wacky week

Hey everyone! How are you all? I'm doing pretty well, especially 'cause it's finally Friday! This week was pretty wacky. Mom got sick on Tuesday, and so all the things we did together had to be bumped to the end of the week, and maybe even onto next week. She's been laying in bed all these days trying to get better. In the mean time, I’ve had complete-or almost complete-care of Baby. I started a routine with her; I would get her up and wash her up, get her dressed, and take her down to eat. Then, while she was eating, I would start on school-if I hadn't already while she slept. When she was finished eating, she would be content for a while just playing on her own. By the time she needed attention, I was done-or almost done with school. Then I would read aloud to her my school book “St. Mary Margaret” and she would play quietly while she listened. When I was finished with the reading assignment, we watched Angelina Ballerina. After that, we ate lunch, or played, or she played quietly while I did some of my stuff. Mom's a little bit better now, and will hopefully be completely better by next week, but as for now, we'll do what we can!

I had cotillion on Tuesday. My teacher Mrs. B loves having pictures for her website, and I love taking pictures with my new photography skills, so I asked if I could take pictures during the class. She said yes, and I got like a hundred! I'll only share with you some though, as there are a ton! 

I actually have another dance today called a Ceili. (Bonus: try and find the right pronunciation of Ceili and comment with it!) It is Irish folk dancing, and this is my first time going. My friend told me about it when I saw her at the Family Rosary-I’ll tell you about that in a minute.- I am driving with her to it because it is really far away. I've never gone before, but if I like it, maybe I’ll start going!

The Family Rosary was on Saturday, chronologically I should have started with that, but why not save the best for last? There's this one homeschool family who holds a Family Rosary twice a year. Everyone goes to their house bringing snacks and goodies, drinks, etc. Then we all hang around for a while before praying the Rosary. Once the rosary is finished, the get together lasts for a few hours. Everyone eats, plays, talks, or hangs out with friends. I saw my friend M.S.;remember, the one I did science with last year? I haven't seen her for a while so it was nice to talk with her again. I also met her friend AA. M.S. Told me about the Ceili, and that's who I’m driving with. I hope it will be loads of fun! At the Rosary, Baby had lots of fun playing on the playground. M.S.'s dad took a picture of everyone, which I'm sharing with you in the pictures.
