Can you tell we are back to school?

Well we are all back to school and work around here. Here is a quick recap of the last week:

1. Jack and Grant are back at Wendy's. Today Grant used the toilet for all his bathroom needs, slept on the cot, and had school time. Wendy said he did great! When we put him on the toilet at our house he screams like you are killing him. Jack is at Wendy's just in the morning.

2. Brian has been getting home a lot early this year. We are so excited.

3. We finally ordered our couches for the living room. It take us (really just me) a long time to make decisions that involve large sums of money. We painted our house last fall and it took me about a year to purchase the entertainment center and couches. Oh well...such is life! For those of you wondering I did not purchase this house. Sure my name is on all the paperwork but I was dragged their kicking and screaming! I also did not even go to purchase our last car and once tried to return my car after we brought it home.

4. My classes are really good so far this year. I am loving their attitudes, humor, and insight. Kids really are neat!

5. I am so lucky to work close to home and get off before Jack does. I race home, change my clothes, push an empty stroller to Wendy's house, pick up Grant, and then we go get Jack. A lot of moms walk with their dogs to pick their kids up from school. Jack has requested I walk Bruce one day to get him. Oh boy...Have you seen Bruce? I think I might have to bring the double stroller (a spot for G-Man and a spot for Bruce). If you are wondering why I have not mentioned Warner it is because he is afraid of his own shadow and all those kids walking out of school would not go over well.

6. We still don't have a camera. If you are wondering why I have not bought one yet refer to #3.

7. I am having my 2nd Arbonne party on Sunday. I have invited some neighbors and people from school. I am afraid no one will come.

8. I love this time of year. I cannot wait to take the boys to the pumpkin patch and wear a cute sweatshirt and a comfy pair of jeans!

9. We bought our first Christmas present for the boys today. It is this really cool football chair. Funny how it took me a year to buy couches and about 2 seconds to buy a football chair. These football crazy people that live in my house are sucking me into their world.

10. Send prayers to Esther...she has a job interview tomorrow and it sounds like a great fit!

I love that you do this, I don't feel like we connect now that you're back to school! Also, BUY A CAMERA! I need pictures of those boys, this is NOT a hard decision. Can't wait to see pictures of your new couches and the football chair taken with your new camera!

I also think you should bike down with Grant and Bruce in the bike trailer. People around here buy bike trailers just to pull their dogs!
