Wednesday Update

We wrapped up a great visit from the Robinson cousins yesterday, followed by lots of loads of laundry, house-cleaning, etc, which is all not quite finished up yet. When you have 5 kids running around the house, inevitably you get behind on some things like housekeeping :) Saturday we took the kids to the pool and then Abby and I went to the mall and out to dinner to enjoy some yummy Spanish food and sangria, and Sunday we took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge for the night. (Joel stayed behind with Caroline since he had to work Monday and she is really too young to do much there except, well, possibly drown anyway). It was Ben and Becca's 4th trip to GWL and Charlie and Amelia's first, so Ben and Becca were excited to introduce their cousins to things like The Howling Tornado (water slide) and the MaqiQuest game. Ben FINALLY got to battle (and finally defeated) the red dragon, so he was very happy. Now the next time we go he can work on the ice dragon ;)

Going back to work yesterday after a 3 day weekend sucked, and I have tons to do at work so of course I must take some time now to procrastinate some more :)

This is Caroline's last week at Lambs of Grace, she starts at CJP on Monday. They put her in a "young twos" class with 8 other kids who turn 2 between September and December, with our favorite teacher and Becca's "best friend" Lindsay. Lindsay called yesterday to discuss Caroline's dietary restrictions/procedures for making sure her food / eating area does not get contaminated. We will bring Caroline to "meet the teacher" on Sunday so she can see her new classroom before we leave her there on Monday. I am sure there will be a bit of an adjustment for her, but I am so excited for her to be at CJP finally!!
