All About Me...

Well generally not...but our last club day is tonight. I'm looking forward to seeing everyones' creations. The store is keeping me beyond busy with a lot of great events, new product and at the same time I am faced with a decision about the conclusion of my maternity leave (two months to go). I would really appreciate it if someone could look into the future and tell me what decision I made, I am finding the process far too stressful! But for now I will head on over to the store and enjoy pizza and angel food cake (with strawberries) to celebrate the end of a successful event.

Our Spiders have eyes!

I'm not sure where Spencer gets his "I have all the time in the world gene," but I know it is not from me...this kid forgets to eat his breakfast when it is right in front of him. The mornings become rushed and stressful trying to get out of the house on time for school. The bell rang before we were off our yard this morning and he hardly batted an eye. If that had happened to me when I was 5 I would have ran all the way to school. Not Spencer! I'm having to learn a new level of patience and understanding that this is just who he is. BUT if anyone has any advice to get the fire burning To get him moving please pass it my way.

We spent the afternoon doing crafts. The infamous Alphabet hour, and then putting eyes on the spiders Preston had started with them. They also spent a good amount of time counting their money to see if they had enough to fly to England. :)

I had my second hockey practice tonight...legs are a little tired. It was tough to gather the energy tonight ... I'm starting with a cold. Have some inventory numbers to adjust and then I am done with inventory. HOORAY!!!

Arachnids Unite

...on our kitchen table are spiders!

I'm sure enjoying Preston's computer being out of commission. He has not been able to do any of his computer assignments. This has meant earlier bedtimes for him and sleeping in for me :). He got the kids going on a craft today (making spiders - they are still missing their eyes). He has big Halloween decorating plans. Something about a spider den in the garage...not sure we really need to make spiders, there are enough live ones!

We got a little yard work done, but needed to stop to play - so there are piles of leaves throughout our yard. Hopefully they won't blow away before we get around to picking them up!

I counted some inventory at the store tonight, I just couldn't go the whole weekend without throwing in a little work and now it is movie night. We will see about Preston's pick "The Astronaut Farmer." He was trying to chose a movie we'd both like and those usually bomb, but I will try to go into it with an open mind.
