The Pettey Family

We had a relatively quiet weekend.  Terry’s on a new medicine, Drew and Cassie are… well, teenagers, what else can you say. 

Overall we had a relatively nice and quite weekend.  Terry did learn how to order movies on FIOS, so pass codes are now needed, although we thought that had already been enabled.  At least he picked a movie that we wanted to see anyhow. 

Everyone is asleep – preparing for this last week of school.  Summer vacation, for the kids, starts on Friday.  Thankfully, Terry’s going to summer school again this year.  So all are home till July, then he’s off in the mornings to school. We’re hoping this will keep him in the “groove” so there’s little backsliding when the new year starts. 

It’s scary – Terry’s going into the 4th grade and Drew and Cassie are both starting high school (and different ones at that – with their specialty centers).  I better enjoy the summer, because come fall things are going to really start hopping around here.

Cassie and I got our hair cut this week.  Mine’s just above the shoulders, but nothing too different. Cassie, however, was far more daring than I and took hers from just below her shoulders to a pixie cut (about 2 inches long). Then we colored her hair…soft black.

Last week the kids had off for Spring Break.

Andrew enjoyed an extended weekend visit at his fathers house and then was a big help watching his little brother at the end of the week so his sister could have a little bit of a break.

Troy spent the first part of the week at the beach and finished off the week at home getting us all inspired to do some yard work and wash the cars.

Cassie went to birthday party downtown for a canal cruise and lunch at Bottoms Up Pizza. She helped out with Terry at the beginning of the week and then disappeared to her room to read for a large part of the end of the week.

As for myself I worked remotely all week. Still did my 9 to 5:30 but it was great being able to get up at 8:55 and be logged into work at 9. Today was hard having to get up at 7:15am and get Terry out to school and me off to the office.

We had a fun time at Ma-maws and Pa-paws for Easter. The kids hunted eggs and ate chocolate.

Terry had to put a spin of the very nice week by taking a tumble down the stairs on Sunday. He managed to give himself a good sized knot right between his eyes… I told him he should have done it a week earlier at least then when he headed to school this morning it would have been nearly / if not completely gone instead of just having happened. But then, that seams to be the way Terry rolls, at least he’s doing alright today – he had a bit of headache yesterday.

Yesterday we spent the day at Kings Dominion.  Troy, Drew and Cassie got a chance to ride the roller coasters and Terry and I chilled out and watched the shows and took a stroll people watching and enjoying the weather.

I was at Winter Green yesterday for a field trip. It was lots of fun. It’s pretty easy to ski for the most part.

Hi, I am going skiing Tuesday. It’s a field trip for Adventure Rec class and the girls fit for life class. We are going to Winter Green.
