I have stayed home pretty much all week and all last week. With the exception of last weekend when we went to the Renaissance Festival and the girls each had birthday parties. Other than that I have been hanging out at home.
This week we started what I hope will be our new routine. We walked to school to pick up the girls Monday and Wednesday, we will do it again today also. It's 3miles round trip, so that's a pretty good distance to walk. As long as it's nice I plan on doing this every Mon, Wed, and Fri. Sophia is such a good walker, she walked both times back and forth with little to no complaints. Aidan has always been my worst about walking and she burst into tears on Wed when she found out we were walking home. Of course then on the way home she asked if we could walk to school everyday, that child is full of contradictions.
Speaking of Aidan, she had her MAP testing done in school and I received the results last Friday. Basically it said she is High Average to High in all the reading components. Half of the math components she is Average to High Average, the other half however she needs to work on. Which included problem solving, so I have to work on that with her. Kale is hoping she doesn't have his math brain and that she gets mine instead. He hates math and isn't very good at it. I love math and have always excelled at math. Math to me is great, it's not subjective, there is always a right or wrong answer.
Delilah took her first steps last night! I am excited, soon I won't have to carry her chubby butt everywhere. She weighs almost as much as Sophia now. Granted Sophia is a skinny butt just like Lilly, but still they are two years apart. Alan has surpassed Sophia now, by 3 pounds. He is a big boy.
I don't have any major plans for the weekend. All I know is I get rid of my kids for a night (the older girls) when they spend the night at my parents. I will probably go home early and relax with just Delilah here.
Judy and Kale's dad David will be here next Thursday and are staying until the following Tuesday. They are coming out to help with the yard sale. Then they are going to Branson for their 40th anniversary, they have never been. They will have a good time there, as long as my fil isn't his normal stick in the mud self.
Well, I better get dressed and get to the post office. I have been telling Kale I would mail his package all week. :S
Have a good weekend!

I am terrible about going to the post office and mailing packages. I just really hate standing in line up there.
We have been pretty much staying home too.. and to be honest with you, although it is work to take the kids out places, sometimes it seems a lot easier to have them out then to try to keep them entertained at home. even though they each have about 4 million toys!! ugh!!
so needless to say we all have a touch of cabin fever. :P Thankfully we went out last night, but it seems to only make us want to go some where again today. Trevor is off from school today and tomorrow for Jewish Holiday... so we are itching to do something. not sure what though. maybe tomorrow I will take them to the playground. get to go some where and they can get rid of some extra energy.
Good for you for walking to the school and back. I would LOVE to do this... but it would take us wayyy too long to walk... plus I'm not sure how well Trevor would handle walking there, but mostly walking home after a long day of school, we have up hill walk there and back. I was hoping to burn up some fat while working on packing and moving and all that... but who knows what is going on with the move. still waiting.
anyway... better go check the kids... they are quiet.
