Family Night @ the Arboretum

 

Best Friends!!!
 

 

 

Clayton found a caterpillar on a pumpkin, and though he would not touch it, he studied it very intently.

The YMCA provided free passes to the Arboretum this evening. We took advantage of the great scenery and let the kids wear thier costumes and run around with thier best friends Lucy and Grey. After the kids ran wild for a while and I got tired of chasing them trying to get cute pictures, we had a nice little picnic then headed home.

Out of the House


So after 5 years of doing nothing but taking care of things in our own home I am attempting a part time job. I never would have imagined I would have anything to offer an employer with two kids under 5, no college diploma, and a husband in law school. Several weeks ago I dropped Clayton off at Mother's Day Out, and decided to go window shop at the mall instead of going straight home to clean. I walked into my favorite kids shop and was asked if I was looking for a part time job. Shocked I stuttered that I could only work Mondays and Wednesdays while my kids were both in school. Perfect she said just fill out this application. The next thing I new I was working. It isn't much, but just getting to accomplish something outside the home is a blast. It has been a little hard to adjust to the new responsibility, but Jason and the kids have been wonderfully supportive. Hopefully soon I will figure out how to get everything at home done in less time than I used to have. In the mean time I am enjoying the new experience even if it means that our home is a little disheveled. Who new something I once dreaded, going to work in a clothing store, could be so wonderful.
