German finished school on Friday and he just left to start work full-time this week. I am so proud of him. We will all move up to Mansfield, TX (about 30 mins south of his job in Arlington) on Jan 9th and start a new era of our lives with NO SCHOOL. It has been a difficult and long journey, but I knew he could do it. I knew once he got his foot in the door, he would be offered a job. He works so hard and is so loyal and reliable and gives his very best.
I have set new goals for myself since he will be gone working now M-F from 8-6pm and why wait until the New Year??? I will miss having him so close by and at home so often during the day. I have to step up my game alot and I need the girls to help me out. I am making a new schedule for all of us, a routine of studying and learning and playing and cleaning and organizing. I want helping out to be fun and enjoyable, so that they feel like part of a team. I want it to just become good habits or second nature to them, not something I have to nag and remind them about each day. I only have a year and 8 months left with them here at home all day and then they are off to school and then gone forever. I got a laminator for Christmas and I am so excited to use it! Now that German has an office at work, I get to make the home office my own work space. We also got Adobe photoshop and illustrator, so I get to play and design and hopefully, develop/attain some talent. I'm excited.
Any ideas or website links for preschool projects, organization ideas, crafts. etc would be great!

I will miss you when you leave. If you have any ideas on how to get the kids to enjoy helping out around the house, let me know... :) And congrats to German!
YEA! I'm so excited for you guys! We will have to get together sometime. Have you moved in yet?
I've just been absorbing blog that's new-ish to me:

Love it. It's more centered on structured and productive play, but there is at least one good article on rhythm, and another on cleaning with littles. She just did a series on best of 2011, and I loved that. Anyhow, I feel like a commercial. Congrats, and I'll see you soon.
You are an amazing woman!! I am so happy for you and your family! You are right---it has been a long journey but you guys are amazing. Can't wait to see your updates! Happy New Year!
