I (heart) Fridays!

I love Fridays... there is something about getting done with work & knowing that you can stay up late and sleep in the next morning. Everyone in my house loves Fridays. Luke loves it because Fridays mean it's the weekend and he can watch movies. He usually watches a movie Friday night (which he is doing right now - Ice Age, we've seen it a lot) and usually one Saturday night after a day of playing, then one Sunday afternoon. Erik loves Fridays for the same reason... not that Fridays mean that he can watch movies, just the fact there will be two days off without having to get up and go to work.

Well, today was Luke's last day at Academy of Learning (his old day care). When I got there to pick him up he helped me gather up his clothes and papers. He was excited, sad to not be able to see his friends, but excited to start a new school. In fact after we gathered up his stuff he said to me... are you dropping me off at my new school now? Needless to say he was upset when I told him it was Friday and he wouldn't start his new school until Monday. It was sad this morning when we left the house knowing that that was our last day of riding to Butler together. For the past 3 1/2 years he's been with me everytime I went to work. It will be nice when the bad weather comes, I will drive 5 minutes to drop him off and then only have to worry about myself if something were to happen. It will also be nice to actually get home before 6-6:30pm each night. I'm planning on Erik helping me out a lot to pick Luke up & I think Erik is looking forward to it too. It will just be more of a convenience for all of us. So, starting Monday it is a new adventure for Luke & I for one am very excited for him!

For his last day of school Erik and I wanted to do something special, since a big chapter out of Luke's life was ending. So, we decided that he needed a party of sort and like most day cares you have to supply store bought cupcakes, cakes, etc. So, we went last night to find some cupcakes, but they were out, so Luke picked one of those big chocolate cookies with icing on it. On the way home tonight I asked him how the cookie was and he said that he ate the icing off with his finger. Then he said while crinkling his nose... "It tasted like play-doh." Just the way he said it was really funny.

Not much is happening tonight, like I said, Luke is watching Ice Age while I update my blog. Erik is working on the server (so I don't delete any more pictures) & I am going to look thru some magazines and set up my digital picture frame when I'm done here. Tonight was a non work-out night... I decided for me to stick to this working out that I would take the weekends off, it's the best thing for me to keep working out.

Hope you all had a great Friday! Until tomorrow...
