and Vinnie arrived to celebrate my birthday a few days early! We enjoyed a nice visit together including lots of cousins playing time, basketball, delicious pizza and three birthday cakes! They left and we were all pretty wiped out from another busy day. The boys cleaned up then headed up to bed. Adrian and I did a few more things, watched a few comedies and headed to bed ourselves. I'm very glad I don't have an alarm for tomorrow morning!!
Monday (3/26) It's the boys' first official day of spring break!! They honestly don't want to do a whole lot this break, lots of resting and video game watching. Since the weather forecast isn't great and I'm working a lot this week I'm mostly OK with their decision. I'm mostly looking forward to sleeping in a little, which I did today. We had a lazy morning, then we got ready and headed to the Y for my Silver Sneakers class. The boys were thrilled that Kids Time was opened and they didn't have to "go in with the babies." After class, we came home and hung out all afternoon before heading back to the Y for my Zumba class in the afternoon. We played outside for a while since we probably won't be able to the rest of the week.
After we got home from Zumba the boys decided they wanted to ride their bikes for a while, so they did that while I was cooking dinner. The last lap Zak was taking forever and we weren't sure what happened. Then we saw him round the corner pushing his bike instead of riding it. Turns out one of his training wheels broke! We told him that means it's time to learn how to ride a two wheeler. He doesn't agree. After dinner, Adrian and AJ headed out to his Boy Scout meeting while I hung out at home with the other boys. When everyone got home, we got the boys to bed and then enjoyed a few comedies before heading to bed ourselves.
Tuesday (3/27) Happy Birthday to me!! I got to sleep in a little this morning before waking up to the boys all singing and screaming happy birthday! Unfortunately we had a full day so we had to get up and moving right away. We headed to Harcum where I taught two Silver Sneakers classes and had a small birthday party with all of my students. The boys loved hanging out and eating cupcakes with everyone. Then we ran to pick up lunch and head to the Y where I taught a third Silver Sneakers class for the day. After class we headed to the pediatrician for well checks for Daniel and Zak. They are both doing great, growing a ton and looking great.
When we finally got home after a long day, Adrian surprised us by already being home from work. We relaxed a little at home and I started reading thru the tons of Facebook posts and messages from friends. I really enjoy birthdays and hearing from a lot of the people in my life. I certainly felt the love today! After a little relaxing, we headed out to Red Robin for dinner. The food was great as always but the service was just OK. But we made the best of it and had a fun night. After dinner we came home and the boys gave me my birthday presents - a bunch of new shirts. I got 3 for subbing and 3 for teaching exercise classes. After we digested a little, we had more ice cream cake and then got the boys to bed. Adrian and I watched the Roseanne reboot. It was OK, I laughed a lot but a lot of it seemed forced. And there are a lot of questions that they didn't answer. We'll keep watching. After that we headed to bed since we have an early play date tomorrow for the boys.
Wednesday (3/28) Today started super early when Daniel woke me up at 2:00am and we never really went back to sleep. I took a few short naps before finally getting up at around 6:45. He did the same but only stayed in bed until 5:30 when he went to find Adrian "because this is what time Dad normally gets up." The only good thing about getting up so early is that we were ready when AJ's friend David came over to hang with us all day while his parents were at work. The boys all had a great day playing together and all got along really well! I barely knew any of them were here and I was able to get a bunch of stuff done around the house while they played.
After David left, we took some time to get some homework done and then we headed to the Y for my Zumba class. It was a rough class for me since I was so tired, but we had a great time anyway. And I was sweating like crazy so that means it was a great workout! After class we headed back home and had a delicious dinner together. Then Adrian took over with the boys while I went out to run a few errands. I went to Giant Eagle, Kroger, Krispy Kreme and Dollar Tree before I was too exhausted to do any more. So I headed home, helped put the boys to bed and unloaded all of the groceries. When we finished cleaning up, we settled in to watch Survivor and then headed to bed.
Thursday (3/29) Thankfully we all got a great night of sleep last night!! Unfortunately, I had to wake AJ and Daniel up so we could get ready to go since I was working all day today. We quickly got up and moving and headed to the Harcum Center so I could teach my two Silver Sneakers classes. When we were done, we picked up my free omelette from First Watch and ran home for a quick lunch. Then we headed to the Y so I could teach my third Silver Sneakers class of the day. After that class, it was finally time for some fun! We headed to Glow Putt (Zak has been asking to go for weeks!) for a round of mini golf. The boys had fun playing & since they didn't want me to play, I had a great time observing and cheering for them.
After a fun round of golf, we headed to the library so the boys could get some new books and movies. We surprisingly found Cars 3 on the shelves so we'll be watching that soon as a family movie night. After we loaded up on library items, we headed next door to Dairy Queen to redeem coupons the boys had for free ice cream cones. We all enjoyed our ice cream treat! Adrian met us there and took the boys home while I ran to Meijer to pick up a few things and then to teach class number 4 of the day, a Zumba class at Alliance Data. When I finally got home after class, I was sore and exhausted. I enjoyed a delicious dinner that Adrian had made and then we just hung out and relaxed the rest of the night. After we got the boys to bed, Adrian and I enjoyed a few of our favorite comedies (Bill Gates on Big Bang was hilarious!) and then headed to bed. He is off tomorrow so we are excited for a three day weekend together!
