Journal weekend 10/2-10/4

• Poor W got up early with J to drive to the 6:15 a.m. teen Mass on Friday but got horribly lost and spent the next TWO HOURS driving around! Oh my goodness!
• So I was planning to go to the 9 a.m. Mass with B and S but when W finally came home he brought doughnuts and B burst into tears at the thought of not being able to eat one until after Mass. so I caved and we never went to Mass. I think maybe we'll do our daily Mass on Thursdays at noon and I'll try to make it to the 6:15 Mass on first Fridays with the teens.
• Spent most of the morning vacuuming, tidying, etc and getting read for Socratic Discussion group @ 10:30 a.m.
• Had our first discussion group. I think it went okay; younger group was a bit wild!
• Went to tennis
• on Sat. - W went to piano lesson; I drove him because he was afraid to get lost and he didn't want to be late!

• J watched lots of his anime series he's been watching for weeks on youtube.
• J mowed the lawn
• R and B went to guitar shop and Foxes to repair W's electric guitar
  
• S played at Joseph's - apparently wii sports complex and now S is hinting broadly that he'd like it for his b-day or Christmas! He especially liked the archery.
• S and his friend hiked from his house to ours which is a good 45 minutes. Then they had a picnic by the pond behind our house.
• B played a lot with our next door neighbors.
• Went out to dinner with R for early celebration of his birthday
• Sunday - J finally finished the last episode of his anime series. Yoohoo! I get my son back!
• J did about 3/4 of his Algebra lesson
