FIVE for FRIDAY

1. The kids returned to school this Tuesday, I always enjoy spending time with them when they are off! They tend to take turns playing with each other. The most common is Devin and Andon or Devin and Kendall. Andon is content playing alone(Wii) or helping me make cookies. Andon turned 6 a week ago( I will post pics/blog)
2. I have enjoyed my time off this week. I am beginning to get in a routine. The first few days I was bored, but I could get used to it. I am back to being the Queen of Clean. It has been nice spending time with Kendall. She is definitely a girly girl--100% of the time. Dresses everyday, she even managed to spot a glittery dress crammed in a sale rack at Oshkosh from a mile away. She has a girl power attitude to go with it. I just remind myself to practice patience.
3. Kendall started preschool this week. I was not going to send her this semester due to the financial status, however the preschool teacher offered an awesome deal...Kendall goes to preschool 2 mornings a week and I watch her son one full-day a week. We are both super excited about this!!
4. COOKIES!! I just love making cookies. I do not like to eat them that often(a good thing). This week has been so cold out, I made cookies Tuesday and Thursday for the kids to eat after school.
5. We just don't know... I have looked at a few different job options. One job I would not be making that much extra after paying daycare and gas, the second job is subbing. I would not know in advance if I was working or not--then trying to find after school care on short notice ...We just don't know......
On a positive note, I started the Body for Life workout. Seems pretty good so far, and I have beem doing good going to the gym this week.
Have a good weekend!
