Back to the Grind!

Well, my first day back from break wasn't sooooo bad. It was really hard to get up and get going though. I hit my snooze quite a bit. My friend Kris has never hit the snooze button in her life!!! Can you believe that?!? It is unfathomable to me!
So I got out of bed with about 20 minutes to sit and drink some coffee in peace and gather my thoughts for the day. I actually left the girls at home for Jeff to bring in later. I decided I wanted to get to school early so I left my house at 6:30 instead of the normal 7:15. I knew Jenna and Mikayla wouldn't be very happy. For some strange reason they like to get up early at 6:15 and go to school with me rather than sleep until 7:15 and come to school at 8:15. THAT is unfathomable to me too. Once I got to school and got going I was fine. The day went quickly. The girls had dance so that kept us busy in the evening. Haley was so tired that I thought she would fall asleep on the dance floor, but she made it through and I drove her straight home and straight to bed at 7:15. She got used to the extra sleep and lazy days over Christmas break also!

Well, we have finally decided on a siding color for our house. My family will be totally surprised because we showed them so many samples and were leaning towards a dark blue, then we went to a gray, decided on a gray for the longest time, and then went to a light blue, but have finally DECIDED on a light yellow. It is called Harvest yellow or something. It is very pale and will look beautiful! We have scoured every neighborhood in our area and beyond looking at siding with our little siding samples. I even convinced Jeff to walk up to one and hold up our sample to see if it was the same. I have given him the "assignment" to do the same today to a beautiful yellow house that we saw. I want to make sure that our sample is the same, so I know what we are getting. I do not want to live in a house that looks like a lemon! We won't for sure, its not even close. Leah- it is similar to your house color, but a little yellower maybe. I told Jeff that if it is the same color to go to Menards and ORDER it so we can't change our minds. I can only equate that decision to the one of choosing a baby name. They are both so permanent! (Yes, you can change your siding, but to the tune of thousands of dollars!)

Jeff was going to try and borrow a camera from our builder today to take some shots of the house. Mine is still not working from being dropped on the floor of the indoor waterpark over Christmas break! I am going through major withdrawal. I don't know what I'm going to do. I take a picture of one of my students every week to put into the class newsletter and I don't have a camera to do that!

Well, should get back to my kiddos who are working very quietly on a reading assignment. Anna and Luke are getting chatty today though, I might have to seperate them! :)

Have a good one!
