LONG WEEK

It has been an unusually long week...not sure why!! Yesterday, Jake went to his friend Ben's house for about an hour. He rode his scooter over by himself and home by himself. They live behind us, so he had to go around the block. I was nervous, but I guess it is time that I allow him to do these things. I watched him until he was out of my sight, then Ben's mom took over and made sure he got there o.k. Jake had no clue that as soon as he took off for home that Ben's mom called me so that I could be on the lookout for him! I guess we'll just let him think that he's doing it all alone :)

I had my cousin Brooke come over last night and watch the kids so that I could go to a meeting. I joined a committee that is fundraising for new playground equipment at Hansen. The current equipment is very old and it is time for a change. We are doing 2 phases in this large project to the tune of well over $100,000!! We'd really like to NOT have our kids going door to door to fund this project, so we are going to hopefully rely on grants, businesses and private donations to take care of it. We've come up with several activities for the kids to participate in as well...we'll see how this goes!

I had my final dentist appointment yesterday and only had to endure 2 shots this time. It was a breeze. I go back in 8 weeks and we'll see what comes next!

Jake is pretty pumped up for school today. They have Field Days this afternoon. He told me it is like having gym ALL afternoon. He can hardly wait! After school today we are heading to the gym to set up the stage for next week's Talent Show.

We don't have any big plans for the weekend. I wanted to go somewhere and enjoy the sun...Scott wasn't up for traveling. So, I guess I'll enlist in his help to wash the windows...maybe next time he'll want to travel ha, ha!!!
