Tara got a new job in the fall teaching art for Grandville Public Schools. It's great because she is closer to home and that is where the girls will go to school. The only downside was she needed a babysitter on Thursdays for the 1st semester. With my job being flexible I was able to do it for her. It has been so fun seeing these two goofballs once a week! We have a routine too....Jackie goes to school in the morning, so Grace and I drop her off at about 8:50 and then Grace says "Let's go to the mall" (Kelly's mall, meaning Rivertown). We head to Panera and get a bagel and some apple juice. She likes the cinnamon crunch with "lots of butta!" One week she told me she was the butter queen. Then we usually go up to the Carousel for a ride, walk around for a bit and then go get Jackie and head home for lunch. After lunch we try to get Grace to take a nap and then I get some time with Jackie, she likes to read, play games, or play on the i pad especially if she is stuck on a level of a game and needs some help, I am the video game Aunt. We built a snowman yesterday afternoon, it was so nice to see the sun and have the temp above 30 degrees we all needed to get out for a bit. Tara's schedule switches at the semester (next week) and she only teaches on Tues. Good for her to be home but I think I'll still have to run in to Grandville every once and a while and take Grace to Panera and play the beans game with Jackie! Thanks for letting me have this time with them Tara and Adam....we have had so much fun!
