Sorry, it's been almost 2 weeks since the last time I wrote.  No reason.  Just...ummm...yeah...We're finally into a "routine" around here.  The kids are enjoying school (especially Andrew) and I'm enjoying my few hours of childless bliss!  I'm still waiting for a day where I can just come home from dropping him off and just lay on the couch and read or watch tv, but it hasn't happened yet.  Soon I hope.

Andrew LOVES school!  He asks everyday if he's going to his "cool".  He sings me the songs they sung, tells me about the "magic carpet" that they sit on for storytime, and let's not forget about the snacks.  That's VERY important!  He loves it all!  It's been a completely different experience for me this time than when Rach went to preschool.  It has just confirmed to me that every child is unique in their own way. 

Rachel is liking school a bit more.  She's still warming up to her teacher and getting used to the homework.  This week she did walk into the school all by herself which is a huge step for her.  I was so proud of her.  I think it's easier this year because she has friends that she can walk to class with.  She started dance and gymnastics and is really enjoying that.  And Girl Scouts started this week.  I'm the leader this year so I've been busy getting things prepared.  Rachel is a big helper for me with that.

A big accomplishment for me...I have Halloween costumes already bought!  Yeah me!  Usually I'm still working on costume the day before Halloween or I am having them "rushed delivered" 5 days before Halloween.  Not this year...the kids knew what they wanted to be so we got them. 

I've got to go get ready for the day.  I'm driving to OKC this morning to go to my mom's ward's Super Saturday!!  Fun Fun!!  Wish I could tell you what I'm making, but I can't since it is Christmas presents for our Utah families!!  Very excited about it!  I'll post more later
