 wednesday both kids had school, Al sold our old green volkswagen to his coworker (i'd had that car since 2006), i had to watch daycare kids at jodi's from 1230-2 (during naptime) after i got tova on the bus, and grandma DD and grandpa Rick were here for supper. 

thursday i had to drop my consignment stuff off in the morning. then after tova got on the bus i went to the new library and for lunch with Cassie. then i headed up to the cities for softball while Al got the kids home from school. 

friday morning after tova and i walked trev to school, i went to the consignment sale while grandpa peter hung out with tova. i didn't find much though. Al didn't get home from work until after 8pm.

saturday trevor had a soccer game at 915 and tova played with brooklyn during the game so nicely so that i could actually watch the whole game. trevor had his best game yet; he's improved already just since summer season. he hustled a lot, played great defense, attacked the goal, stopped 1 goal as goalie, and had a great pass. after soccer we came home, packed up, had lunch, had a bit of quiet time then headed up to the cities. on our way there, we stopped in baldwin to watch one of chloe's softball games for a bit. then i dropped the kids off at mom's house (mom wasn't there, she was at a cabin) with my brother, and my brother and dad watched the kids and put them to bed. i went over to manda's house then we went to the saints baseball game with our softball ladies. it was so good to see everyone and ended up being a good game in the 9th inning but everything was so expensive. 

sunday morning we played with unc-o for a bit then headed home for lunch and quiet time. 

monday Al was off and both kids had school. i worked at jodi's and brought tova with me (she gets on the bus with carsyn at jodi's on monday's and tuesdays.) i picked up my consignment stuff and sold most of the clothes i put in there and a lot of the other stuff. i made almost $450! then i picked up trev from school and we all waited for tova to get off the bus. 

tuesday it was really hot and humid (probably last day of the year like that.) tova and i went to jodi's after trev was in school. after school, the kids and i hand washed the cars in the driveway.

Friday Al was off, Tova doesn't have school on fridays, trevor had school, and i had to work on consignment stuff! kids were beat so we had a relaxing night. 

saturday grandma DD and grandpa rick came over around lunch time and spent the afternoon/evening with us before they headed back to arizona. 

sunday we went to the toufars house with gilbertsons and matt, jodi & kids for the viking packers game. it was fun especially since the vikings won and i was the only vikings fan with 16 packers fans. 

monday started the first full week of school for both kids and i started working back to jodi's on mondays and tuesdays, and Al was back to work. 

tuesday was the same except trevor had soccer practice after school and during that i took tova and his coaches (who are friends from the gym)'s 4 year old daughter brooklyn to the park. Al had a union meeting after work so he didn't get home until after bedtime.
