Nature Club

I made it to nature club today! If you recall last month, I got lost and we were unable to make it. Drove around for over an hour. But not this time, the kids made sure of it by checking in with me and my directions as well as Joshua making sure we left at the right time. They really enjoy the program. The program takes a hiatus for the winter. I plan on getting in touch with the contact person and setting up a program. Hopefully we will have more people attend. My two were the only ones. While this is great as far as getting alllllll the attention, it could ultimately put the program in jeopardy.

I made Stephen come along with me so that when I dropped off the young ones, I would have him to hang out. We went over to PA and had a special treat at Starbucks. It was great having one to one time with my eldest and no distractions. All good for bonding.

Nature club....Not!

For the last week, Abigail has been excited about the nature club that her and Josh have been signed up for. Well, today was the 2nd one and I missed it!! Yup! Thought I knew where I was going and got totally lost. Used the GPS on the phone and it took me to the back of the mountain and the back entrance for the horse-trailers. I had to drive all around the mountain to get to the correct entrance. That took me 25 minutes! (Gotta love Jersey!). When we arrived nobody was there! Abs wanted to stay but there is nothing to do there! That was a very big waste of time.

I apologized and told the kids that we have to trust God that he allowed it to happen for a reason. I think it was due to the fact that Joshua is not feeling 100%. He has a very stuffy nose and was complaining about ear pressure this morning. With it being so cold outside I think the Lord knew best what to do for this family. Abigail agreed when she heard Josh and his cough on the way home.

This morning I did take Josh to the doctor, as mentioned above, about his ear. Thankfully there was only redness. The doctor did give me a prescription, just in case. I do pray that we don't have to use it and that he is able to get this over with very soon! I have been absolutely nuts about disinfecting and making sure we are all washing our hands faithfully. The kids think I am insane but I told them sick kids cannot go visiting next week!!!

Where are we Wednesday

We began our school day at home. Since we have been having trouble with one of our computers again, I called apple to have them help fix. We tried over the phone but no luck. They set up an in-house look in Bridgewater, about 45 minutes away. Took us over an hour. The only positive was the work that was completed inside the car. Spent an hour in the store. Then left there to travel to Titusville, again 45 minutes from there. Again took over an hour. After dropping of the young ones for their nature club, my eldest and I ventured out to find some much needed afternoon caffeine and snack. About 20 minutes away we were in New Hope, PA. Located a Starbucks and enjoyed a nice cup of afternoon tea - for me, a frappucino for him and some pastries. Then it was back to NJ to get the young ones. Then we drove home. What a whirlwind!!!
