Well I've been in school for over 2 weeks now, and so far, so good. I'm actually enjoying it. It's nice to be able to use my brain again. The drive to Eau Claire sucks, but at least there is an end in sight. I like all of my classes so far, and I've been able to find time to get my assignments done outside of classtime. It helps that I get extra credit in my Oral/Interpersonal Communications class to go sit in Academic Services and just work on homework or study in between classes. My schedule is pretty nice. I have classes from 8 to 1 on Mondays and Fridays with a 1 hour break in the middle, NO classes on Tuesdays, classes from 8 to 4 on Wednesdays with 3 hours of breaks in between, and just 1 hour of class on Thursdays. It's kind of annoying driving to Eau Claire on Thursdays, but the kids come with me and I drop them off at my friend Laura's house in EC and she watches them while I'm in class. They LOVE it there. She has an indoor pool so they got to go swimming the first week because they had the heat turned on. Thank you Laura for helping me out! The other days the kids go to Angie's house (my regular daycare) and my parents help out and take them usually 1 day a week, so it has been working out okay. There's not too much else to report. Lara is still in dance every Tuesday night, and recital time is coming up quickly, in just a few months. This year the theme for her class is Lollipops. It's so fun to watch the progress of them learning their dances every week, and I think I'll be sad once again when dance is over for the year. I will be excited to not have to chase Ayla up and down the hall every week during class though. : ) Lara goes to Kindergarten Round-up in another month, so that's kind of exciting. I just hope I can take her to the St. Croix Central school district, regardless of where we end up living this summer, since she'll most likely have to get on the bus at Angie's house, which goes to SCC schools, but there's a good chance we'll be living in Baldwin or somewhere else close by. That's one question I'll have to ask I guess! Here are a few pictures...
Here are all of my ridiculously expensive books for school.

Lara painting the Tinkerbell stone that she made up in Siren.
I had to get some pictures of the girls in their vests because they're starting to get too big for them.
