Some of the highlights --
* Jeff took a trip with the kids to Dutch Wonderland. He stayed overnight and continued to the Turkey Hill experience the next morning.
*A mouse in the house was discovered by Ian. Within hours, Jeff sucessfully captured the mouse and disposed of it. Plus, he set out additional traps to see if he had friends with him. I am happy to report this mouse moved in alone. Additionally, Jeff scheduled Orkin to come and consult on a potential mouse problem.
* The kids started a camp that neither had been to before or had any friends attending with them. This is HUGE as Jeff had to get them ready, pack their bags and drop them off. Plus, find the place.
*Bubbly, Sam's original goldfish since December, died.
*Three additional dance classes got scheduled (one of which occured during the time I was away). This is to help the kids practice for their upcoming performance.
*The outfit needed for Sam's dance performance got decided on. Of course, it involved black shorts which Sam doesn't already have. Oh yeah, a dress rehearsal is scheduled for this Wednesday's class - again occuring when I am not there. Jeff squeezed in a trip to Kohl's and found a few options for Sam to wear.
*Sam's swim teacher told us she can't give lessons to Sam anymore. It was a conflict of interest for her.
*Jeff came up with a brainstorm of an idea. Before I left town, we consulted with 2 waterproofing companies and got estimates for $2,000 to do the work needed to prevent flooding in the future. Then Jeff contacted a landscaping company and they are able to do the same exact work for less than $300.
*Miraculously, Jeff managed to minimize the amount of vacation time needed and was able to work a few hours each day.
*And, Ian's teacher found some extra stories he wrote and needed someone to come pick them up. Yep, this fell to Jeff to do too.
