Back to School

Okay. I finally got back on the computer. Seems my husband has no idea that work is back in the swing of things as the Holidays are over. Well, there is ice on the road so might as well stay home.

Here is a quick cap on what we have been doing the past week:

Sunday - Visit with brother Bill and the gals. Kids had a great time with only a water bottle and a headband that was left behind. I will hold on to those for you at Spring Break.

Monday- Zach complains of stomach ache but I take him anyway to the Children's Museum with Katie. We enjoy the merry-go-round...all three of us FINALLY on it together. Played with the dinosaur stuff and then came home. Zach is bent over on the floor moaning so I take him to the doctor. He pukes all over her office. I figure I paid $86 bucks so I did not have to clean up the puke. Really good way to find out your kid has the stomach flu. He did not puke again which was also very awesome. The best part was nobody else in our house got the Stomach Flu. Yeah!

Tuesday - Lay low with Zach and Katie and learn to play Cake Mania on Katie's DS. I am getting ready to work for the pie lady I figure. Good training. Katie loses her 2nd tooth and the tooth fairy gives her a whole dollar!

Wednesday - New Years Eve! We leave the kids at Dave and Jen's. Grandma and Grandpa Ken are on hand to watch all three grandkids. First time ever! All kids were good I hear. We have a great evening with Dave and Jen at Patrick's and then over to Brick Street Inn to enjoy the fire. I made sure I parked at least 3 blocks away in the 10 degree weather so that fire was even more appreciated.

Thursday- Get a call at 8 am from Grandma Nurk. She is pukeing. Pretty sure she got it from ethier Zach or the cherry juice at the grubby Zville DQ. Hmmmmmmm. Made our Annual Hoppin John and some creamed spinach to bring in the New Year. Very southern tradition that I guess we hang on to since the Atlanta days.

Friday- I am still hungover I think. But we go out to Jeff's office so he can actually show up for a day. No...the kids see the office for the first time and we spend some time at the mall down there in the big city of Indy. Zach loves the Weber Grill and eats a ton of food for lunch. Loved watching that boy use the napkin between bites. Little Guy.

Weekend- Play with the kids, take down the decorations, and eat while we still can.

Now we are into the week. I am back to jazzercise the last two days and Jeffrey has been motoring on his bike trainer in the basement. Changed the diet for everyone in the house and we are trying to get rid of all these Christmas cookies and sweets that managed to sneak up on us this year.

Next week, Katie's birthday and party. We have girl scouts stuff to do. MOPS meeting is on Wednesday and gonna try to reorganize some things around here.

Take care and chow healthy for now!
