Mid-Week and Weekend

Throwing a lot of stuff into our mix of the past week!!
We headed to St. Joe Wednesday afternoon for Aunt Maagie's visitation.  A nice visit with several people we hadn't seen in awhile...  so that was nice.  But always a rush for things like this - man, working/school all day, then driving 2.5 hours, then visiting for a couple hours, a late supper, and all the kids wanted to do was play (and it was 9pm already).  Just was busy.  
Anyway, we survived the night in the hotel - kids didn't sleep all that well (seemed to moan and toss and turn all night!!!).  Boomer was with us, so that was a challenge in itself - I mean, overall, he actually did well, but just like having a 3rd child that had to go outside a lot!  ha. 

Thursday morning was the service for Aunt Maagie... again, really nice, and quick.  A quick little burial service too...  a nice lunch... then back to Aunt Maagie's to go through some things and visit some more.  It was a super quick trip, and exhausting...  

We headed back to DSM about 2pm... as the kids had activities that night.  I know they were pooped!  

Friday:
Work/school day - and I know I was tired.  I worked hard, but was super tired, and just wanted to close my eyes!

Friday night, Kayson and a few of this classmates sang the Star Spangled Banner at the Waukee Boys BBall game.  So that was fun... we hung out and sat with Daugherty's, so that was good to visit with them, and watch the game.  

Saturday:
Saturday am - Cora attended the Waukee Dance Team clinic!! She was with her friend Zoe, and Brittlyn, so those few hours was great for her!  

While she was there, I did a bunch of stuff at home...  always non stop I tell ya!  

Saturday afternoon we hung out at home...  continued to do a bunch of stuff.  I organized, cleaned and all the things.  

Saturday night we then headed to Ames for basketball - a 6pm game and a 8pm.  Unfortunately we lost both... just didn't do very well.  We seem to struggle!  Cora and I drove separate which was good, so we actually headed home earlier, and I was able to get her to bed at a half decent time.  

Sunday:
A rough night of sleep.  Mr. Boomer thought waking up at 2:20 am was fun.  He did lay down with me, however, it was not comfortable, and I was so worried he was going to jump down and just be naughty.  SO TIRED.

K and Ryan headed back to basketball - in Nevada this morning.  Early.  Cora and I stayed home and hung out a bit... then headed up there.  The boys won both games today, so that was super nice... the boost of confidence they needed.  I know they've been frustrated losing a lot lately.  

So finally back home about 3pm.  Groceries, laundry, and relaxing a little.  I'm pooped.
