Hello out there! Here is what we have been up to!

Chris: LOVES first grade! He really likes his teacher and his class and even enjoys doing his homework at night! We are starting to hit the point where he wants to do everything and then some so we are having to figure out exactly what happens when and what he will be doing but so far he is going to be involved in Operation JOY (at church), YMCA soccer, Cub Scouts and possibly Midi for Kids...busy kiddo! We recently discovered he's allergic to tree nuts (severely allergic) so we are having to avoid those but no other major things going on! He's a pretty happy, busy kid!

Daniel: Really has taken to preschool better than Greg and I ever could have hoped! He can't wait to go in the morning and absolutely adores his teachers and his new friends...he does still want to be at his house with his friends but school is a good alternative! :) He finally had a haircut about a week ago without screaming his head off so that is definitely progress and tonight he ate a chocolate chip cookie...that's right...chocolate chip!!!! The boy has been refusing to eat anything chocolate for quite a while now (no M&M's, no chocolate chips, no chocolate ice cream...nothing) but tonight for some reason he decided to try and now I will have to share some of my chocolate with him in the near future I'm thinking! That boy and his quirks!

Kate: Seems to enjoy going to her babysitters but I always get a big smile when I go to pick her up! :) She loves having her hair done, loves shoes and dresses...a real girly-girl! LOVE IT! If only I were more of a girly-girl! :) She has taken to dumping everything in her room out of the containers they are in and causing a real disaster in her room...but she's slowly learning how to help me clean up! Very sweet!

Greg and I: Not much new except for adjusting our morning schedule (me actually getting back into one!) and getting the kids to where they need to be and ourselves to work on time! We have actually been early the last week and a half! :) Feels good to have things organized enough that we can all 5 walk out the door and be where we need to be with what we need to have on time...and then eventually all make it back! :) Things have been going pretty smoothly and we have caught back up with housework this weekend...things tend to fall a little behind during the week! :)

Hope all is going well out there! I still need to put up posts about our visit to the Arch and my Girls' Weekend in Chicago...but for now there is a ton of laundry calling my name! Need to finish washing and folding before our week starts! :)

Have a great night!
