We'll see what else we end up doing this week. I need to start prepping some things for our trip to Tennessee in a month. We have so much going on between now and then, I am going to have to try to squeeze in some things here and there and stick them in the freezer till the trip. I mostly want to prep and freeze lots of things to have in the car on the way there and back. Things like larabars, granola bars, crispy nuts, trail mix, beef jerky, etc. Hopefully I can get one batch of larabars done this week and maybe do some crispy cashews. I know I'll be doing some food preservation, too. I've got a lot of tomatoes from the garden, so I'm planning to can chopped tomatoes this afternoon. I want to do a batch of pasta sauce this week, too. And of course, I'll be dealing with the chickens on Wednesday night. I'll be picking up 8 whole birds, which I'll butcher up and freeze into meal size portions of the different cuts. We'll see what else I can get done.

Good luck getting everything done. Sorry to hear things are so crazy.
I didn't know Carson was going to pre-k! Where?
Looking forward to Saturday. I hope the weather is ok.
Yep! It has been sort of a last minute thing... just happened in the last week and a half. :) He's enrolled in the 3-yr old class at Faith Lutheran. So he'll go 2 hours on Tuesday mornings and 2 hours on Thursday mornings. I think it'll be so good for him.
Awesome! I bet he'll love it. It will be good for him to interact with other kids. Who is going to take him/get him?
I think it'll be good to have on a regular basis. He gets a good deal of interaction w/ other kids when he's at my aunt's house and my mom's house... they're always taking him places like the park, the children's museum, library, etc. And I focus on that as much as possible when he's with me on my flex days and weekends, too. But it'll be good for him to be in a social setting w/out mom, dad, or a caregiver. :)
Kevin and I are going to adjust our work schedules and hopefully split drop-offs. I'm going on Plan A. One of us will always drop Carson off. Then your parents will pick him up. They're looking forward to sleeping in. ;-P
Sounds like a good plan. That was what I meant...with other kids without you. Rebecca gets that with Little Lambs, MOPS and Kindermusik. It's good for them. She was excited, though, when I asked her if she wanted to do school with me yesterday. She asked if I would be her teacher :) We'll see how things go this year.
Very exciting that you'll be on Plan A. Does that mean you'll be working fewer hours overall?
I'm sure my parents will enjoy the sleep :P
