Working Holiday

Hey everyone Happy Monday. Most of you are probably off and out and about on this lovely Columbus Holiday. My work did not count this as one of our company paid, and I was actually craving a little quiet so I headed in . I figured my lunch break would be a good time to check in and recap the last couple days.

Thursday was open house for Tim and Grace at school. They are both first graders this year so we are getting to see the different teaching styles of the 1st grade staff. 

First up was Tim's Classroom

Connor had fun checking stuff out too

Next up was Grace's room. I noticed how her classroom was more pod seating than individual seating like in Tim's class

After we visited each home room we had to make a stop by the gym one of their favorite places in school.

Everyone got a good report, and they were rewarded with some books from the book fair on the way out.
Over the weekend we actually got to take it a little easy since we only had one soccer game to attend, Jake's travel game. After the game we decided to try to find some foliage and ended up going through some parts of MA and southern NH. It started out sunny but soon began to rain.

We stumbled upon the Milford pumpkin festival but didnt stop due to the weather

As we got a little further up north we did see some nice leaves. Definitely not peak week probably because its been unusually warm

On Sunday I started the day with an almost 6 mile run. Now that my half is done its more into recreational mileage as I want to still run, but with the light issue in the morning and exhaustion on the weekend I don't see a ton of longer runs in my near future. After my run we worked on finally getting around to cleaning and I made a dinner for my inlaws as a belated grandparent's day present. The kids also made them hats to wear

Dinner turned out really good. We had yummy salad, homemade spaghetti and meatballs, and apple cinnamon bread with caramel drizzle and ice cream for dessert. After dinner hubby took them home and I got the kiddos to bed.

This morning was a lighter workout at the gym. Got 20 mins of incline walking, 25 elliptical and 10 mins of weights in. Tomorrow will be spin class so I will have to get to bed early to make the 5:30am start time. Right now I should get back to work. Hope everyone is having a start to the week.
