When the kids are away

Mom is bored! Both my kids are at grandma's house for this long Labor Day weekend and I have never watched so much t.v. since.......I don't remember when. I do like my clean house and how it has stayed perfectly clean for two whole days now. Ben and I went out for Chinese food which I have been craving for a week now and we will probably go to a movie tomorrow. It's nice, but with my kids at the ages they are I get plenty of sleep and time for myself. The nicest thing is the clean house. Of course when I have a new baby the break will be greatly appreciated!

Happy Days are Here Again!

School has started! Sara is in 3rd grade this year and got the teacher she was hoping for. She is already having a lot of fun and loves seeing all her friends again.

Brandon is in kindergarten and is so excited. To get the kids used to going all day they are on a revised schedule for a few weeks. Week one they go from 8:30am to 11:15am. Week two they go from 8:30am to 12:45pm. Week three is all day 8:30am to 3:10 pm. Score! He has loved school and his favorite part is riding the bus. Maybe with both kids gone all day my house might get cleaned. (Who am I kidding- I'll probably just have more time to nap and read).
