So.. it’s been a nice 2 week break from school, for the year round kids. 3 of the 4 got to go to Boys & Girls Club for their break, while Allie still had her regular class schedule.
A brief recap of our 2 weeks included all 3 getting in trouble of some sort at BGC. 2 of the 3 were suspended for a few days. One had an accident in their pants, which resulted in needing to be picked up early. Autumn got sick the last week, so she spent 2 days at home with a fever. She enjoyed playing with her birds, but she was so lonely. She would text me throughout the day. No one else in my family was able to help care for her while I was at work, so we did our best with having Aunt April come by and check on her. That worked out perfectly.
We managed through the 2 weeks, but I have to say that I’m pretty excited about the school changing to the traditional calendar. Having to go to BGC ALL day long, while on a break, really isn’t my preferred place for them.
I am making the switch next fall, back to After School Care at their school. It’s been an experience with BGC. They have good intentions, and nice staff, but I do understand that it is more of a youth facility, and not a “daycare.” I kinda think my kids might need the “daycare” atmosphere a bit more than I initially thought when I made the switch. I’m not going to switch them back now, we only have 1 month of school left.. crossing my fingers that nothing else “crazy” happens..
The weekend was great because we spent a night at a hotel, got to swim, have lots of snacks, watch movies, and swim some more.
We also went to visit Gramma & Papa Keith at their campsite at a really nice campground on the lake. While we were there, we made lunch, and had a nice meal with them.
Austin had to go to the bathroom before lunch was ready, so I walked with him to the campground bathrooms. He was in there for 10 minutes.. I finally asked him if we was OK.. he said no.. he needed a change of clothes. So, I went to the car and grabbed some for him, along with some wipes and a walmart bag. He went about his business, taking care of that, and I could hear him whistling in the bathroom.. I chuckled to myself.. he’s soo funny.. A few minutes later, he came out, and acted like everything was great, and he was ready to continue hanging out and having fun. 🙂
At the end of our weekend, Austin really wanted to watch the movie “Detective Peekachoo.” I had a headache yesterday, so I told him I wasn’t sure if I would be able to, but I would think about it. Well, he continued to say, well.. checkout is at noon, and the movie is across the street and starts at 12:05… We didn’t watch it, I needed to get home, and unload the car, do laundry, and prep for school today…
But…. I did tell the kids that if they all have a great week at school, do their homework, and stay out of trouble at BGC all week, we will watch it on Friday night.. Autumn said, we’re not perfect.. I told her I don’t expect perfection, just do what is expected of them, and we will get to see the movie..
Time will tell… 🙂
Until Friday…..
All in a Day
