The Week in Review

I just looked up and realized over a week has past since I posted anything here.  It has been one of those weeks.  While I will write in more detail on the past week later, here is the week in review.

Last Saturday Caelyn's new school had a play date for incoming kindergartners.  The whole family attended and Caelyn made some new friends. We don't know whose class she will be in yet.  We are hoping she will be placed with some of the kids she was running around with on the playground as they were fast friends.

(There could be trouble if these four are in the same class)

Sunday was church and house cleaning in preparation of our having a third child for the day on Monday. 

Monday Caelyn's pre-school friend Kate spent the day with us.  Kate and her family moved to Maryland on Wednesday so it was their last hurrah for a while, maybe ever.  They girls played hard and there were tears when it was over.

Tuesday we went into the city to see The Dirty Sock Funtime Band.  Caelyn, of course, spent her time up front and met the band.

We couldn't spend the day in the city as the ongoing saga of our washing machine continued (its been broken for a couple of months now) and yet another repairman was due that afternoon.

Wednesday was errands day as we had nothing planned.  It's amazing how much time simple errands can take with two kids in tow.

Thursday was Caelyn's 5th birthday.  Her party is not until the 14th but we celebrated as a family on Coney Island.  We took her to Ringling Bros. Illucination under the big top on the boardwalk. 

Friday held a visit for me to the ENT (everything is fine) and then off to get a new freezer as our fridge seems to be dying.  It appears all our appliances are in revolt. 

Then there is today.  Caelyn's friend Jesse is here for most of the day.  As I write this I can hear them playing in the living room.

So that has been our week.  There are some pretty fun stories and pictures to share but that will have to wait for another post.  One which hopefully will be written soon.
