Sorry I haven't really been in a blogging mood lately.  Haven't really been taking any pictures either so I have nothing to post.  Today David brought home all of his personal items from the office. He also brought me an electric pencil sharpener that was left in an office and a box of file folders.  Tomorrow he goes in just to get his mini fridge and say good bye and probably have lunch with the few people that are left.  He has been offered a job here in town which is awesome except for the fact of the low pay, which means a HUGE pay cut for our family.  I'm grateful for the job and benefits but I'm not excited about the low hourly pay he will start out with until he is hired full time.  The only good thing I have found about this job is the commute....about 10 minutes!  I will no longer have to drive the truck all over the place and spend a ton of money in gas because he can drive it now!  Of course, we will be scraping to pay the mortgage and bills so if I randomly start looking in your couches for spare change just ignore it....it's just for a season and I'll pay you back!  Actually, we will survive but it will be hard and I'm dreading Christmas this year b/c I won't be able to do as much as we usually do.  Actually I don't think we will be doing much of anything this year.  The kids always get waaaaaaaaay too much anyway so they won't miss anything by us not buying them presents.  I'm going to have to be creative this year for sure! I've already been looking for ideas online of things I can make.  So, if you are family (or friends) don't get your feelings hurt this year! 

Andrew is finishing up his 3rd week of school and he is doing great!  He is only going half day and is one of the only ones that leaves from his class.  They have an optional full day program but they can't introduce anything new in the afternoon so they do fun centers and reteaching.  When I asked his teacher if he was at a disadvantage she said no.  She already tested him and he is fine.  He is doing great with his behavior and comes home with 2 stamps everyday. 

Grannylou comes out on Saturday and the kids are getting excited about that!  I'm excited b/c someone else will do Grace's hair and I will get a break from being the only one that entertains her while Andrew is gone.  Well I've rambled long enough.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful week and hopefully I will update again soon!
