Ready to crash

This has been a l-o-n-g weekend... not a bad weekend, but just long. Or maybe it just seems that way because today started so early. I was up at 5 to get ready to take Brian to the airport. Originally, the plan was for the kids to stay home while I went alone, but Emily spent the night with friends in Antioch last night, so we had to scrap that idea. We woke up the other 3 this morning around 5:30 and headed out a little after that. Halle fell back asleep in the van, but the boys stayed awake the whole time. We only had a little over an hour from the time we got back from Sacramento until it was time to leave for church. We usually go to the 10:45 worship/class; the kids are in class while we are in worship. But today was my turn to help out in one of the kids' classes, so we went to the 9:00 service so I could still get to participate in worship before class.

We went out for lunch and then stopped at Target to pick up a birthday present for one of Halle's friend's sister. Back home with just a little less than 2 hours to spare before needing to leave the house again. This time I took Halle to her friend's house so she could go to the birthday party, then the boys and I went to the church; I was going to a meeting to get to know more about the church. We were there about 3 hours.... then went to pick up Halle, and then on to meet the folks Emily stayed with at a halfway spot. We made it home around 9. I think most of the kids zonked out by 10. Gee, I wonder why?

Tomorrow, Halle gets a tooth pulled in the morning... then we have piano lessons and gymnastics in the afternoon/evening. Unless I forgot to put something on my calendar, we actually don't have ANYTHING on the schedule for Tuesday. Hallelujah!
