Weekly Wrap-up

The week started off with Labor Day meaning no work and no school. We decided to take advantage of the sales and spent the day looking for a new couch. Ben and I are extremely indecisive people but we finally decided on one and are now enjoying our new couch that is sooo comfortable and not worn and torn. Yes, I finally admit that a white couch was not a good idea to have with little kids around. So does anybody want one that is worn and torn? We feel kind of embarrassed to even give our old one away. But if you're desperate....
On Wednesday Nick begun Joy School at our house. He has been so excited about it for weeks now. The night before he insisted that he needed a backpack. We found him one and he didn't take it off for almost 24 hours-except that I insisted he needed it off to sleep. It was really cute. Joy School is a neighborhood preschool program that a group of mothers take turns teaching. The curriculum is all ready for you and you just supply a little bit of time and lots of love. It's so great. I've had so much fun teaching Skylar and now it's fun to continue with Nicky. We have a great group this year-2 boys and 2 girls, so that should be really fun. Three are kind of "second generation" kids since the old group consisted of their older siblings. It will be fun to get to know the younger ones. I'm really excited.
Skylar started dance again on Friday. She is going to be in the competition group, Mini Stars, this year. She has really anticipated moving into this group but was a little hesitant when we told her it was going to be harder work. She finally decided she was up for it. She was so excited to get back to dancing. They got down to business and started practicing for their Christmas concert the very first day. Skylar's all about getting down to business so she loved it.









Our kittens opened their eyes this week. They are the cutest little things. Here's Nick with his favorite, Flash, and Skylar's favorite is Kara(Supergirl). The white ones are Arrika and Q-Tip. Kade loves giving them kisses by blowing on them-I think he's taken the whole "blowing a kiss" term literally. It's so cute! It's been so much fun to have these kittens and the most fun is still to come!
