Day 2633. This is their 9th week in school this school year. And today they went on a field trip to the "ocean house" which is something like a zoo for water animals. They had lots of fun there.

Monday

Sammy did not go to school as he had an appointment to have some new thing fitted that would help him but it turned out that it wasn't going to work for him. My second alarm went off at 10:30 am as I had a 11 am student, but I then found a message that it was canceled. I then went to the kitchen to cook lunch that we all ate after Randy and Sammy had returned home around 12:30 pm. 

Just before 1:30 pm Randy left to go pick up Tammy and Emmy, while I started teaching at 2:30 pm. Randy and the kids arrived a few minutes later. After I was done, I made the kids' sandwiches, then Randy left with Tammy and Emmy at 4:30 pm to take them to their exercise class. That's also when I started my next student. I was done at 5:20 pm and had a bit more than half an hour to cut up the kids' fruit. Randy returned home at 5:45 and left again at 6 pm to go pick up Tammy and Emmy. As for me, I started teaching my next student at 6 pm and went until 6:50 pm. Then I had time for Sammy who can now occupy himself pretty well, thanks to his tablet. Randy and the kids got home areound 7 pm. They ate, then we went downstairs for piano practice before they went into the bathtub. After that, they got ready for bed. At 8 pm I sat down at the computer to teach, and Tammy and Emmy fell asleep in our bed right next to me. After I was done at 9 pm, I took them to their beds and went to the kitchen to get something to eat. I thens at down to eat and take a break before going back to work.

Tuesday

Finally a morning with no commitments! I had to get up at 6:45 am to fill their snack boxes but then I went back to sleep and was happy to be able to sleep as long as I wanted. I did have an alarm set for 11:30 am which is when I got up. I warmed up leftovers for Randy and myself to eat, and left the house just after noon to go to the gym near Sammy's school. Randy left just after 1 pm to go pick up Tammy and Emmy.

I had a great time at the gym, then I went into the grocery store right there before picking up Sammy just after 1:30 pm. It wasn't quite 2 pm yet by the time we were home.

I then went to the kitchen to make the kids' sandwiches. Randy and the kids got home early, just after 2:15 pm. At 2:45 pm he left again with Tammy and Sammy to take them to their dance school. Sammy had his private dance lesson at 3:30 pm, and Tammy had dance sport at 4:30 and ballet at 5:30 pm.

As for me, I had a student at 3 pm, and Emmy was relaxing with his tablet while I was teaching. Once I was done, the two of us left as well. We rode the subway to the end doing reading practice, then walked to Emmy's soccerclub where his training started at 4:30 pm. It was 4:15 by the time we got there. I helped him put his shoes on, then turned around to take the subway downtown to pick up Sammy. 

Randy and Sammy took the bus from the dance school and got off just as I was walking to our meeting point from the subway. It was about 4:45 pm. Randy turned around to head back to the dance school, while Sammy and I got on the subway and rode it home. 

Back home at 5 pm, I went to the kitchen to cut up vegetables for my salad. Sammy wanted to play with the key and the door, and we had a fun time together. I was actually very impressed when he managed to put the key into the lock four times. 

At 5:30 pm the two of us left again and rode the subway to the end to pick up Emmy at 6 pm. We got to watch him play for a few minutes before the training session was over. While Emmy was changing, Sammy checked out a tank of water that was sitting there. The water was pretty cold!Then we left and rode the subway home.

By 6:30 pm we were back home; I was supposed to have a student but he had canceled so I enjoyed having time. I went to the kitchen to cut up fruit for the kids, then gave it to them. When Tammy was still not back at 7:10 pm, I called Randy and found out that they had gotten off at the wrong stop and gotten lost after that, so it was more like 7:20 pm by the time they got home, about half an hour later than necessary. While Tammy ate her fruit, I took Emmy downstairs for piano practice, then Tammy came after he was done. Once they were both done, we went upstairs where they went into the bathtub. After that, Tammy still had to do her reading practice. I prayed for them, and they went to bed. I got my salad and sat down to eat and take a break, then went back to work.
