Okay, now that I'm over the shock, on to the week at hand. :) Pretty much just another "normal" week in these parts. The weather was a bit cooler and damp, but we were dry and warm inside. :)
287. While excavating a boulder, Peter underwent a non-life threatening injury. Hannah administered appropriate nursing care; emergency room services were deemed unnecessary.
In other words, Peter got a scratch while digging up a rather large rock, and Hannah gave him a Band-Aid. But oh, the dramatics when the story was first released! ;) LOL!
288. Smiles and flowers ... two of Mommy's very favoritist things! ♥
289. Matthew's new favorite school-time activity ... painting! :) This version is so much easier to clean up from!
290. Mommy's salon. Open 7-9pm-ish, approximately every fourth Thursday. ;)
291. Our highlight for the week was the opportunity to see some WWII airplanes land at our downtown airport as part of the Wings of Freedom program. :)
While waiting, the kids enjoyed some time on the airplane-themed playground. :)
They also enjoyed watching other small planes take off and land. :)
But the best part ... for which we waited nearly two hours(!) ... was seeing these beauties!
Chris' grandfather flew a B-17 in WWII, making this particular plane extra special!
We even managed to get a family photo while we were there. :)
Some of us were dressed for cooler weather and it was not cool at all, but it was well-worth the wait. :) So thankful for the men and women who have fought for our freedom!
292. Saturday dawned cold and rainy. And honestly, I was very thankful for that. We had tentatively considered another outing for the weekend, but we really had things at home that we needed to work on. So we did. Without a single bit of guilt that we weren't outside enjoying a beautiful day! :)
While Mommy did some school prep (I try to do three weeks at a time), Daddy finished up some electrical projects. Then Mommy and kiddos dove into Fall Clothing Swap. What. a. blessing. EVERYTHING the kids needed for the cooler weather was in those bins. I don't think I've ever before finished a clothing swap without having to add at least a couple items to my thrift store list. Praise the Lord for His provision!
One of our cheerful helpers ...
And then we ended the evening by introducing the kids to our all-time favorite game ... Ticket to Ride! :) Let the games begin! :)
And just another blessing ... our littlest member was totally content to play his own "game" with the extra train cars in the box lid. ♥
293. Sunday afternoon visits with friends ... it's fun for every generation! :)
And that be that. :)
Thankful for the Lord's provision in so many ways!

Please don't tell me that now H & P will be able to beat us at Ticket to Ride?!? How embarassing that will be. :-) And...that was some rock Peter was digging, but I did burst out laughing at the 'injury'. Sorry your wait for the planes was two hours, but I can almost see the kids excitement when they finally came in.
Very cool planes! ...and a family picture to boot. You can't beat that. :)
