A Week in Review (April 29-May 5)

A Week in Review (April 29-May 5)

Watched: Jack score a touchdown.  He apparently slightly fumbled the snap and when he went for the hand off, he saw that hole was wide open so he just ran through it.  He ran like the wind and scored a touchdown.  It was a good morale lifter for him because he had missed a couple big tackles in the game and was feeling pretty bummed about it.  His team did a nice job of supporting him after the touchdown too.

Read:  I didn't really focus to much on reading this week.  I made a little bit of progress in The Oracle Year, but not much else.  I know that I am going to have a bunch of books coming off hold so I need to get myself in gear.

Listened: Compliments on the yearbook.  It was delivered by our May PTA meeting so I was able to give a sneak peek to the people who were in attendance and it was well received.  One of the kids there just kept looking through the pictures again and again.  I am glad that it made so many people happy to have a great yearbook.  I am looking forward to doing next year's too.  It's hard to believe that he will be a 5th grader next year and then it will be all done doing yearbooks for me.

Made: A delicious salad that I need to remember to make more often.  It had marinated shrimp, warmed bacon bits on a mixed bed of greens with a vinaigrette.  It wasn't very hard and it turned out really satisfying.

Felt: Bad for buying something off my birthday wishlist that I sent my mom.  I totally forgot that I had put curtains on there when I bought the curtains for myself.  I really liked the pair that I had picked out for her to give me too. I didn't get a chance to hang them up yet, but I can't wait to see how they look.  Now I will have curtains for two different seasons!

Planned: On the guys just making the repair to the sprinkler system that Ryan and his friend noted when they blew them out for us.  However, it turned into a lot larger project.  They ended up installing a WiFi enabled sprinkler system that allows me to adjust the sprinkler my phone. It will also attempt to delay the cycles based on the water.  It is pretty neat.  Because of the water saving properties, our utility company does a 50% rebate on the cost as credit on your water bill.

Loved: Spending time with my mom and Nick.  They were both able to arrive on Thursday, so we could got to spend an extra day together.  My mom brought me down a birthday cake that was super yummy and some great birthday presents.  She brought me a new dimmable lamp for when I am reading and don't want to wake anyone up, new curtains (you've already read that story), and Ticket to Ride.  We played several games of Catan and Ticket to Ride.  We also played some Around the World in basketball.  I really love having all my family close together.

Here are the pics for the week:
