She said she was tired of eating cake from birthdays so she wanted vegan ice cream. It is my favorite ice cream too! So Delicious sea salt caramel ...yummy! |
A was able to finish school early on her actual birthday so we celebrated a little more with her that afternoon. She also started her volunteer hours at the animal shelter. She went to walk the dogs for a couple of hours and said that just while she was there that two more animals were dropped off. Most of the dogs didn't want to walk with her. They just wanted to be loved on and cuddled for a bit. She took pics of EVERY single dog she walked. They were all so cute and so happy to have her paying attention to them. I want to go and help her love on the animals, but I actually have the power to bring them home and I don't really want any more animals. We'll see if the kids and I start helping her out at the shelter. A is doing well in college so far. She has two A's in English and an 85 in Alegebra. She takes her first certification test for her vet tech degree on Friday. Her English class is only 8 weeks so she is halfway through. Her days should get a little easier after that.
L started the student choir at church last week. We now go to the evening service after her choir instead of the morning service which kind of threw off our routine, but since getting to church is about 30 miles one way, it makes since to not make two trips every Sunday. She will perform in the morning services a few times this year. Unlike A, L is super excited about starting to drive in January. I wish I could say I am ready to do it all again, but it was a lot with A last time. At least, L's eagerness is a drastically better than A's crying! A, actually, does really well now with driving. She drives herself to the church's college night every Tuesday, to the animal shelter to work, and out to go shopping with her sister. She still stays away from busy areas and doesn't go anywhere, but to the very north side of Denton. I can't blame her though, even I hate driving in really busy areas.
T starts his first team basketball practice this week. Luckily for us, they moved practice from Aubrey to Denton so we will save about 30 minutes of driving time and they moved practice to 4-6, which means we also are able to get home and eat dinner before 9 pm. His team plays all over North Texas. His first actual game with his team is some tournament in Frisco, where they play 4 games in 2 days! I will have to pack more games and things to do in my purse because so far we play Moose Farkle at every practice while we are waiting and we are getting tired of it. Luckily, Aunt S sent us several new card games for Christmas that we love so I am going to start rotating the games out so we have something different to do each week.
We took T shopping for some fall clothes. He calls this his "PaPa" outfit. He even completed it by putting his eye glass case in the front pocket of his shirt.😂 |
We take our first trip without A next week so we'll see how it goes. We are only going to the lake that is down the street so we won't be far if she needs us.
