It's Monday! What's everyone up to this week?

Ahhhh...Monday already. What are everyone's plans. We have a low key week planned after the complete chaos of the last few we need it. The boys have VBS at church this week (they are doing the Big Apple which is so fun because I get to tell them all sorts of boring childhood stories that they won't want to hear) everyday from 9-12. The babies have their last next to last week of swim class from 12:45-1:15 every day, I am so glad they are both swimming well...they just need to fine tune a few things. Brian leaves for DC on Wed so I think we are going to turn the guest room into a big fort while he's gone (the older boys don't have a tv in their bedroom but they love to watch movies in the guest room in the summer so I thought we could make it fun for them and turn it into something neat). I think that's about it!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

this week is gymnastics camp for two of my kiddos,so it will be pretty quiet around here. just isaac and i hanging out during the days. other than that, not a lot planned. i have a dresser to assemble. maybe i'll stain the deck? we'll see.
 
My week will be full of work, since I have to work almost all the days. :( I hope these days won´t get too stressful, since we´re still fighting with a EHEC epidemia in the north of germany. It has started right in the town where I am living and since I´m a nurse on the intensive care there are a lot of people who need our help.
Beside this I hope to join some family time and get my little butt to gym at least three times - pheew.

I hope everyone is having a gorgeous week!
 
I have some major cleaning and sorting to do today. (If I ever get off my butt to do it lol) I want to wash and bag up all the clothes that don't fit the kiddos and get rid of them. (My cousin's sister-in-law is 15 and pregnant and in desperate need of baby things so Belly's clothes will go there and there's a friend who has a 4 year old son so the boys' clothes will go there) We have baskets of too small clothes all over the house and I'm desperate to quit looking at them. lol Tomorrow I'll be tackling my bookcases.
Wednesday we're taking Zach out for his birthday.
At some point I need to clean the bathroom and wash bedding.
 
Wow, everyone is so busy--even with just normal life stuff!!

Today is a super big day for Micah, he is taking his first set of boards (he just finished his second year of med school). Boys are in VBS this week from 9-11 and I am just doing the normal work/home/life stuff that has to be done every single week!! so excited to have my husband back for a few weeks as well (after his 8 hr exam today, of course!).
 
DD is in the middle of year end testing and our landlord's son is supposed to come and replace the medicine cabinet in our bathroom (the old one is rusting out) and fix a drawer in our kitchen sometime this week. Other than that really just the normal housework stuff. Hoping to get a bit of reading in...we own The Giver and Matched is waiting for me at the library. I'm also a good chunk of the way into Whistling Dixie in a Nor'easter which is an entertaining read.
 
today im going to do a couple of load of laundry. Tomorrow we are heading to the big city~Phoenix. My hubby found out last week that he has a broken finger for over two months. So he is going to a hand specialist and im not sure what they are going to do. (im a little scared) So the week is a total??? for us. Wont know until tomorrow.
 
I'm going to try and take it easy with lots of scrapping this week! We have soccer practice Wednesday and then will probably go to the pool but that's the only day with plans until the weekend. This weekend is our towns yearly celebration so there's a big parade and street dance that I'm hoping to get too.
 
Fun stuff for many of you!!! Not a whole lot going on today - Mondays are always good for me to catch up from being together all weekend as a family doing fun stuff, so it's nice to relax a little when hubby works! (if you haven't sensed it yet, I am the homebody, he is the one that makes us go go go! But I love it!) Wed. I am having Kyle take a day off of work so that we can go to the zoo that is about an hour away. Should be a fun day - think it's been a year or two since we've all gone to a zoo! And by Thur. I am ready as ever to go to work for Thur. and Fri. and enjoy some "quiet" time, and the girls love going to their grandmas!!!
 
well not a whole lot here. We have meetings at two schools this week so I am just hoping they go well and hoping I can make a good plan and do the right thing for them all. I would loooove to get an enrollment done this week just to have it done and all taken care of!
 
I started a two week course to get my real estate license here in LA. I had it in TN a few years ago, before moving to Germany. It's 8-5 M-F and an hour drive each way...which means I have to get up at 5:00 every morning. And if you knew me, you'd know just how difficult that is for me. I'm SO not a morning person!! Plus, I miss my seeing my little guys all day! :( Oh, well, it'll be worth it to have a flexible job that I can work around the boys schedules and bring in a little extra dough. Who couldn't use extra cash these days? Right? And, it's just 2 weeks. I can do ANYTHING for two weeks!
 
This was my oldest son's birthday week, his big day was yesterday. We had pool party on Sunday with lots and lots of kids and he loved every second of it. I was pretty crazed with the party but it was worth it to see him so happy with it.

We are in the midst of baseball playoffs this week so we have three games for the oldest and two for the youngest this week. We are almost done. It's been fun but I need a sports break so badly! Soccer just ended this past weekend so now my kids will only have swim team when baseball is over. My youngest's first ever swim meet is tomorrow and he is pretty nervous about it. I'm hoping it goes well for him.

I'm looking forward to having some 'me' time again!
 
We have our last two baseballs games this week and I'm pretty happy about that. I'm ready to have some free evenings! My hubby just left last night for a fishing trip so its just the kids and I. I usually look forward to having quiet evenings without the TV on with DH gone. :) I'm planning on getting some scrapping done!
 
my week has been busy we was away the weekend and came back monday afternoon so have been catching up on washing ironing and shopping,tomorrow the boys have there school sports day then im gonna scrap
 
This week is crazy! :spin

Tuesday and Thursday are swimming lessons (6 - 6:45pm). Wednesday and Thursday are the first football practices (6:30 - 8pm). Wednesday I have to pick up the football gear at 5:30. Plus dh is serving supper at the downtown homeless shelter so it's just me handling all those footbally things. Thursdays we also have friends coming home to visit (they've been in China for the last 18 months), so we're meeting them in the evening. Then Satursday is something during the day (which I forgot and isn't listed on the calendar), and then a Scout leaders BBQ. Then Sunday is Father's Day, plus my youngest has a birthday party he's going to, and then we're heading out of town to my sister's farm for a BBQ.

I think I will be sleeping on Monday! :dizzy
