Having Fun

We have had an enjoyable week. I am glad Aaron will be home in a couple of hours, but I was pleasantly surprised at what a great week we had. Tuesday the boys started a summer preschool program they are offering through Adan's preschool. Normally, I probably wouldn't send them off for the summer so we could enjoy some activities together. However, under the current circumstances it has worked out well to send them to this summer program. It is two days a week for three hours. Since there aren't a whole lot of kids signed up to go, Mateo and Adan are in the same class. I was a little worried about this at first, but it has worked out very well. Mateo cried the first day for a little while (He tells me, "I only cried until we got in the gym.") Adan was also a little sad not to have Mrs. Beth for a teacher. On Thursday neither one wanted to go and Mateo cried and cried for about one minute. Having Adan in his class was great because he knows someone. They also have been playing together during their recess time and gym time. They are getting along. WOW! (The reason for me having to send them is because I couldn't get packing done wihtout them constantly fighting. They are excited that they only have a few more times to go before we leave to Utah. Wednesday we also had an enjoyable day. A friend offered to take Adan and Mateo while I packed and made preparations for our Yard Sale this Saturday. Adan also lucked out and was able to go to the Wallace's on Wednesday afternoon. This past week we have been able to enjoy walks, friends, and time together. We are looking forward to having Aaron home, but we are also geared up becasue we have a very busy weekend. The boy are prepared to work hard. They really enjoy all the projects we have been doing. They have also enjoyed earning money and looking forward to the Yard Sale tomorrow! I have been decluttering and realizing we have too many toys, I convinced them that some of the toys needed to go in the Yard Sale. They of course were not too excited about this plan. However, when I mentioned that they could get some of the money from the toys that were sold, they were very excited at this. They love earning money. Mateo is so cute about the whole money thing because when we go to the store, he will say,"I am saving my money for anything he sees." He was even telling Sheri this week and other people we saw,"I am saving my money for Diego cars." Adan does not know what he is saving his money for but he just says,"I am saving my money." I love it! I hope they stay like this for along time. Well I have much to do. I will post more this weekend. We plan on putting in more flooring this weekend!

We needed to get out and get some exercise!
