Today-our day off!

Well, Fridays are our day off...we work really hard Mon-Thur to get all our school work done and then try to do fun stuff on Fridays. Sometimes...Friday is our catch up day...but most of the time we get to play.

Today, we went to the gym-they love to go there and play-then we went to Hancock Fabrics. We picked out some patterns, they picked out a craft to make, then headed home. The girls had to use their allowance money to buy their crafts...so they had to count out their money at the store.

They wanted to go to McDonald's. I told them I was broke so they would have to use their money...they were so excited to do that. So I helped them figure out how much their lunch was.

We arrived home and waited for the electrician to come. Our garage door stopped working. We found out it was the computer board in the motor that is fried...so we will have to see if we can replace that without having to buy the whole motor...and of course...our home warranty doesn't cover that.

I also wanted to get an estimate to see how much it would cost to put a flood light at the front of our garage and one in the back yard. That was $128 for each light plus the cost of the lights. So that will be on hold...probably til tax refund time...hopefully. The girls have really been playing outside so much more.

Hannah finally learned to ride her bike so she loves to be out there!

After they left, I showered and put Autumn down for a nap. The girls and I played twister...I am so not flexible like I used to be and then we played a really fun game Hyperdash. It plays a lot like the old Simon we played when we were kids...but it can be played inside or out. Its a great memory-concentration game. That was a lot of fun!

Then we got ready for supper, cooked, the kids in the shower, Chad played Uno with them and then off to bed.

It was a busy day off...like most of ours.

The girls will be starting Upwards next week...so that will add to our busy life...Hannah will be cheering and Mikayla playing basketball. We are excited to see them involved...but know it will be taxing to our tired bodies...
