We don’t get to eat dinner as a family during the week because Mike doesn’t get home until 7:00. So on the weekends, I try to have us all eat together.
And the kids are finally getting old enough that they can use real dishes! Yeah!

We already know I like (okay, LOVE) books. We already know that I’m crazy and can’t say “no” when asked to do something. Now, I’m not sure if lady is the right word for me, but it’s the right gender 😉
So…when you put ’em all together … you’ll find that I’m now an Independent Consultant for Usborne Books!! I can do home parties, eParties, and fundraisers. (It’s kind of like a tupperware party, but with books. How cool is that??)
These books are for kids from birth through teen-aged years…and they’re educational. But not only are they educational, they’re fun. The tag line is The books kids love to read! (We have a few – it’s true. They’re fantastic.)

Wanna have a party? 🙂

Burke’s class is putting on a play next week. Each kids has a different letter to represent the part of the story they’re supposed to “read.”
Today’s assignment was to create a picture to help remember the words. Nanny Jessica helped out a little (the river, the corn, some tufts of grass, and the watermelons). Burke drew the rest.
I’m particularly impressed with his people!
The words he has to read:
F is for Fields
The Pilgrims found forests and fields where
The native people had planted corn. They also
Found clean water to drink.

I love that I can take my kids to a restaurant – by myself!

This is from September 30th of this year. There was an open house at Kindergarten, and Burke’s self-portrait was one of the few displayed by the office 🙂
(His bangs were a wee bit long, so that’s the line down the middle of his forehead.)
The words at the bottom:
Meet Me
My name is Burke.
I like to ride my bike.
My favorite color is rainbow.
I can help Logan color by myself.

For Halloween, in addition to candy, we gave out mini decks of cards. There were a few grabbed before the kids left to trick-or-treat, and a few left over after the neighborhood kids were done for the night.
Yesterday was filled with Rummy, High Flyer (like Old Maid), and War.
Burke is *really* into Rummy (and War), and Maggie enjoys High Flyer.
I just love that my kids are “getting” new card games – and that Makes My Monday.
