This was another busy week:
- Swimming practice
- Choir practice
- Faith Formation class
- Poker for Brian
- 1st Grade Performance
- Brian’s Grandpa’s Internment
- Kid’s singing in Sunday Mass
Other non-planned things:
- Kailan falling in the shower
- The clutch breaking on our lawn mower
Oh yes, we have survived another week…WhooHoo! It was another week of good family time and seeing each other after being sequestered over our not-so-long-or-really-very-cold-winter.
The blooms are blooming. Oh, how I love the springtime blooming trees.
Anya performed admirably in her part as the scarecrow. She wasn’t overly fond of her costume, but she overcame her trauma of being cast as a scarecrow instead of a flower to say her lines loud and proud. She said one of her friend’s had the part of a “child” (not too much of a theatrical stretch), and her costume was going to be clothes with dirt on it. I think she understood her part, and is quite the character actress.
Anya had a little hoe-down dance with another little boy in the performance. They were pretty cute together! She said she got that part because she volunteered for it. She does love to dance.
Kailan had another traumatic fall in the shower. The kid has inherited my predilection towards hurting himself (a.k.a. he is quite clumsy). I’m not sure how he managed to scrape up his esophagus, but he did a doozy of a job on it. It was bleeding a little bit, so I slathered it with Neosporin and gave him some Advil so he could go to sleep.
He asked me, “Am I going to be able to go to school tomorrow?”.
Yes, Kiddo. You don’t get a sick day for being a klutz. 😉
We went up north for Grandpa Howard’s internment last weekend. He was cremated after his death last December, so this was the burial in the cemetery. We all went out for lunch afterwards, and then back to the farm. It was so nice to see everyone again.
Susie and Jerry had gotten a few loads of wood delivered after helping a friend cut a whole bunch of wood. Kailan decided to try to build a cat house. In his good clothes, of course.
They put one of the barn cats in the house and surprisingly he stayed in there for more than just a moment! It didn’t really have much in the way of comfort, with a cement floor and all. Kailan tried his best, though.
I took a few pictures of the kids singing at Mass, but there were a bunch of other kids in the photos. I won’t post those online. That will be for the 2012 photo book. I am grateful that they decided to volunteer to sing, as the choir director was short on kids. Kailan lost his place in the music book most of the time from what I could tell. They didn’t follow the music all that well, but Anya had it mostly memorized so she didn’t need to look at the pages. That’s all right, though. It was another experience for them, and at least they tried!
What a week. This time of year seems to be SO busy. The warmer weather helps with the sanity though.
Glad Anya had fun in her performance (dance makes all things better!)
And I’m still shocked at how grown Kailan looks… impossible!
Loving those spring flowering shots, beautiful!
Nice to catch up on your doings. Your shower sounds like ours. Deadly! Some ditz decided to floor our shower in the same tiles as the walls ie NOT floor tiles therefore slippery! Add that to the sharp track for the sliding door and you have a nasty combination. Our kids have mainly managed to skin shins. The throat graze is pretty impressive !!!!!
