Thursday night:
We had clubs right after school. The treasure hunt club girls decided to take a break from treasure-hunting and started to prepare a flash mob to some weird song about a fox. Phil is the club coordinator and got to pop-in to see some of the action. Then he had basketball. Steve came over to watch X Factor after practice and I almost made it through the whole episode without falling asleep!
Friday:
We started the day with a lovely drive to what we like to call "Mahboula Oblongata". It's 20 minutes away from our part of the country which seems not-so-far in Canadian terms, but is REALLY DARN FAR in Kuwaiti terms. We aren't used to road trips like this one. Yes, I declare this 20 minute journey a ROAD TRIP. We met our friend Colleen for breakfast muffins (SHE IS THE BEST BAKER!) and we enjoyed catching up after months without seeing her (because she lives so far away...).
In the afternoon, Phil had a basketball friend over for lunch. They talked sports. Nory and I visited Grandma Cathy, ate lunch, and had a nap. In the evening, we watched some more X Factor and an episode of Parenthood. I went to bed earlier (as usual), while Phil stayed up to watch Survivor.
Saturday:
I had to work this morning and then the three of us headed to a U14 girls soccer game at 11 o'clock. We went for coffee afterwards and picked up groceries before heading home to do meal prep for the week. Unfortunately, our plans to cook went out the window when the oven decided to break mid-pasta/cookie/vegetable-cooking. After a momentary freak-out, we blared the Christmas music and had a family dance party in the living room. That made everything SIGNIFICANTLY superior :) We are supposed to have maintenance men coming to fix the oven tomorrow. The superintendent of the building believes the oven is a GONE-ER....
Nory is now asleep and we are chilling on the couch. This week is going to be a long one at school, with parent-teacher conferences Wednesday night and Thursday. Always an exhausting couple of days when you teach 80+ students!
Hope your weekend is moving along HAPPILY! XOXO
