Week Two begins...
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The kids are both still happy to get on the bus every morning which is a huge plus. Today is the day that they start CCD or as it is now known PREP. I have mixed feelings about this program. I understand that it is needed for my kids to receive their sacraments. Paul and I attend weekly mass at our church and always have. I can remember going to Assumption for mass and sitting their holding Paul's hand before we both went off to our bachlor and bachlorette parties...can't imagine what our prayers were for that evening!! Anyhow...I hope that my kids get what they need from these classes. As I attended Catholic school, prayer and listening about God was daily for me. I never knew anything else so I feel that weekly PREP may lack what they need to feel connected to the church someday. But I could not handle more than weekly classes. It will not be easy to get the homework finished and dinner done before I ship them out the door.
I am getting stuff ready for our DISNEY trip already. The kids have started a "sleeps" count down. And I have started a "budget breakdown". I am looking forward to this trip a great deal because the kids are so excited as well. We have talked about it to death at this point. They have earned several Disney Dollars as rewards for various good deeds and behavior. Keep my fingers crossed for the weather but it is a little too early for me to stalk it yet!!

Here my darling little girl!! HAHA. She went on her first class trip and it was to a play gym for kids. It was gross and dirty and I wanted to take he out of there right away but she was so happy to go that I simply could not.
The best part of the trip is that I spent the entire time talking with two old friends about the wonders of a Disney trip.

Ella had her hair trimmed and she was so excited. The hairdresser was mean and really made me angry as she continued to yell at Ella to sit still. She was just excited. Ughh Why do some people kill all the fun???

We spent the day with a wonderful couple who the grandparents of my best friend. I lost all my grandparents years ago so these amazing people have been all I had to look at for the example of what giving older people can be.
Somehow the pictures that I tried to upload were not working so I am just including the description of our day until I can get the pictures working.
