September Catch Up- week 3

Playing catch up is taking a lot longer then I thought.  I don't like playing catch up because I feel like I am not putting enough thought and words into these posts.  The main reason I want to post is so I can look back and remember a certain day or event and the feelings, thoughts, or emotions that went along with it.  Now that we are half through October I feel as if I never will be caught up to date.  But here's to trying.  

Monday, September 19 to Saturday, September 24

Not to much to report for this week.  Alot of the same things school, preschool, child care, cleaning, sleeping, and hanging out as a family.  

On Wednesday Josh and I celebrated our wedding anniversary!  It has been 4 years since we said I do!  At lunch time he brought me some beautiful red roses.

We were going to go out for dinner after kids went to Awana and Adventure club but we were both tired and wanted to relax.  So Josh dropped off kids, picked up some dinner, wine, and a chick flick the Bridesmaids.  We had a nice relaxing evening wining, dining, and snuggling up to a movie!  Perfect evening in my book.

Jordan started preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays a couple of weeks ago. On Thursdays my mom picks him up and has Jordan for the remainder on the day so I have some free time to clean, clean, and usually clean without any interruptions. Amazing what you can get done in a few hours alone!

Here is a glimpse of what they did this Thursday! The following is taken from the e-mail she sent me with pics!

"He likes to do his magnetic calendar (It is build a bear, from Second Chance.) It was new, so he got to open it, etc. There are a bunch of hearts and little bears, so he likes to put those on the days he is coming to Grammas. 

Then we cut branches and talked about how TODAY is the first day of fall and he all ready knew that. And how the cooler weather makes the leaves change so pretty. Then he helped make me and you an arrangement. 

Then we set to work on dinner. He loved cutting the apples and honestly informed me that his mom said he was to little to use a knife. So I told him I would be right there! He was proud he COULD use a knife. Peeling the carrots was his favorite thing. I let him peel away. One carrot was almost peeled away, but then we had "carrot curls". I found that idea on Pinterest, to put a little dip in the cup and put green peppers, carrots, zuchini, etc in the cup. Pretty cute. He spooned in the dip and then I had him count 5 carrots into each cup. 

Then on to the pizzas. By then he was pretty tired of "cooking". Put helped out. All the time I kept saying how great it was he was making dinner for his family! He was excited to stop and deliver Janas dinner to her." 

As you can see he has a great time spending the day with Gramma! He is more excited about that then actually going to preschool. I can never get any details about preschool but he will go on and on about the fun he had with gramma!
