2020 :: 39/52

 tuesday, i dropped trevor off at school and went to jodi's for work. i left tova/cranky pants home with Al and i think that's what she needed. 

 wednesday was field trip day again and this time we didn't go too far. just a couple miles away to trevor's school bestie, Liam's grandma and grandpa's house on the river. Liam's mom, cassie and his little brother Elliot came too. we got to go on a pontoon ride; we looked for turtles, went under the bridge we often drive over, saw the cliffs people jump off of, and then the kids swam in the river on their little beach. it was our last 80 degree day so it was a perfect day. right at the end before we headed home for lunch, the boys got to go in the hot tub to warm up. 

thursday was garage saling.

friday after school and after supper, trevor got to play in the neighbor's yard with some neighborhood girls that are also in 1st grade (one lives 2 houses down, the other right across the street from them and she's in trevor's class this year.) it was so fun for him to have neighborhood kids to play with!!

saturday morning mom came down and jodi and i went to a craft sale and ran a couple errands. during naptime, mom and i ran back to the big church garage sale. while we were shopping they announced that it was the last hour of shopping and everything was free. i found a hot dog costume for tova (had previously found one for trevor), some books, movies, crafting stuff and a whole box of hangers. then at 2 pm, matt and jodi came and picked up Al and I. we road tripped it down to nelson wisconsin to the delicious wood fired pizza place, the stone barn again. we stopped at a couple garage sales along the way. once there, we met shane, jodi and their 2 boys, and brohmer. smithers owns the pizza place and he was roommates with Al, Shane and Brohmer in college. smithers was busy but it was good to get them all together! we had a blast and a gorgeous day/night. we road tripped it back with a stop at a bar and then went to bed. 

sunday morning was spent picking out $2 pumpkins, playing with nana and playing in the leaves. nana left at nap time. i did get through some of the kids bigger clothes and found some halloween stuff for them. and had to pull out some of tova's 4t stuff since her t shirts are a bit small. 

monday morning i got a phone call from Al at work and he'd been having ankle pain all night and morning and was sent home to go in to urgent care in case it was a blood clot. so he went to the doctor while i took trevor to school adn tova and i went to jodi's to work. it turned out to be either barely gout or tendinitis.











tova was loving the banana bread :)

2020 :: 38/52

 tuesday was school and work again.

wednesday was field trip day again and we took dada to the apple orchard and had a blast. it was a bit busier than we're used to but we got to do a lot of things including the pumpkin pad jumper and the big slides. 

thursday Al finally caught the woodchuck! and took him far away, over the river and past a busy highway. we finally got a new battery for the kid's jeep and they were excited to ride/drive that after school. we garage saled a bit while trevor was in school.

friday tova and i played/cleaned around the house, ran to a couple garage sales, went to target, and then picked up trevor from school. we went to matt & jodi's for supper (cancun) and Al joined us after work. 

saturday the kids and i followed matt, jodi and the kids up to amnicon falls near lake superior for a hike. it was gorgeous weather and scenery. the path wasn't very long but we were there over 2 hours; the kids loved climbing on the rocks and by the water! it was fun and beautiful. 

sunday we cleaned up the house and garage, watched a little football, and played outside after nap.

 monday was back to school for trev, work for me (& tova) at jodi's and Al got errands done. it was the first day of jodi having a 3 month old baby so we're still working on getting him used to daycare/being away from mom/routine. after school we played/cleaned downstairs a bit and then went outside. Al grilled supper and we ate outside! it was such a nice night!
