Phil had a work trip in Orlando so I single mommed it for a few days and it was great. I got two great nights of sleep with no snoring, the kids and I were a well oiled machine. I drove carpool, Ellie drove herself to school then we zipped over to middle school. I did a barre class on Tuesday and a HIIT class on Wednesday and Friday. I volunteered at high school for kindness day. It was a great way to spend the afternoon. The school claims an ubuntu philosophy: "I am, because you are." Community being a major building block of society. How fitting. That night I went to a Friends of fundraiser for the elementary school. It was perfectly timed between dance, youth group and Ellie's babysitting gig. Thursday I volunteered all morning screening kids hearing for the health screening at middle school. Yay, I can hear (and see)! Phil came back after a great work trip, presenting his market to the others. Voss had a soccer party and we missed his last game but he played great, as usual. I hosted a soup swap with my farms pals. I spent all afternoon making a taco soup. Perfect timing as the weather finally got cooler! We stayed up too late catching up and sipping soup. I had a Nutcracker board meeting on Friday...getting closer! Then Phil and I left for the weekend to present talks at an Engaged Encounter weekend. Perfect timing. We were fighting on the way to Marywood and holding hands on the way back. We had a great group of 17 couples preparing for a sacramental marriage. Our dream team laughed so much and told great stories. The weather was perfect and one of our friends from church had a son get married there over the weekend, too. Love was in the air! We did a family soccer match that afternoon and won then cleaned up for a dinner at TCC. It was a nice family dinner catching up from the weekend. Marly had a babysitting gig. Ellie went to a Bridgerton themed 16th Birthday party. Abby and Marly had book club and of course Voss' last match. Here are the pics of the week.
