I felt like last week I complained wrote enough about the week, so I didn't do my week in review. I did miss out on recording our day Saturday at an oyster roast, and I want to make sure I have a reminder for next year to wear more clothes. Lolli came to keep Avery and we traveled across the state line mid-afternoon. I don't eat oysters but they did have other seafood that was good. I also do not drink beer, and feel like I noticed the cold way before anyone else. The forecast for 55 degrees had me fooled and I needed some additional layers. We got home while Avery was eating dinner. She had of course had a wonderful time, and I was happy to be home to put her to bed.
We went to Sunday School Sunday, and Avery continues to do well in her class. I think it's the snacks that the teacher whips at as soon as we walk in the door. We ate dinner with Mimi that night, and I came home with the intentions of doing school work, but TV, internet, and Kindle won out.
It was a crazy week at school with early release Monday and Tuesday and no school for students Wednesday. We had a professional day and all craved time to work in our rooms, but that usually doesn't happen. On Friday we did ice cream sundaes as a reward for learning the times tables. Ten of my 20 students mastered all the way to the 10s times tables and had a nice looking sundae. We strategically placed this at the end of the day so that they would go home to their parents nice and sugary.
Avery had a good week as well. Her eyes were watery when I picked her up Friday, and Jennifer said she had been sneezing. She ran a little fever that night, so we decided to order in Mexican instead of going out. The kitchen was filthy from where they had finally started working that day, but I hated to take her out in the rain. I was able to do some cooking at home this week, and it was nice for the 3 of us to sit at our table together.
Avery stayed in her bed Saturday morning until 8 am when I made Ned go in and get her. She looked much better and seemed to feel good. It was a rainy day so we tried to get some things done around the house. Ned and Avery went to Lowe's before lunch, and I went to Walmart after her nap. I bought no food to cook meals this week and still managed to spend $100. The Walmart bill is driving me crazy and my goal is to work towards cutting it down. Lolli and Poppa came to visit before dinner, and we took them to FoSho. Avery went straight to bed when we got home, Ned worked on hanging blinds to replace one's Felix had chewed (I think we're at 8 sets now) and I was unproductive instead of doing work for my class.
It should be another busy week. We're going to Lucas and Kristin's to watch the Super Bowl until Avery's bedtime. I have parent-teacher conferences this week and Ned has a DU meeting to begin planning their banquet. They come to sand the drywall Monday, which I'm not looking forward to, but I'm hoping to have a completed kitchen by mid-week.
