Change of Plans

I had taken tomorrow off from work to go on a fieldtrip with Cobe's class. We were supposed to go snow-shoeing which I was looking forward to b/c I've never been before. Obviously since the snow is all gone, that got changed to a hike in the woods. Today his teacher emailed me and said the trip was canceled all together b/c of the mud. So, she rescheduled it for the 24th. Hopefully I'll still be able to make it that day. I was looking forward to going- now that my baby is 9, there aren't nearly as many opportunities to see him at school. Soooo...now I'll be at work tomorrow like usual instead of playing hooky. ;-) Sadie really wants me to come to her classroom for a morning one day, so I think I'll try and do that soon and then I can miss work for that!

And our weekend plans got changed as well. We were supposed to hang with some friends Saturday night, but they have a new baby instead! Congratulations Jason and Julie!!!!! Little Noah decided to enter this world a few weeks earlier than planned. I'm sure we'll still drop over sometime this weekend to meet him. I told Ryan now he has to take me out for Valentine's Day instead since we have no plans Saturday night. :-) Hmmm.... I wonder if he'll follow through with that! We all got great Valentine's from my parents today-the BEST kind....ones with gift cards to Target in them!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!! Ryan will burn his on movies I'm sure. The kids are going to save theirs for something big. With Cobe's birthday ones, they are up to about $200 that they can put towards something big.... like a new Playstation 3 or an X-box or a Wii. I think I"ll wait until after Brooks' birthday and see if he gets any (hint, hint- haha!) and then they can go pick out a family gift together. How fun to get something everybody can enjoy for a long time instead of a few toys they'll forget about in a day or two.

Kendall has been with us this week while her mommy and daddy are out-of-town. I have to work in Brooks' classroom this afternoon, so Spottie will have Sadie, but Kendall wants to go with me. Brooks will think it is pretty cool that "Lovie" is coming to his classroom! The girls have had so much fun- so much in fact that they both crashed last night before 5:00, and didn't get up until after 8:00. They are full of energy today though!

I guess our awesome weather had to come to an end. I mean, it IS February in Michigan! We have had several days of warm, dry weather. Today is still warm, but rainy. I'm fine with any k kind of weather as long as we don't get heaps of snow again. Very nice to see green again!

Well, the girls want to color, so I am going to go clean up their lunch dishes and get out the craft supplies. Adios!

I can babysit for a Valentine's night out on Sunday if you all want to do that.

I guess I should have checked your blog first before asking you on facebook about Julie and the baby! Was Noah big? Small? I'm assuming small since she is a small person. I need to go get her a gift! Jeffrey is beside himself with excitement about Brook's party. He shrieked when I told him that it was at CEC. You are very nice and brave! I can't wait to just drop him off in your care! He is always good for others so I'm not worried about it! One of these upcoming weeks when the kids are together in Motor Movement do you want to get coffee or something if you don't have any work to catch up on? Just let me know!

We got a awesome V card from my sister and brother-in-law with a message that is so appropriate.

Take care of them in the frozen/muddy north.
