Happy Tuesday! Hope you are having a good week so far. I’m sharing my weekly recap today and linking up with Holly and Sarah this week, so here is the recap!
Monday November 2.
No pictures today! Huxley stayed home with Kevin, he just loves it. Hadley has been staying after school on Mondays for homework club. They can sign up and stay for an hour after school to do homework, read, whatever they want to do. I love that Hadley is wanting to do this on her own, she has peace and quiet, and gets all her homework done to start her week!
After I picked Hadley up, we headed home so she could get ready for volleyball practice. Kevin had a work detail and went to the UC Bearcat basketball game this night. Huxley and I dropped Hadley off at school for volleyball, and then went back home to hangout for an hour. Good thing school is only a 6 minute commute!
Tuesday November 3.
Happy Election day! I voted before work. The poll location for us recently changed and it was so weird! It was at a hotel, and you had to go up two floors on the elevator, and the polling booths were setup in this small crammed conference room type setting. It was odd, but I did my civic duty! Did you read my blog post about voting last week? In case you missed it, you can read it here. After I picked up the kids at school, we got ready to take Hadley to hitting and catching. Tuesdays are busy!
Wednesday November 4.
From time to time throughout the day, I check on Huxley at school. They were inside since it was raining, and they were doing the good ole fashion parachute game! Huxley loved it! After work I ran some errands, and picked up some things. Kohls, and Walgreens. At Kohls I picked up a fun advent calendar for Hadley, and at Walgreens a few things for a coworker leaving. Kevin took Hadley to softball, while Huxley and I hung out in the dark at home.
Thursday November 5.
When we got home from work and school, we saw this big fella in the backyard just chilling! Hadley kept tapping the window to get him to move, but he didn’t budge. I packed up all the goodies for the coworker leaving. After work and school, Huxley and I dropped off Hadley to volleyball practice. And then Huxley and I headed to the library, we returned his books from the week before and he picked out some more! It’s become a weekly routine!
Friday November 6.
TGIF! For once in a long time, we had nothing to do on a Friday night! Hadley has been having softball practice on Friday nights, but now that fall ball is over we have no practice Friday nights! And I was so excited.
After work, I changed into some comfy clothes and was ready to just chill out at home for the evening! I picked Huxley up at school, and he looked exhausted so we didn’t do much when we got home. I had an idea, and wasn’t sure he would be up for it, but I handed him the Amazon and Walmart holiday catalog and had him circle the toys and items he was interested in. When I was little, I remember circling things in the big Sears catalog so I try and do the same things for Hadley and Huxley. Surprisingly enough, he was all about circling things! When Hadley got home from school, she did the same thing! I love that they will do that because it gives me some sort of an idea of the things they would like for Christmas.
Even though it was a Friday night, it was early to bed for all of us. Saturday and Sunday was going to be super busy!
Saturday November 7.
Ready for a busy weekend? Here we go. Saturday morning, I made my regular morning smoothie for breakfast. And then off to a volleyball game at 10am. Hadley really loves volleyball, not as much as softball, but on a different level. She is really good at it, she’s got a killer serve and a fantastic setter!
After volleyball, we all headed back home but to be off in different ways for the rest of the day. Kevin got ready to go to a work detail, he was working the FC soccer game. He dropped Hadley off at softball practice on his way to the detail. Huxley and I stayed home so he could take some sort of a nap. After about two hours or so, Huxley and I went to pick Hadley up at softball practice, and then she had a softball tryout! More to come on that. After the tryout, she had a tournament volleyball game. We basically lived out of the car today!
Sunday November 8.
A slow Sunday morning, which is what we needed after a busy Saturday! The kids had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, watched the Bengals game, and then we all cleaned up a little bit around the house. Kevin tried on his Class A uniform, he was going to a funeral Monday morning for a fallen firefighter that just died. So sad.
After lunch, Huxley took a nap, and then Kevin dropped Hadley off at her school a little early to watch the volleyball game before her game. After Huxley woke up, we headed to Hadley’s school for her volleyball game.
After volleyball game number three, Kevin and Huxley went home while I stayed with Hadley to watch more volleyball games. And then we went to volleyball game number four of the weekend. The game was a great back and forth game, it’s so fun to watch sixth graders play volleyball they have gotten really good!
After the volleyball game, we went out to dinner and then home for bed. We were all so tired! What a weekend for sure.
