Monday: construction

 Riley is open!  A week ahead of schedule!!  I had to leave the house and drive eat five times today and I was not looking forward to it, to say the least.  But after dropping the kids off at school in the morning I thought I saw traffic going through the intersection... But it was foggy. 

The second time I needed to leave the one-lane road was blocked by a big truck, so I decided to try an alternate way.  Instead of the alternate way though, I got to go through on the main* way! 

*This is still not my preferred way most of the time, but it isn't a bad alternative.

Sunday

 Hmm, it was an ok Sunday.  There were some boring parts.  There were some normal parts.  We played some games with friends in the evening.  Our game of space base was so close with a score of 44-43-42-41.  I just managed with win with a lucky last roll, but everyone was having lucky rolls at the end.

Saturday: this and that

 Here's a picture of Isaac and his team in their new jerseys.

I realized I don't have many large containers.  I was looking for anything that would work and found the rectangular cuboid drink dispenser.  It fits perfectly! There were a lot of laughs.

Joshua and I biked to the church playground.  I thought it would be a cold, but it actually a lovely day.

Friday: home keeping

I continued working on the basement this morning.  It's still slow, but I am making obvious progress.  I went through the picture frame box and found some nice memories.

Ben and Joshua have the same smile!

I also baked a lot of bread: pizza, sandwich sourdough, normal sourdough, raisin bread

Thursday: evening

I dropped Isaac off at rock climbing and went back to work.  It was a little sad, but I've been a little behind and didn't get caught up over break.  After practice was done Isaac wanted to take this picture for Great-Grandma.

When we got home, Joshua was waiting for us.  He had gotten a huge trophy for sticking with piano for two years. He was rather excited about it.

Wednesday: lunch

I had lunch with one of my karate instructors today.  (We do this once a month.)  We wore the same sweatshirt today!  It's a really comfy sweatshirt.  The black version was on sale the other month, so I bought that one too.

I biked to lunch even though it was rather cold.  Construction is still crazy annoying, but I've somewhat figured out how to get around.  I can get out of the neighborhood on our one-lane back street.  After school pickup I take the highway to James and it only takes about twice as long to get home as normal.  But considering normally it only takes seven minutes we're really not doing too bad.

Tuesday: basement

Today was fall break.  I spent the morning cleaning the basement.  It sounds boring, but it's rather fun.  I'm getting closer to finishing the basement, but it just takes so much time to do a good job.

Today was also my first day with a belay partner and it was a lot of fun.
