In typical fashion, I completely over did it yesterday. J decided that it was a lovely day to go for our large walk (about 3 miles). Well, I'll give him that...it was nice.
After that we came back I tried to rest and slowly get ready for our photoshoot with Michelle. That went wonderfully. She has such patience with Roo and really took some great shots (from what I can tell from the back of her camera). We should get a peek at them this week. All in all she took over 250 shots (thank goodness for digital, huh?!) so there are BOUND to be some good ones in there! :-) I'll be sure to post some if I get permission!
Last night I came home and completely fell apart. I'm STILL sore from the walking and photo shoot. Sadly, this won't be the last time...because that's how I am.
On the preschool front...I JUST got word that Roo has been accepted into the 3 year old program for 2 day a week school. YAY! We've been waitlisted for the 3 day a week so you NEVER know! HIP HIP HORRAY!
The director said this was the first time that they've ever had the 3 day a week class filled with all students from the previous year (moving up) AND the first year they've had a waiting list! Guess we jumped in there with all of the other movers and shakers.

Today is B-Day
Ok, so I stole this from Lia but it's fitting. Today, being the first day of February has been designated as our own family "B-Day." This means a budget. Not a floaty idea about numbers but an actual written down plan. This is not fun. Infact, if I weren't "planning for our future" I'd say forget it. But me being me...I'm a planner.
So, these are the cuts. Minimal Targeting, no Goodwill (sadly our favorite store) and meal planning. We are also on a cash only diet.
Ask me how I feel in a week...
Additional Notes:
We still hadn't heard from the school about Roo's preschool registration so I decided to call. After alot of hemming and hawing, the director confessed...not done. Try again on Monday. Good thoughts...
Also, I have a woman (who is the mother of one of Riley's classmates) coming over to take some maternity pictures this weekend. She's trying to get her business up and running and offered! Luckily it'll be in the 60s and sunny. Now I just need to figure out what to wear!

School Days
It's that time of year...errr ok, not quite.
J and I decided that we should start thinking about where we'd like Roo to go to preschool. Sound simple enough, right? Well, there's half day, full day, private, church-based, daycare settings, school settings, etc. The list goes on and on.
Because of some great references (namely Weston) we decided to check out our new church, St. Philip Neri's program. Last week we toured the school and everything looked great. She'd be in a class with 14 students, 2 teachers and countless activities including, spanish lessons and computer class! It will be 9 am to 12 pm. 2 days (T,TH) or 3 days (M,W,F) a week.
So Monday was D-Day. I had to take Roo to her current school and then head over to the church for registration which started at 8:30 am. I pulled into the parking lot at 7:55 am and there was already a woman in line. Ugh. I quickly got into line behind her and hung out in 32 degrees of loveliness. About 5 minutes later a couple with twin sons pulled up. Ok, Riley was number 2 of 4. Good huh?
The lady from the office took our papers and numbered them and said we were free to go and they would call us. So, until then we wait...
