It was a day filled with running around. All those last minute things that you try and do at the end of a home vacation or the end of the year. The kids had some checks from Christmas so we made a couple of stops at the local banks to make deposits. At one bank we had the kids deposit all their change that they’ve been gathering for a pretty long while. Those kids had some great hauls from their change. I even turned in mine. May give me a little spending money for the month. We’ll see.
A quick pop over to the Post office to get a package out to Auntie Mo and then off to Toys R Us to make a return and let Eva get a new Barbie and Andrew some more Marble Run pieces. He loves building Marble Runs. I think he loves losing the marbles and watching me lose mine more, though. An even quicker stop at Target to return some Disney Infinity figures, I am hoping that I get them sent to me soon. I contacted my contact who is going to send them over to me, soon I hope. I want to play the new The Force Awakens Play Set.
A quick run to Savers and then Michael’s put all the errands out of the way, so we headed to TGI Friday’s for lunch because the kids were very good during the errands. While there the kids did some really nice artwork on the kid’s menus. I’m excited about how much they love to color. I’m not excited about bringing all the kids menus home from all of the restaurants so I’ve started to take photos of them so the kids know we keep them for memories. One way to cut down the clutter.
One last stop was at Market Basket because, of course, we are out of everything and had nothing for dinner. Having a school vacation for a week puts us out of the routine. Which then of course puts us out of food in the house. Our meals this week have been creative and also a way to clear out the freezer space. Back on track next week.
Eva and I watched the Star Wars The Clone Wars movie to start her watching the Clone Wars cartoons. She already knows Ahsoka Tano but doesn’t know her full history. It will be fun to watch this with her.
