Weekend roundups

Weekend recap!

Week two was better than the first.  Kids seemed to accept the new routine.  Noomi loves riding the bus and has started getting into her classroom routine.  I guess the first few days of school she refused to stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance.  But the teacher recently emailed me and said she finally joined the class (something Noomi had proudly told me as well when I picked her up from school).  I don’t have much to report about Ajax’s class as the kid tells me very little.  He said he likes his teacher, she seems nice.  That’s about it, lol.

On Saturday, both kids had their swim lessons.  They are both doing great!   Ajax can swim and is working on the backstroke.  Noomi can now float on her back and is getting the hang of swimming.  After swim class we did some grocery shopping, had some lunch and then zipped up to Owosso for Ajax’s first soccer game (hes’s #17).  Grandma Dara and Papa also came down for the game.  Ajax did great his first game, he was goal keeper for most of it and all the kids really seemed to have a good time.   At the end of the game, one kid asked, wow who won!?  Ajax’s team won.  Noomi had a blast playing with the other kids during the game, but wasn’t too interested in watching it.

After the game, we found some garage sales and the kids were thrilled to find some Transformers and action figures for $1.  They used their own money and were so excited with their finds.  Noomi picked our family movie of Feival Goes West, which I haven’t seen in over 20 years.

On Sunday, we all slept in, made a big breakfast and then did some general cleaning and work around the house.  The kids did their chores and then played outside.  Other than that it was a pretty quiet day.

Weekend roundup

Happy Labor Day folks!

The kids were happy to have their first week of school concluded.  Wish Noomi’s first week would’ve gone better, but we’re optimistic for her second week.

Both kids were home with Dave on Friday as I had to work.  After work I hit the salon and finally got my pixie cut that I’d always wanted.  I love it, but the kids not so much.  Ajax immediately asked how long it would take for my hair to grow back.  Noomi said I had boy hair (which of course resulted in a lengthy discussion regarding there is no boy hair or girl hair, etc.).  On the upside, I was able to donate it to Locks of Love, and that’s just pretty cool.

On Saturday, the kids had swim lessons and then we headed to Tecumseh to see Lisa and Doug’s new house on over 40 acres!  It was lovely and they are very excited to have so much space.

On Sunday, we did some grocery shopping and then Papa came over to watch the kids as we had my cousin Michael’s wedding in Dearborn (The Henry Ford).   The wedding was very nice, the food was great, and of course excellent company!

On Monday, Dave and I were pretty slow moving, but we managed to get the rest of our yard cleaned up and ready for Fall/Winter.  We’ve been working hard to get things cleared and put away as we understand that there is a distinct possibility that we may be moving this winter.  The kids played outside with the neighbors and had an overall relaxing day as well  We capped off our day with pizza and a family movie (ET).  The kids loved ET.
