My First Week...

My first week home was good--I still feel like I'm on vacation, but it's OK.  I was really worried that since I was home that I would eat more..for the first time in a long time, I actually had a 2 lb. loss which brings my total pounds lost to 31 (since January).  I have also had a lot of time to reflect on what kind of household I want to raise my kids in--I thought I had it figured out, but this past week, I am on a strong mission to bring order to this house.  From being organized to nutrition, to limiting TV time to even how I interact with my family, it's all going to change. 

I went this morning to buy curriculum supplies (in another words, I bought some blocks and finger paints, lol) as I'm going to do some preliminary preschool things with Caleb this fall--I also checked out a book full of neat cheap science projects to do with Bailey for the remainder of the summer. 

My husband and I have an exciting 'staycation' coming up in a few weeks, which will include a trip to the Topeka Zoo and Pool, a backyard campout (complete with s'mores and firefly hunting) and a small fishing trip to Wyandotte County Lake.

Here's to getting re-acquainted with my family and going back to basics.  :-)
