We didn't make any big plans for our week off, but we had lots and lots of little ones. I was trying to get the older girls together with friends that they don't see much during the busy life of school days and activities!
Monday we had some friends to the house for crafts and fun (plus I took Allia and her friend to Grand Station for just a bit so they could use Allia's goal cards from swimming). Two of them had a sleepover at the friends' house that night.
Tuesday we went to jumping world with some more friends. Everyone had a great time, and Austin was off so Cecilia stayed with him. Yay!
Wednesday we took a family day to clean up the yard and get it ready for spring! Everyone did a great job helping out, and we finished off the day with daily mass.
Thursday was ice skating with friends. The rink was colder than usual, so it was almost penitential! Then we went to the park with some friends in the late afternoon.
Friday was a little lower key, or at least it was supposed to be. Allia just had a swim friend over, and I dropped them off at a movie (her first time without an adult!). But then an opportunity to visit our dear friend Kathy came up, so I went with a friend to see her. Then someone spontaneously organized a prayer vigil for her before stations that evening. Austin ended up singing for that. So it turned out to be a busy afternoon/evening!
What a week. And now we jump back in to finish out the school year with a whole lot going on...
