Back to the Routine...

I must say that after having both Ben and Caroline off school / day care since before Christmas, I am kind of glad to have sent them both back today! Rebecca was only off 3 days, and they were all days that I was also off anyway so she was no problem.

Ben should not have anything to complain about re: winter break, considering that he had a sleep over, three play dates, three days at winter break camp where he went on field trips to Monkey Joe's etc, our Great Wolf Lodge trip, dinner and a movie with Papa and Mary on New Year's Eve, etc. I bet if you asked him what he did over break though he'd just look at you blankly and not be able to come up with anything ;)

Yesterday Joel took Ben and Rebecca to an indoor trampoline park called Sky High, which the kids gave two enthusiastic thumbs up. Apparently the walls are trampolines too, and you can throw yourself into them. And there is a foam pit that you can swing over on a rope and drop into. And something about dodge ball.... I stayed home to do housework and put the baby down for a nap.

Caroline visited the doctor this morning and got the "all clear" on her latest double ear infections, and got her vaccinations which she missed a couple weeks ago due to the ear infections. Now all 3 kids are at school / day care, the dog is at camp, the house cleaners are here, and I am going to catch up on work!
