Ahhh! The kids are in school and it is quiet and CLEAN at our house. Parker is loving his one on one time with his mommy and I love it too! We have played cars, bouncing balls, read books, gone on walks with Parker in his wagon, changed lots of diapers, had a few jammy days, and we even went to the spray park with some friends without the big kids. (They were mad!) I feel so blessed for this time I have to spend with Parker.
O.K. Since our home hasn't sold yet, I have had several people ask me if I am going to do preschool again. At first the answer was I don't know! Now, the answer is yes on a very, very small scale compared to what it was. It will only be two days a week for two hours each day. What a dream. I was up to five classes and almost sixty kids, working four, sometimes five days a week all day long and weekends preparing. Yes, I had the monopoly of preschool here. When Shane got the job in Wyoming, we knew that I wouldn't have to do preschool anymore if I didn't want to. I had four full classes signed up for this next school year but mailed back their registration fees, and basically handed over my whole sign up list to a lady in my ward who has been wanting to start up a preschool. I wasn't sure if we would be here or not so I felt that it was the right thing to do instead of keeping the parents hanging on weather or not their child would get preschool. I was approached by a daycare provider that had four children that were not able to get into any other preschools yet and so I told her if I had four or more I would do it. This week, I am going to be busy unpacking my preschool supplies, table, benches, etc. from the storage unit. I am still hoping that our home will sell; however, this will help me to pass the time a little easier and yes, Parker will attend preschool as well. I think he'll love it. All of the parents know that if the home sells I will be done teaching preschool. They are all right with that so here we go!
On another note, Shane started school today with students. Yeah!!! He is excited to start and to get into a routine. I know he will be well received there. He is an awesome teacher that everyone loves. Everyone loves Shane outside of the classroom too. I have never met a person that doesn't think he is great! We miss him dearly but look forward to our visits with him. He will be home for Labor Day weekend for more than 24 hours this time!!! Wahoo. I told the kids this morning that they only have two sleeps left until he comes. They can't wait. Well, I think that is all of our news for now, sorry, no pictures this week to share. I need to get on it! Love all of you!

So I noticed you posted this at 8:05 a.m. How in the world did you get your house clean that quick??? It seems like it takes me until at least 9 or 10 before my house looks presentable! I bet you are so bored with the rest of the day! Good thing for Parker! Miss you guys, and Hang in there!
So, I guess I should clarify my wonder woman cleaning abilities! I just meant that in general not having two of the three kids home all day everyday, the house just stays cleaner! Yeah, it takes a while to get the beds made and other stuff done. They just aren't here to make messes all day long-I miss not having them home, but I have to say it's great to have a cleaner house! (I also don't sleep when Shane is gone so midnight cleaning is in the picture too!) So there you have it, kids are gone, house is clean, what's next?
O.K. I will comment on my own sight one more time. I just realized that the posts are showing an hour earlier than it really is. It is really 9:44 p.m.
I wish we were there then Trae could join you in preschool! He is dying to go to school! Thanks for the email with the attachment for Trae as soon as I am able I will print them out! He will love it!
