On Monday we had our ducts cleaned--yeah! Less dust for Margie to clean and for John to sneeze at. Monday night Margie also had rehearsal for the One Acts.
On Tuesday, we had our first contractor come to do a walk through so he can prepare an estimate for our home remodeling--very exciting! Also on Tuesday, the whole family went to see the dentist. It was the first real "exam" that the kids had had and guess what? No cavities! The dentist said, "Whatever you're doing--keep doing it!"
Unfortunately, the grown ups weren't as lucky. Both Dan and Margie have cavities that they need to have filled.
Also on Tuesday, Lyn had piano and Margie had rehearsal.
On Wednesday, Lyn had ballet and Margie had a Board meeting for The Little Theatre of Alexandria.
On Thursday, Margie found out that she was cast in Oliver! as Mrs. Shrewsberry, the undertaker's wife. This is not one of the roles she wanted and was disappointed because she thought there was no song. However, a friend informed her that a very funny song was added to the revival of the musical, "That's Your Funeral." So it might not be too bad. Margie's mom said, "I don't think much of [the song] but I know you will make it memorable and a hit." We'll see! :o)
Also on Thursday we had two of our carpets cleaned. We took the opportunity to rearrange some furniture. We're still getting used to it, but we like it so far!
On Friday, the second remodeling contrator stopped by--this is getting so exciting. That night, we all went to Spring Basket Bingo at the kid's school. John got Bingo on one of the rounds and won a basket full of legos! He was soooo excited--we wished we had a brought our camera so we could have filmed him jumping up and down! As it was, we had to wait and take pictures when we got home.
By the way, if you are looking at the picture of the Bingo card and thinking to yourself, "Hey, that's not a bingo!," let me explain.
Every other round was a "special" round--you had to make a special design on your card in order to win. John won the "diamond" round.
On Saturday, Margie decided to go for a bike ride at Burke Lake. It was so beautiful (Lyn says, "Hot!"), that she suggested that Dan and the kids come play at the park at the same time. Though Burke Lake is lovely, Margie did not enjoy the ride--too many people, too many potholes and tree roots. And as Lyn said, it was hot!
Still, it was fun to get out together as a family.
Saturday night, Margie went to dinner and a birthday party with a friend.
On Sunday, Dan competed in the first race of the Washington DC region autocross series. He won first place! And last place, too...you see, he was the only one in his class.
Margie headed to LTA for the annual budget meeting, and here we are.
We hope you had a great week and are enjoying the spring sunshine!
