A great weekend...and then came Monday

We had a great weekend.  Jordan has a big project going on right now and so it was so encouraging Friday to get the news that he passed the FE exam that he took back in April. I am so happy for him; it is such a weight off his mind!
Jonah finally got to have his long time promised sleep over with his best buddie on Friday night.  It was fun to watch those little guys play.  I got to spend a lot of time with Audrey since she was the third wheel!  Reuben was back to normal after what was weeks of not feeling well due to teeth and then that crazy virus.  I told Jordan is was so nice to enjoy him again. 
Jordan and I got to get away on Sunday thanks to my sisters' provision of childcare!  We went to a Dino concert and out to supper.  Not for everyone, but we enjoyed ourselves!  Jordan was a little worried I was going to fall asleep, but a piano concert is very relaxing!  We were not your average attendee.  Most were a bit "wiser" than we.  I told Jordan it would have been interesting to take a survey to see if more people were on Lipitor or Boniva!
I spent much of the weekend getting ready for Monday: the first day of kindergarten.  We are starting early since we may take a longer Christmas break!  I was excited and wanted to make it as special for Jonah as possible. This morning I felt ready.  Jonah woke up on the wrong side of the bed.  I do not know what his deal was.  I emailed Jordan this afternoon and asked him if we were planning on helping Jonah with any college tuition because that was the only privilege he left that I hadn't taken away from him as consequences for his attitude and actions.  Yikes!  Tomorrow has to be a better day!

A Very Late Posting of 1st Day of Enrichment Class!

 Yep, enrichment classes started over a month ago and I am just now posting the "First Day of Class" photos.  This year we cut back to just one day.  It is lovely.  Jonah and Audrey are both taking art and science.  Jonah is also taking drama.  I am really curious to see how he does with that because he has been really excited about it.  The back packs are completely unnecessary, but a must for the back to class picture!     Getting Ready to head out!   Miss Poser as she gets ready to go inside!    Way too cool for this   Me too Mom!  

A "Spring" Field Trip

This morning when the kids woke up I told them to put on short sleeves because we had a surprise field trip. We met Gramma B and Gramma Great at the Botanical Center and got to pretend it was spring!   By the orchids   Lovely Lady (She has been waiting for short sleeve weather so that she can wear this sweater!)     Grandmas and the kids   Look at the fish!   Me and my babes!     What is this?      This inside of the fig   He looks as disturbed as I was to find out that they throw out the plants in the two themed beds every 6 weeks!  (We kind of wanted to take them home!)   Not sure if this is the wall's intended purpose!     What a great brother!   Group shot!
