The boys went to school today and they had a great day. I used this day to get some things marked off my list that I had to get done. It's amazing what you can get done without two little boys tagging along for the ride! Nobody to put in the corner, no refereeing, no making meals for 3 people. It is quite awesome and I am totally blessed to be able to stay at home with these beautiful boys and also to be able to send them to a Mother's Day Out program twice a week. It is great for them and for me. I feel like it has really benefited Jake, especially. He is quite shy when it comes to groups. The Mother's Day program at our church has allowed him to understand that it is okay for someone else to take care of him and that Mommy WILL be coming back to get him. On the way to school today, we were singing our regular "It's time to go to school, it's time to go to school, Hi HO the dairy oh, It's time to go to school." I say, "Who's gonna be at school today?" Will usually chimes in and names his whole class one by one. Jake, on the other hand, usually just sings along not really understanding the whole song thing. But today was different, he said "John will be there, John will be there, Hi Ho the dairy oh, John will be there." He then began naming 2-3 other little friends of his (Camille and Caleb). I thought to myself, that is so good that he remembers that! He is becoming quite a socialite. So, when we got to the classroom, Miss Karen greeted us as usual and Jake said, "There's John, there's Camille, and Caleb!" Oh, it was soooooo cute!
While the boys were in school, I went to the YMCA and joined me and Matt and the boys. We have been wanting to do this for a while, so now is the time. We used to be members for about 9 years and quit last year to pay off some debt. Now we are at a point where we can afford it and desperately need the excercise!
I also ran a few more errands and then went to pick the boys up at 2pm.
I fixed a great chicken casserole for dinner. It is called Chicken Cranberry Casserole. Matt loves it and it's a great casserole for the fall time.
The boys were very wound up last night for some reason. I guess it had something to do with Matt wresting with the boys right before bed. Ha!
I will write more later.....
