First week

Well, the boys are home with Jenna and me. They had spring break for their MN school the last week of March and for their new NE school the first week of April.

Monday (4-3-06) the kids accompanied me to a meeting with the recruiter for Millard Public Schools. I will have my name submitted for teachers interested in a 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade position for the 2006-2007 school year. The unpacking continues.

Tuesday (4-4-06) Jenna decided to give herself a 'big girl' hair cut. She found a pair of school scissors and snuck off to the basement to give herself a bang trim. Unfortunatly, the 1x1 inch chunk of hair didn't go un-noticed. Jeff saw it at supper time and boy was Jenna mad at dad for brining it to mom's attention! Needless to say....mom was mad!

Wednesday (4-5-06) We took a trip to "Pony Tails and Buzz Cuts" to get Jenna's hair fixed and for Joe to get a trim. Jenna looks much better and Joe smells better since he got some new hair gel that smells like grape jelly. Joe spent some of his birthday money / Christmas gift cards at Target and got a new LEGO airplane. He spent the rest of his day playing LEGOs in his room. I got a call for an interview for a 3rd or 5th grade teaching position. Interview will be on Friday.

Thursday (4-6-06) Hummmm, boxes boxes are my life. Joe was a great chef tonight and made supper. His pick: lasagna. It was delicious.

Friday (4-7-06) I had my interview today. Jeff spent the morning with the kids so I could get to the interview. It went so/so. I think I answered the questions well, but it appeared to me that the other candidates were known to the interview team. I guess it is wait and see. YEAH the weekend is here! More boxes to undo. We ate our last package of Alaskan Halibit from my folks.

Saturday (4-8-06) What a big day. We started out by going to the ConAgra company store. We stocked up on a few items. Manwich, popcorn, pudding. After that we went to Menards to return a window blind. We wanted white - it was ivory with a red tone. Menards didn't have any more white. We headed to Lowes to get a blind there - they, too, only have ivory. Yes, we are crazy and bought it....we thought "perhaps, since the blinds are fabric, they can't be 'true white'. Jeff put the blind up with assistance from Joe and it is great!

Sunday (4-9-06) We attended church again at "Living Faith UMC". This time Jenna and Jackson attended Sunday School. Afterwards we did more jobs around the house. We decided it was about time to get out of the house and do one fun thing for spring break, so we went to the movie "Ice Age 2". Kids loved it. Before the movie Jeff went to "Sportsmen Haircut" and got a cut. It was like walking into Cabella's. ESPN on the flat screen TVs at each chair.... he loved it.
After the cut we all went to Scheels All Sport to get an "Alley Cat" bike attachment for Jenna to ride on the back of my bike. We used it and it works great! Joe played chef again and made supper for the kids. He got a Chef-Boy-R-Dee Pizza from the ConAgra Company Store and did a great job at reading and following the directions. The kids loved the pizza and ate the entire thing. Meanwhile, Jaci created a delicious deep dish pizza for the adults. After a little Extream Make Over - Home Edition, it was bed time for the kids. The boys had school in the morning!
