This weekend was a much more normal weekend. We were winding down from break and this weekend was the capstone to a great break. Time to get everyone back into a routine, and back to going to bed at a decent time. This last one was a bit of a pipe dream...
Friday night, Lara was off to babysit again. She got a referral from her client last weekend, and spent this Friday night with 3 kids ranging in age from 7 years to 18 months. She came home and told us this was the most interesting 7 year old she had ever been around. I guess her brother isn't as cool as her babysitting kids! But, she is glad to have some cash in her pocket to gas up her car.
Saturday, Emma came to Stillwater and spent some time with her brother Jake, They went to lunch, and ran around town together. The went to shoe stores and looked and or tired on shoes Jake wants for his birthday. They went to all the places Emma wanted to go to, as well. Lastly, they went to the fabric store to buy fabrics for Emma's latest project - "Wild Rags." She wants to make them and sell them to her friends for way less than retail, but enough to make her some spending money!
Meanwhile, Lara spent her day with my 3rd redheaded daughter, Erika. They went to lunch together and ran some errands together as well. They ended up with matching Queen t-shirts today after they recently saw the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" and are in love with the band. Somehow appropriate that the actor who played Freddie Mercury in the film, Rami Malik, won the Golden Globe Award for best actor on Sunday, and the move won for best film this year! They are on trend!
Sunday was a lazy day for Lara, resting, getting organized for the semester, church, dinner, family meeting, watching the Golden Globes. But, it was an adventurous one for Emma. Emma was supposed to meet a friend from Morrison, along with his family, at church Sunday morning. She went through Perry, as she needed gas, and "breakfast" from the convenience store. When she went back out to her truck, it would not start. She had to ask other customers for help. Long story short, she learned a little more about her truck, never made it to church, and called both her grandfathers for advice. She ended up driving to Newkirk to exchange vehicles with her grandfather so she has something to drive for the week, and so that he could work on the truck. Not the way she wanted to spend her Sunday, but it's one she won't forget soon!
There are no pictures from the weekend. Here's to the first week of the new semester!
