Recovery week is now over!

Hi all!
Can't believe this week is almost gone.
We spent Sunday all afternoon getting groceries. After that, it was unpacking the suitcases and starting on laundry.
Monday, since we noticed our closet was flooded, I went to storage to see if it was wet. It wasn't, but I spent most of the morning and part of the afternoon out there sorting. It has been on my to do list for the summer and I hadn't gotten to it. It looks so nice and organized out there. I even emptied the file cabinet out, so now all I need to do is get some folders and get to work on organizing that. We went to get our frog Todd that afternoon and when we got there, Ashley, the girl at Retiles Galore said that she had class on Friday so another girl worked for her. She sprayed and fed Todd before leaving. Saturday and Sunday the store was closed, so when she got back on Monday she noticed Todd was missing. She called the girl who had worked Friday and they werent sure when he had gotten out. She felt horrible. We told her we knew that Todd was a sneaky frog and they would probaby find him. When they did, to call us. Well, Ashley said she couldn't let Nathan go home without a pet, so she let him pick any frog in her store. He chose one that looks almost exactly like Todd only about 3 times bigger. His name is Thomas. Well, since he is bigger, he is easier to handle and keep track of, so Thomas has gotten a lot of play time this week. If I knew how to post pictures, I would put one up of him in the freight car of one of Nathan's trains. He actually seemed to enjoy it.
Tuesday, since I was in storage most of Monday, was cleaning the kids rooms. They had gotten into every toy area and I was too tired Monday to make them clean it up, so that was our job for Tuesday. After picking up and vacuuming, we set up tracks in Nathan's room to play with all week and in Hannah's room we organized her doll house. We also worked on the living room. Part of the morning we visited with Ms. Catherine (Hannah's preschool teacher) about supply lists. Then Amy, from across the hall came over, wondering if I would be interested in watching Abram on the days she has to work. I didn't get to talk much in detail with her, but she said that he would be in a mother's day program staring in the fall on Tuesdays and Fridays. That means I would watch him Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It would be he and I on the Monday, Wednesdays, and Hannah, he and I on Thursday. I would have Fridays to myself. She is willing to pay $100. That is better than any part time job I could get. I am going to try and catch her tod ay and work out details.
Yesterday we walked to Rolling Hills library to pick up some books and then on our way back we went by the Thomas store. We played there for about an hour before heading home for lunch. Then it was the day to get the kitchen cleaned up. I had been putting it off for quite a while. I have most of it done, but need to finish up today. We are running to Walmart this morning to get school supplies and the oil changed in the car. Chris is supposed to be finished with inventory today around noon, so that will be nice.
That's is about it from here. The house is coming together after the trip and starting next week, we will be back on a regular schedule of getting up for school and doing our chores; along with working on our pre-school activities.
Hope this finds everyone well and will write again soon!
