Wednesday September 9

I got some cleaning on the house done today.

Laundry from the trip, etc.....

Elsie went to class pretty good.

I did stay for about 10 minutes, but then left and all was good.

She said she had a really good day.

Today was picture day, so they were excited about that.

But the best part is they get to eat lunch in the classrooms because the photo stuff is set up in the lunchroom.

Always a highlight :)

I also did my grocery shopping and made some zucchini bread for the kids after school.

I also made some to take to my YW group tonight.

Vern brought the little kids home to Madi because Cassi had a XC meet today.

It was a hard one!

Coming off the long weekend, eating not so good, not drinking good.

And it was HOT today!

Cass kept getting shin splints and didn't quite make the time she did last week.

But I told her it's no big deal.

You just keep trying :)

We will be more careful about drinking water next week, and maybe stretch better.

She enjoys being with her friends, but I definitely think that it is harder than she expected.

And there are some fast kids on the team!

The girl who got first got just over 8 minutes!

For a mile and a half!!!!!!

Crazy!!!!!

But I don't want Cass to get discouraged!

This is her first year, she is still trying to figure out what will work best.

I know she will improve and do great :)

As soon as the meet was over, we ran home and got changed and then I took Cassi and Elsie to Activity Days.

I stayed with Elsie because she didn't want to go if I was leaving.

I want her to get in the habit of going, because I know she will love it!

I will help the nest two times because one of the leaders is getting surgery and needs a sub, so I volunteered.

Hopefully I can get Elsie to see that it is FUN!!!!!

Well, then we came home, I made dinner quick and then before you know it, Madi and I were off to YW.

This is our first time without Madi with us :(

We did a service project.

We cleaned the nursery toys and also did some organizing of folders for the primary.

It was a good night.

While we were gone, Cassi got Elsie and Porter to do their homework!

Rock on!

I hurried and got them to bed, then Cassi and Madi  finished their homework.

Oh man......homework makes me so mad!

They are gone all day at school, and then the time we are left with them at home, they are stuck doing homework!!!!!!

Finish time:
