A Good Friday

Yesterday was such a good day. It started off with the kids having no school which meant we could take our time in the morning and Mike could go into work early to get some much needed items done. We lounged around, I did a little cleaning and then after some lunch it was time to start the afternoon-busy part of our day.
I first took 3 of the 4 kids to the baby sitters house. Then Zaric and I went off to his ear checkup.  The Dr. looked him over and reported that his ear looks great 3 weeks after his minor surgery. The patch is still in place and it all seems to be healing properly and he doesn't want to see us back for another 3 months. Hooray! Zaric and I then went to meet up with Dad and snag him from work.
Mike, Zaric and I drove to our next meeting, the closing on the old house! Hooray! When we pulled up to the building Zaric immediately started talking about cookies. We were confused for a minute until I remembered that when I stopped there to pick up the key to our new home after closing, they had in fact given the kids each a cookie. I can't believe he remembered A. the building and B. the cookie, 4 weeks later. We were there for less than 5 minutes. What a kid! He sat very patiently and ate another cookie while we signed and signed. So now we can official say:



I ran by the old house to drop off the keys then met Mike and Zaric to do another quick errand and get the water turned off. Then it was time to pick up the other kids.

We had decided earlier in the day that we wanted to take them to see Hotel Transylvania and I snagged some advance tickets just in case it was packed with there being no school in the area and all. Caleb invited his best friend Morgan ( the babysitters daughter) along. And off we went.

It was a super cute (although predictable) movie and the kids all enjoyed it. The babysitter was nice enough to keep Faith for us longer so we didn't have to entertain her during it, so that was nice. After taking Morgan back home and grabbing Faith, we decided to end the night with a little pizza. We stopped by NYPD Pizza and ate some yummy pizza and garlic knots. Then headed back home for baths and bed time.

I love Friday afternoons/evening spent with the family. And we are so excited for the sale of the old house and having one mortgage payment instead of two. It turned out to be a great day indeed. :)
