On Sunday we went to Sunday School and then I kept the nursery. We left after Ned took communion and met my parents at Cracker Barrel. We tried to run to Walmart after naps but it started raining terribly. We had hot dogs for dinner since we had such a big lunch.
We were all home Monday and mainly stayed around the house. We did finally make it to Walmart for the things we needed. Ned cooked steaks on the grill to say goodbye to the summer season.
Aiding and abetting during time out
Tuesday was Avery's first day of 4 year preschool.
She was excited to move to Ms. Brenda's class and had a great day. It was also my first day of Kindergarten. I was exhausted at the end of the day, but overall things went well and my kids were very cute. Ned had a church meeting that night, and I did my best to stay awake until he got home. I was asleep before 9:30.
Avery started dance Wednesday night. She is still tired at the end of the school day and was a little unsure about dance, even though she has the same teacher. The parents hung out in the room for awhile and then she was fine for me to go sit. It is nice to get my Mom time back with Anna, but we are pushing it to get to dance by 5:30 p.m. Ned and Sam will be having boys' dinner on Wednesday nights. Sam seemed to enjoy this and ate a ton of the chicken spaghetti that he refused the night before.
The rest of the week went well for everyone. We have a lot of work to do in Kindergarten in terms of rules, procedures, and learning about school, but I really think I'm going to like it a lot. Avery continued to love school, and Ned and Sam had good weeks as well.
Avery brought home Chester Friday night to stay the weekend. She was not all that interested in including him in our weekend activities. We met Ned at FoSho for dinner Friday night.
Ned worked on the farm Saturday morning, and the kids and I stayed home. Sam turned 18 months old! After naps, I went to the grocery store. Since I got home late, we decided to just go to Applebee's. I left one of Sam's before meal foods at home, and I thought he was going to cry until the meal came. Luckily, a cup of water and some crackers were enough entertainment.

Busy week! I have been hoping that you liked Kindergarten. There must be lots of baseline behaviors to teach that teachers in the upper grades just expect for the kiddos to know. I hear you on being exhausted - teaching is no joke. I had forgotten how much stuff their is to do at home.
