Summer Week 5

Wow its crazy to think how we are marching through summer! So this past week on Monday we just went over to my parent's house to swim. It felt good to relax and get in the pool. We hung around there for a couple hours and even had lunch with them. I really do love that routine. I always think we are going to have so many "swim days" during the summer then it usually ends up we can only go 1 or 2 times a week. It was nice though. Afterwards we came home and just did our usual relaxing and spending time outside. 
Tuesday was an early start to the day. I began the day with an interview...yes and interview! I had applied for the 1st grade job at Calvary. Shocking how my life has changed in a year?!? Anyway I was a little nervous, but not terribly. The interview was set up in a panel discussion form. It was also sort of casual b/c we were in a circle. The group consisted of Marsha (the principal), Ms. Dugas, Mrs. Birden, and Mrs. G. I was odd in a way bc of how well I know all these ladies. I felt pretty good about the interview though. It lasted about an hour total. There were a few questions I wasn't exactly sure how to respond, but I just tried to be honest and be myself! Once we finished the interview I was ready to come home. I got the kids and we just spent the afternoon relaxing. My brain was pretty fried by that point! I am loving our afternoons though! I know I will greatly miss these days when school starts back! 
Wednesday I promised the kids a big outing. I feel bad this summer b/c it seems we haven't been able to do our "big bucket" list things like usual. We ended up going to play putt-putt. Even though it was simple we had a lot of fun. It was hot though. We just played one game then came on home. I didn't want to be away too long since we had church that night. Church was good and the kids had a lot of fun. They had messy night which was interesting. The kids were happy as always to be around other kids. Oh and before church we ended up meeting my parents at Cane's b/c they were having Shepherd's Pie for dinner and none of us were too crazy about that option. 
Thursday we had an early start again b/c I had an interview. I once again dropped my kids off with my parents. This interview was just with Marsha. I was a lot less nervous and honestly most of the time we just chatted. It felt less formal. Anyway by the end she basically told me I had the job! I left there and got the kids and we met Mrs. Dufrene for lunch. It was good to hang out with a friend and also tell her all about the interview process. We had a nice time. Once we got home it was pretty late in the day. We had a low key afternoon/evening from there. 
Friday we had another busy day planned. Lindsay's little friend Genevieve was coming over to spend the day with us. She arrived about 10. I let the girls play for about 30 min before heading out. We left to visit the library. Colby was wanting to check out some new books. We didn't see anything though so we went on to the park. We spent about 45 minutes at the park. It was hot and the only did that didn't seem miserable was Genevieve haha! My kids complained a bit, but I think it was still nice for them to be outdoors awhile. After the park we went on over to chickfila to meet Natalie and have lunch. We had a really nice lunch and it was great visiting with a friend again. After lunch I brought the kids back here and they hung out and played all afternoon. Genevieve left at about 3:30. From there we just had a quiet night. 
Saturday I was up pretty early. I had breakfast plans with my friend Carly. Again I was happy to hang out with a friend and also escape the kids for a little while. I truly love summer and having my kids home, but also the 24/7 some days does get old. So I really enjoyed a little "me time". After we ate I went on to Target. Again another lovely thing to shop by myself. Once I got home we were pretty much in packing for the beach mode and stayed in the rest of the day.
