Our Lovely Life: A Week

The week flew by for us. Justin's class is off to a good start. The boys are doing great, and will officially be in Pre-K and Preschool tomorrow. They also start their new Mon-Tues-Thurs schedule, so they'll probably get to see some new friends. I've been printing off family/sibling photos this afternoon since both of their classes are going to be making family books to start off their new school year. Jacoby's older friends have all gone off to the big school, which has left Jacoby's class slightly puzzled about all of this business about kindergarten. He informed me the other night while I was tucking him in that when you go to kindergarten you no longer have a mommy and daddy and you don't live at home. Good thing we have 1 year to sort through all of this!

Most noteworthy for us this past week was a visit from our owner Thursday evening. Everything went just fine and she seemed pleased with the condition of the house. She did bring a realtor with her, which stopped Justin's and my heart briefly, but she was trying to get a sense of what would need to be done around the house after we move out to be ready to sell. We feel pretty confident that she understands our timeline and won't be kicking us out before we're ready.

We declared Friday "family day" and decided to go on a couple of "daventures" (as Jacoby says). So we visited Dinosaur Ridge to learn more about the fossils and dinosaur discoveries in our backyard (the Stegosaurus is the Colorado state fossil, in case you were wondering...just one of the factoids we learned). We then ventured to a cute amusement park called Heritage Square in Golden. It figures that I would have at least one child with a thrill gene, and it looks like it may be Jacoby. He laughed the entire time we were on the roller coaster, while Mommy screamed like a girl. I'm going to have to buck up if I'm to keep up with them when they get older! He also rode the Scrambler with Daddy. I believe we may have traumatized Morgan on the roller coaster, so he and Daddy had to ride a tame kiddy ride to make things better. It was a very fun day.

We've spent the rest of the weekend at home, not doing much of anything but playing, napping, and hanging out. We're looking forward to an uneventful week.
