This week has been quite long for all of us. We began the week with a very thorough cleaning of the house because everyone ended up with the flu. On top of the cleaning we were also battling temper tantrums from Emily; tantrums like I have never before seen with this child. They were long tantrums-one lasted an hour. Our way to handle them was to ignore them. They got shorter as the week went on and Wednesday and Friday we didn't have one tantrum with Emily. Ignoring a tantrum is much easier said than done!
This week at work I began teaching my preschoolers their songs for preschool graduation. The kids were doing quite well on the first day. I glanced up from my song sheet and realized these little kids have come so far in the last nine months and I began to cry. Who would have thought that these kids have grown on me so much? I think I will miss a majority of them when they are off in kindergarten next year.
On Thursday evening I put my apron on (figuratively, not literally) and I became Susie Homemaker. I made a loaf of banana bread and a batch of my amazing cinnamon rolls. The banana bread was for us at home. The rolls were for Bryce to take to work. I have made them for Bryce to take to work before and they were a hit 2 years ago. So much in fact that one guy who had them talked them up to everyone and by the time it was all said and done the men of Microsoft required 16 cinnamon rolls. None were left for me to enjoy. :( Oh, don't ask me for the recipe because you won't get it. That is the one recipe that I refuse to share. If you ask nicely I might make them for you though!
This weekend should be a nice relaxing one. Today the plans are for a little laundry, some shopping and then the Elton John & Billy Joel concert tonight. Emily's favorite teacher and my good friend Whitney will be coming to the house to hang out with Emily so Bryce and I can go to dinner before the concert. Th picture below is of Emily and Whitney at Whitney's wedding last summer.
Hopefully the weekend drags on the way the week itself did!
