Friday (5/24) Last day of school!! Everyone got up on time and were so excited to go to school for the last time this year. I can't believe how fast this school year went, time flies when you're having fun. Adrian dropped AJ off at school and then came back home to help get the other two boys ready. We walked them up to school for the day and then we headed out to Easton for a day date while they were at school. We went to breakfast at Northstar and then a wine tasting at Cooper's Hawk. It was a lot of fun to reconnect and enjoy some one on one time. After some fun, we did a few errands including a quick Costco trip, picking up bagels at Panera and donuts at Krispy Kreme. We came home and waited until the end of the school day to pick everyone up.
I headed into West at the end of the day to take pictures with teachers and say goodbye to most of the staff. Daniel and most of his class were super upset after the traditional clap out of that school. He is upset that he's going to a different school, some of his classmates won't be there with him and that I won't be subbing much in that school. He was so upset that he got me all upset as well. After we walked home, mostly crying the whole walk, Zak also started crying that he will miss his friends and teacher over the summer. So much for being excited for break!
We turned things around with some video games and then a family trip to the Franklin County animal shelter to check out a dog we're interested in. Unfortunately we knew immediately that he wasn't the dog for us. But thankfully we kept looking and we found the perfect dog for our family. We adopted Nick into our family tonight just as the shelter was closing for the night. We brought him home after a quick stop to PetSmart for some essentials and spent the rest of the night adjusting to him and letting him adjust to us. He's a one year old mutt who seems to be house trained and know some basic commands. We're super excited to see where this new adventure will take us!!
Saturday (5/25) We all got a great night of sleep and were able to sleep in this morning for the first time in a long time. We had a lazy morning and honestly a very lazy day. We spent a lot of time playing with Nick and getting adjusted to having a dog in the house with us. We also played a ton of board games including Escape (twice), Thanos Rising (twice), Good Cop, Bad Cop (twice), Gizmos and Valeria. We got a few things done in between games, mainly trying to get caught up with dishes and laundry. Other than that, we just relaxed, enjoyed spending time together and ate a lot of junk food. It was a fantastic kick off to summer and it was exactly what we wanted for today. It was also the kick off to our everyone picks an activity each week and this was Adrian's pick for this week. We are so excited to get back to this for the summer, we love having a schedule but it really cramps our fun times!
Sunday (5/26) We once again slept in today and it was glorious. This is what I'm most looking forward to over the summer because I am not a morning person. After sleeping in, we had a relaxing morning and then headed to second service at church to hear a great sermon on Lydia. After church, we came home to find out our power was out, but thankfully it was restored within the hour. We thought we were going to just chill, but then my brother called and asked if they could come by to meet the dog, so they did. We had a nice visit with them and enjoyed some delicious BBQ as well. The dog freaked out at first but calmed down soon after he got used to Carl, Sarah and the kids. After they left, we cleaned up a little and then did Daniel's pick for the week of a family movie night. We watched "The Kid Who Would be King." It was really fun & interesting, all 5 of us enjoyed it. When it was over, we got the boys down and then Adrian and I hung out for a little and then headed to bed too. It was another great, lazy day here!!
Monday (5/27) Happy 13th Anniversary to me and Adrian!! We slept in today and then he made us breakfast sandwiches to kick off the celebration. We spent the day hanging out, getting a few things done and relaxing again. We also did AJ's pick for the week of playing a full game of Five Nights at Freddy's monopoly. We made it almost to the end before everyone got really bored and it was apparent that either Adrian or Daniel were going to win, so we ended the game and called it a tie. When the game was over, we spent the rest of the night eating, playing, relaxing and doing a few things to get ready for the week. At the end of the day, we celebrated our anniversary with some leftover ice cream cakes as a family (partly just to make some room in our freezer!) Then we got the boys to bed, finished our bottle of wine from yesterday and headed to bed for the night. Both of us have to go back to work tomorrow so this little mini-vacation is over. We had an awesome 4 day weekend though!!
Tuesday (5/28) Back to work today for the adults and the first day of summer break for the kids. Adrian got up early and headed out to work for the day. I got up soon after and got ready and headed out to the Harcum Center to teach my Silver Sneakers classes. I taught the two morning ones, then ran home to give everyone lunch and ran back to teach the third class in the afternoon. It was rough doing that and I felt like I didn't have much of a fun day at all. I'm very glad I decided to give up the afternoon class for the summer! While I was gone, the boys spent the day playing video games and uploading YouTube videos.
The day passed quickly for us and soon it was time to get ready for our evening. Unfortunately Adrian came home from work early because he wasn't feeling well. His stomach was bothering him so he came home to rest while I took Daniel to his soccer game. It was the first game of the end of season tournament. Unfortunately his team didn't pull out a win tonight so their season is over. It was a rough season for the, lots of losses and hopefully lots of growing. Daniel has decided that soccer isn't for him so this really was his last game.
When we got home, Adrian was in rough shape so he went to bed while I got the boys through their night routine. AJ was also not feeling well so it seems like a stomach bug may be going thru the house. I got the boys down to bed, did a few things to clean up the house and headed to bed early too, in hopes of getting some good rest and fighting off whatever is going on with Adrian and AJ.
Wednesday (5/29) and Thursday (5/30) were pretty much lost days. Adrian and AJ started Wednesday sick and by the end of the day, Zak and I joined them. Adrian and I took turns taking care of the kids and sleeping in our room. It has been a rough few days and we are really hoping to feel better tomorrow so we can go on with our planned activities this weekend, including AJ's birthday party. Thankfully Daniel is feeling OK and is able to help out a little, and Nick is keeping watch over all of us. Praying we feel better tomorrow!!
