Finally Friday!

To add to all the excitement of the week, K took a half day of vacation today. Of course his half day is different than my half day. His half day means that he is off at 9 am! M enjoyed him coming home early and especially loved the fact that he took us up to the Dollar Store. I have decided to try something a little different with the kids and if they are really good they get a smiley face up on the dry erase board and if they are really naughty they get a frowny face on the dry erase board. If they get three frowny faces they get a strike which is something taken away, a movie etc. This won't be for those little misbehaving things, but the kids have TOTALLY forgotten their polite words and become really demanding and when their parents come or drop them off they tend to get really wild and not listen at all. So we had to go and get the dry erase board to chart this one and during this trip the girls got their first smiley face as we had to wait in line for a LONG time (seriously we were in line three isles back in the beginning!) and the girls were VERY patient and played with each other's hair, counted the girls and boys on one of the displays, talked to me, and sang a bit while we waited in line. I was very impressed!
K is off playing golf with Pastor now. They headed out to a course about a half an hour to 45 minutes away. K says he will be back around dark(about 4:30-5 with the time change now! UGH! But that's a whole other subject!). I'm glad that he is going, he needs to spend some time with some guys. We spend alot of time together but I also have my knitting group and the girls from Worship Team. Unfortunately K spends his time in Worship Team practice back in his little soundbooth working on the graphics for the backgrounds for the songs and getting the verses and choruses and just songs in general in order so he doesn't even get to hang around with the guys from the Worship Team. Pastor does try to spend time with him, actually we have been invited over for a fire out in the backyard again after practice with a few other families. But I am just happy to see him go out and play golf and do things with the guys from church, lol I am always afraid that I am boring him to death with my talk of kids, tantrums, yarn, and knitting lol!
Now if I could just get out of driving the hour and a half to help K's brother move this weekend it would be a great weekend!!!
