Back to Life...

Back to Reality!! Hope everyone had a great first post-holidays week. We struggled a bit to get back into the routine, but we had a good week overall.  Went from FREEZING at the beginning of the week to GORGEOUS Friday and Saturday. Wondering if winter is going to really make an appearance this year or not (fine with me if it decides to take the year off). Taking my oldest on a preschool field trip to Discovery Place Kids this week...I can't wait, but you might want to avoid that place on Thursday morning unless you care to spend your morning with 60 fun four-year olds!!! Lots of fun things happening this week...enjoy!
