Time to Relax

It has been a very busy week!  The highlight of the week was that Calah has now mastered her two-wheel bike.  She really was good last weekend, but this week she has practiced almost every day, and today she rode two miles with Chuck on the bike trail.  She is so proud of herself..and so are we.  She also got to finally start to learn cursive.  All is well in Calah's world!

And Gabe is good.  He was sick last weekend, but I think he has finally kicked that bug.  He had a Thanksgiving feast at school on Friday and Mimi and Papa came to see it.  That made him very happy.  He loves the Native American headdress and necklace that he made.  And he made a drum at his other preschool, so he is all set!

Chuck is off to the train show tomorrow, so he will be gone all day, and Monday will be interesting for him.  He has his first blood drive as NHS adviser and he also has to pick up his wreath order for the German club.  Really busy day.  I hope that everything goes well for him.  By the time Thursday rolls around, he will have earned a little vacation!

As for me, we had a lock-in on Friday night for leukemia.  We raised about $250, so I was pretty happy.  The kids that came seemed to have fun, and that is what counts.  I have an incredible executive board this year and one of my officers planned and organized this event.  I did almost nothing, a few last minute details, signing paperwork, and showing up for the event.  And we all had a good time.  I even beat a couple of girls at the X-box Kinect dance game.  I know, I rock.....

Today I saw my sister-in-law and twin nieces on their way to a swim meet.  I hope Abby got her second metal today!  I am very proud of my nieces and nephews and all they do.

I also went shopping with my sister and my mom.  We had a really nice lunch at The Olive Garden (yummy...shrimp caprese!), and then to the mall for a little shopping.  The best part was really just hanging out with my mom and sister.  A good girls day.

So tomorrow is a time to relax, sort of.  With Chuck gone, it will be me and the kids and the laundry.  But there will some relaxing, absolutely, some relaxing!
