Busy week!

Another busy week down - wow!

I currently have only 1 day left of classes - yay!

The children are counting down their days of school as well - but they are more excited for summer, swim lessons and our many little "day-cations" that we have planned!

The new puppy is adapting well - Oreo still is not sure of her, but he seems to be adjusting ok. He is getting more brave and will go near her now for short periods of time. The kids keep trying to tell him she's his wife, but so far, he's not buying it!

Friday night Son and Hubby went to Father Jerome's house to see if he has ever been fishing - he had, but hadn't gotten his new license yet - so they took a walk to the gas station and picked up licenses and then down to the local pond to check it out - they could literally HEAR the fish jumping out of the water!!  Father asked them to meet at 6 a.m. - he had a funeral and then meetings in the afternoon and that would get him some good fishing time.

So, on Saturday morning, all the kiddos got up and went fishing (well, except for baby!) They had a great time, but we kidded that Father must have blessed the worms, because he was the only one who caught any fish! :)  Everyone did have a great time though!

Daughter #3 had a birthday party to go to for a classmate, so we made sure she made it out there and went back to pick her up - in-between times, a good friend and her son came to visit. It was a wonderful time and provided a good break to the "normal!"

Hubby went to The Highgrounds and saw a "Helicopter expo" - they also had many Vietnam planes, vehicles, etc there. We had called his dad the week before (he's a Vietnam Vet), so they met there. Hubby said that it was a fun time and took lots of pictures.

Sunday was another pretty busy day. Father called at 8 and asked if we were coming to 8:30 Mass as normal. I said yes....he was having printer problems and couldn't print his homily (this has happened a couple of times, usually on a Saturday night though!) but, alas, while we were chatting, the printer worked! During his homily, I leaned over and told Hubby that Father should have an iPad so that he could just bring that up to the pulpit instead of the papers - he wouldn't even have to print!! LOL I'm on a mission to win one - we'll see how that goes! :)

In the afternoon, Hubby took the girls to their piano recital. I was unable to go this time, as baby hadn't had a nap in TWO DAYS and was extremely exhausted - so I stayed home so she could have her nap. They did very well and got lots of compliments. While they were gone, Father called and wanted to go fishing - since Hubby wasn't here, he said that he would go down and to send him down when he got home. I invited him over for a fire around suppertime - fires in the pit in the summer are our favorite activity! We made the fish on the tri-pod (which Father LOVED and decided that he needed one for when HE had guests - oh, he loved the fish too!) We did the fish with onions, garlic/onion salt and butter -- YUMMY!!

Anyway - I have delayed posting this for 3 days now because I am only working on it in bits and pieces, so this will have to do, if I ever want to post it!
