Week In The Life -- Saturday

So welcome to my "Week In The Life 2013." I even got all official and created a label for it. You can now see all my Week In The Life posts by clicking on that handy tag.

This morning I woke up at 8:30. After staying up too late on Friday night reading, it was a little too early for me. Thankfully Dave was home so I had a leisurely time from 8:30 until 10:30. I ate breakfast, checked computer stuff (blogs, e-mail, Instagram, Facebook), picked out Sam and Rachel's clothes for the day, and did some basic tidying up. Dave supervised breakfast for the kids and then Sam and Rachel played duets on the piano and "talked on the phone", had tea and set up a farm in the playroom while I figured out what errands to do while we were out.

I just love Sam's imagination in setting up his farm here.

From 10:30 until about noon we were at the synagogue so the kids could attend Tot Shabbat (similar to Sunday School). They learned about the story of Noah's Ark and made rainbows. Then we did some grocery shopping.

From 1:15 until 2, I put groceries away, returned some phone calls, and helped Dave make grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. I took the first of many food pictures of the day. I really love how the pile of cheese looks for some reason!

From 2:00 until 3:30 we processed food, mostly using up CSA vegetables. First Sam and I made zucchinni muffins for Sunday School snack. Then Sam helped me make cabbage rolls for tonight's supper and Dave made an amazing coleslaw with some orange and red beets, purple cabbage, kohlrabi, carrots, onions, and celery. He was a chopping and grating machine. I was grateful, because I hate doing stuff like that.

I know, I know, with pictures like this I am destined to become the next great food photographer! Ha!

From 3:30-5:30, I worked on treasurer stuff for the preschool. I actually got a lot done so that felt really good.

My treasurer desk after I went through all the piles waiting for me!

From 5:30 - 7:00 I made salad dressing for the coleslaw, ate seven cabbage rolls for supper, and discovered that I don't have to tell the Bible story for Sunday School assembly tomorrow. I had been thinking I needed to do that all week and when I finally checked to make sure it was me, it wasn't. Don't think about the fact that I hadn't practiced the story AT ALL as of Saturday night at 6:15. I also mixed the coleslaw so it was finished and rearranged some flowers, including the bouquet below which I got today while grocery shopping. Yay!

I'm also going to be the next great flower photographer! Ha ha ha!

At 7:00 I was supposed to have a meeting with the previous treasurer of preschool to make sure I'm doing things correctly! However, he never showed up and I couldn't really do much else while I was waiting for him so I just surfed the internet. It turns out he forgot so our meeting got postponed to Wednesday night.

From 8:15 until 8:45 I finished putting the kids to bed since Dave was getting fed up. He actually did the majority of the work and I just finished off his hard work :) Then from 8:45 until 9:30, Dave and I did all the dishes from the afternoon's cooking extravaganza.

There were A LOT of dishes because this isn't even all of them.

Then I uploaded, and edited, pictures for this post. And now Donny and Marika are here and I am going to visit with them.
