Good Week

Things have sure been hoppin' around here -- but in really good ways. (Ya know it's busy when I don't even find time to blog!) BB had her first solo day at preschool yesterday, and I'm delighted to say that it went Really Well. She was there from 9:30 to noon by herself, and she did great. So proud of my not-so-little-anymore girl!

Yesterday was also spent with some very nice family time, since Grandpa D and Grandma C were here for a day's visit. This weekend, we'll have a family reunion with S's side of the family. Will be fun to see folks, and I'm looking forward to getting the kids some more good cousin time.

What else this week? Well, we had our annual camping trip Monday through Wednesday to start off the week, three lovely days and two chilly nights in a tent cabin in Big Basin. A separate post on that will be coming soon, as soon as I can get the pics off of the camera. Lots of fun, and even somewhat relaxing (!!!) in spite of the fact that we were four hours late in our departure.

The original plan had been to go to gym class on Monday morning, tucker out the kids, grab a quick lunch, then head over the hill about 12:30. We had a great time in gym class -- I was a little worried, since we'd taken a break all last month due to our travels, and when we returned they no longer had space for us on Fridays with our regular teachers. New (to us) teachers have been a problem in the past, especially for BB, but both the kids really enjoyed themselves , and I had many a smiling moment watching them run around.

We didn't end up leaving for the camping trip until about 4:30 p.m. but in spite of afternoon traffic those four hours were very well spent, because they were the result of our waiting around to be able to finalize paperwork to accept an offer on our house! Knock wood and all that, but things are now under contract and hopefully the 30 days of escrow will go smoothly. We loved our little bungalow, but it will be very, very good to be done with The Stress Of Selling A House!

I promise lots of cute, grubby kid pics and other fun stories soon. (Did I mention that we've reached the Knock Knock Joke stage of childhood humor? Ah, yes. Interrupting Cow and all.) But for now, this quick update will have to do. Dear Readers, I hope you've had a Good Week, too!
