Day Off

Joe took yesterday off to go help register Katie for school. It was nice having him with us the whole day. Sometimes during the week the kids and I get to see him just an hour or two a day. So to have an extra day of time with him was wonderful. We went to a birthday party at the zoo after registration. Had lunch at McDonalds. Went to Katie's doc appt for her ears(she needs to see a specialist cause she still has fluid in her ears and she just started a 3rd round of antibiotics). We went out to Hamilton Place and the kids played in the play area awhile. Picked up Bear from the Vet where he had his vaccines and a bath. Ate dinner, made applesauce bread and then it was bath and bedtime. Joe cut the grass afterwards which was WAY over due. The grass at the bottom of our yard was almost to Katie's stomach! I tried to cut the grass a few weeks ago and could not get the darn mower to start; besides it is so hard to get all the kids occupied or napping for me to go out and do it. I have been begging him to hire someone to do it for cheap. At least he got it done....on his off day too...but it didnt take him long at all to do it.

School Registration

Like most, I have plenty that I could be doing right now instead of 'blogging' but figured I had not posted an a few days so I should. Yesterday was school registration. Joe took off from work to go with us so he could see Katie's new school, meet the teacher and what not. He went bright and early to drop Bear off at the vet and then we all went on to Rivermont Elem. We met her teacher(which I can not remember her name for the life of me) filled out MORE paperwork and peeked inside her classroom. I had many questions answered(IE: school dress code, book bags, supply list drop off/pick up times ect) Katie is very excited about school starting, as am I. Only down fall is not having her here all day with me. Something I will have to get use to but I plan to take advantage of all at the same time. She starts next Wednesday, August 13th. Her dress code is khaki or navy pants, Capri’s, skirts, shorts or jumpers. Any color polo shirt(except red and black). Dress code for Pre-K is not enforced but recommended. She gets to take her LL Bean Book bag to school with her instead of the clear ones and she got a matching lunch box too =] She will be going from 8:15am-2:45pm. What a long day for a little one....at least they get an hour of quiet time in there. Once she starts I will write more.
