Entry for October 11, 2005
Hello all,
Thought I would give a quick update on the happenings at our house. Chad has left his job at Bashas' and is now working at a new job delivering drywall. Neither of us are sure whether we are happy with the new situation yet as he is stuck working up to 15 hours a day (and not paid hourly but by the piece) and has no weekdays off (in which I can get appt's and other stuff done). GRRRRRR!
We have started going back to church on Saturday nights and the kids couldn't be happier! It gets a little stressful around here on Saturday afternoons with everything that has to be done getting everyone ready but it's definitely worth it!
In light of all of the news about the weather we are doing a study on pressure systems. Did a science experiment this morning invoving the affects of heat and cold on an aluminum can. The kids all jumped and spuealed when the can seemingly crushed itself in icewater!
Nathan is still potty training. He's pretty much got pooping all figured out (PRAISE THE LORD!) Now if we can just get him before he pee's we'll be in great shape! Five down- two to go!
A.J. and Ray Ray are being stubborn. They don't want to bother with slowing down on their playtime long enough to sit on the potty so they just run off and hide when they have to go. I know it won't be much longer though and I am sure they will both train together. They truly are growing up to love one another's company, after I put them to bed at night I always walk in to find they have pushed their beds together and are sleeping with their batman figures still spread all over.
Other than that not much more is going on. It's really starting to cool down and we try to make the most of the nice weather by spending the afternoons in the back yard as much as possible. we just refilled the sand box and the kids love to get out there with the tonka trucks and do as much damage as possible so it's a nice way to get the wiggles out.
So now I must close. Got my first pot of chili (this year) simmering on the stove (don't you just love "cooler weather meals"?) and several chores to finish before I have to run the kids to karate class.
Warm Hugs,
Mary
