Reader's Digest version of the day

Today is the last day of our first week back in school. We did it. It is good to be back in our routine. Thursday was certainly unfortunate…and I won’t be doing THAT again – but otherwise the week went well. The boys were all done with their week of work by noon today! Yippee!

I got 5 dozen muffins made.

The younger ones and I have some crafts and cooking we want to do but we’ll work on that this weekend.

Arielle went over to a friend’s for a few hours this afternoon. When Josiah got off work we picked her and her friend up and headed to the base to go bowling. I called Mandy and told her we were going to the base to bowl and wondered if she and hers would like to join us. They did. I can tell her boys and Nolan and Zander are going to be good buddies. It was a fun visit.

Back at home Jamin whipped up our pizzas. I got to do the pan pizza again. I really like that pan pizza.

Everyone watched a few episodes of “Hogan’s Heroes”. Josiah headed to bed as he worked 13 hours today and works a full day again tomorrow. Jamin and Jared followed. That leaves the younger ones. They are watching “Chicken Little” and enjoying popcorn.

DeEtta,
The place where I get my grain (30m from here) said that she cannot keep her muffins around. They are freshly ground and her favorites are her Ezekiel muffins. She gets $10 for 24!! She also gets $5 a loaf of freshly ground and homemade bread. I thought that was interesting and wanted to pass that along to ya!

Yep - there's a market for good tasting, fresh grained bakery goods. The girls used to get $3 a loaf in San Antonio when they would sell their bread....but I have no interest to add another hat to my weary head. LOL

So glad your first week back to official school went so well.

We are still trying to settle into some sort of routine that works for everyone. Each week brings us a little closer.

Debbie, I quickly realized the routine that worked last year with an infant is not going to work as well with a toddler. Each year is a new adventure. LOL
