Back in the Saddle!

We are finally starting to get back into the swing of things now that school has started back up. Alan and Ashley both have student teachers in their classrooms this semester. That should be a lot of fun for the teachers!

The kids are really adjusting well to being back in the routine and our finding ways to amuse themselves now that the holiday excitement has worn off. David brought home some water bottles that were left over from a training class he took last week. You would think that he brought home the coolest toys ever. They lined them up and played peek-a-boo from behind them and then carted them all upstairs to go in the playroom.

Ashley and Alan got their report cars on Friday. Ashley made the honor roll so we celebrated with popcorn and watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It was a really a cute movie and of course the popcorn was great. David definitely know how to make good popcorn! Kodi loved catching all the popcorn the kids "dropped".

Alan loves to cook. Lately he has been sitting on the counter while I cook dinner and mixing spices in a little blue bowl. He goes through the spice rack and picks out what he thinks will taste good. He always picks garlic! That my boy!!!

Ashley is getting ready for Girl Scout Cookie time. She has picked out 2 camps that she wants to go to and has set a goal for the number of cookies she has to sell to get to go to them. If she sells 540 boxes, she will earn 150 towards camp. That will help cover the cost of one week. To get to go to 2 camps, she will need to be closer to 1000. Wish her (and me) luck!
