Something New

This Monday is no different from any other mad Monday, just with a little twist. I was asked by our church’s children’s ministry director if I would help with watching the 0-5 year olds in a Mom’s Morning Out for a couple of hours each week for the next few months. I am honored that she thought of me for the position. It will be a blast, I just love the little ones. This afternoon I need to do laundry as we had no time to do any this weekend.
A little recap of our weekend:
Saturday my brother in law came over and showed me the tricks to the second coat of drywall compound (mudding). I am glad to say we got quite a bit of it done, I will be working in the later part of the week to finish it, so that this Saturday we can start the third coat. I am also proud of myself, this is my first time of finishing drywall, and I got his stamp of approval. That really  means something, he has a very high standard of workmanship. The bitter part of this bitter-sweat moment is,  Brenda will expect this standard on future projects. I hope is not a fluke!
Saturday night the family and I went to see my niece perform in Bye Bye Birdie at her high school musical. The girls really enjoyed the show, and I was amazed at the amount of talent within the group. It was a great program.
Sunday Brenda fell ill with some sort of stomach bug. The girls and I went to Church but skipped Sunday School since we did not get to bed until 11:30. After Church we had a quick lunch here at home and then both girls went to pool party for the afternoon(as noted in a post below via a photo). They had a lot of fun, but were exhausted this morning. It was a challenge getting them on the bus, a lot of moans and groans. But we did it. Brenda was actually back to normal yesterday evening. Good because someone has to make the money around here. All I seem to do is figure out new ways to spend it. Just kidding!
Thanks for taking time to visit. You might have noticed the changes I made on Sunday to this blog. Thanks for those leaving input, and if you have any suggestions or questions of how I created this multipage blog within blogger drop me a line from the contact page.
