Monday I got in for tennis clinic (although not with who I was playing with the next day) then listened to the rest of Rose Code while repainting the bottom trim in the house. Elizabeth did a marvelous job hosting book club, lots of conversations happening at the same time. Tuesday Maureen and I beat Palencia in enough time for me to make it to Voss' Thanksgiving lunch at school. I picked up Abby early from school for an ortho consult. She's getting braces in January and has until then to stop sucking her thumb. That night was a Friends of party for the middle school. We went out for pizza after across the street with a fun crew. Wednesday I went to HIIT class then had lunch with Steph. Marly went to her friend's play. Phil went with Ellie to her swim banquet. She got a Varsity letter. Voss had trombone. Abby had dance then youth group at CFA. Thursday Ellie drove herself to school. I had a PTSA meeting there (they always last so long) then snuck out for a MOPS meeting (after picking up a check from the book fair, yay!$$$$) then later back to pick up Ellie from school. I made a pot of chili and cornbread, perfect for the blustery weather we had at the end of the week. Friday we had a middle school PTSA meeting for breakfast then I did some hostess gift shopping, adoration, a run then visited my cousin who just had open heart surgery. Ellie and Marly babysat at the beach for a wedding on both Friday and Saturday night. Phil and I met up with the Hogans and Strassers and took JoHo's boat to the Oyster Roast. It's an awesome event benefiting the Riverkeeper. It was a COLD night, especially on the boat but we had a great time. Saturday morning we had a family breakfast and told the kids about their surprise Christmas gift (and my Birthday gift!) and then took down the Thanksgiving decorations and started decorating for Christmas! This is the earliest ever! I drove the angels to Nutcracker then Phil met me and swapped kids so I took the pages and sprites and the angels came home. SQ and I walked. That night Phil and I had dinner at the Napoleons, delicious sausage soup by the firepit. This morning we all served at mass then did CCD. We went to the Nixon's to celebrate Mark's Birthday with more oysters. Abby and Marly are at youth group. It just occurred to me that Voss' science project is due so we scrambled to the soccer field by sunset to do the ball curvature experiment. What a scamble! Here are the pics of the week.
