Fall is here

Fall has arrived and I think winter was trying to make an appearance this weekend. We had a patch of hail come out of no where on Saturday and Mr. T exclaimed it was snowing. With the arrival of fall comes another busy time in the Van Daele household. Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights seem to be the most hectic. Both nights you can find us eating close to 5 so Ray can run out the door and to class by 6 on Tuesday nights. Wednesday nights it's me and the kidlets running out the door to make it to Team KID at church. They're both hectic nights but definitely worth it. Mr. T is especially liking the idea of being old enough to hang out with the "big" kids at Team KID.

Miss G is doing especially well at school. I had her parent-teacher conferences last week and was once again reassured she's doing GREAT and right on track. As some of you know, last year I struggled to get her on the bus in the morning. She's the last one on the bus and not a fan of having lots of pairs of eyes starring at her as she gets on. This year I am happy to say we haven't had a problem. Thank goodness!

First Day of School

Ray is really busy at work. As of last week they had 5 new homes they are installing in. Today they are installing a new furnace and air conditioning in an existing home. There have been a few weeks the only times the kids get to see him is to brush their teeth at night and then the weekend. This winter they are doing another huge house (5500+ square foot) in Angola which means many late nights or even the possibility of spending nights in hotels. Friday his boss told him to take the day off to relax. The kiddos headed to grandma and grandpa's for a play-date and sleep-over and he and I headed to Chicago for the day. We hit up the Ikea store while we were there. It was the first time there but I see many trips in the future.

I've been busy at home trying to keep Mr. T under control as well as the dust bunnies and dog hair. Mr. T is keeping me quite busy. The house is still for sale. We had a lot of interest in the beginning but not much here lately. We're thinking of meeting with another realtor in the near future to see if we can move this process along a little faster.

He's full of potatoes

Now Aunt Carrie since you've been begging for a blog update, you must now come to my house and remove all of the stickers that Mr. T has strategically position around the basement in the time it has taken me to type this. I'll be waiting. :)
