So here is a peek into our house this week...

Monday. Since it was a holiday, the schools were closed and I had recess from school. It was set to be a 'Crazy Craft' day. I had gone into work on Sunday after church to cover all the tables with newspaper and gathered paint supplies from the art room and transported them to the Hub. Sunday night I had made a big batch of home made air dry clay. Anyway, Monday. I went to work early in the morning and waited for the children to arrive. We had 3 children come, when normally we have 30. Most parents had the day off too. I am not used to having the majority of the population having a day off on MLK Jr. day. It was disappointing. I was going to cancel the day and send the kids home, since we were going to loose money staffing the Hub, but my boss said it was fine to be at a loss for the day. I ended up having one staff come in and we brought the kids to main street shopping, then walked to get ice cream, and took a bus back to the Hub. That night Eric switched oil on both the vehicles and fixed the starter and came home around 10 pm after I had got Bridger down for the night.

Tuesday. Bridger and I left first thing in the morning and drove down to Hailey for a Bible study at our church. It went from 9-12 and then I drove him back up to Ketchum quickly and dropped him off at daycare. I went home quick to change and rushed back to Hailey for work. We had a nice quite evening.

Wednesday. A big day for everyone. Bridger and I completely cleaned the house in the morning. Eric had a big board meeting, a meeting in Hailey, and then went and got Bridger from Day care in Ketchum. We had supper together and then Eric went back to Hailey for a PTA meeting. He came home after 9 and after Bridger had gone to bed.

Thursday. This morning I am working at home. We were going to go to 'indoor gym' for Bridger at the BCRD, but Bridger told me he would rather take a nap. So he is napping and I was working on a bunch of different projects I have going on and decided to take a break to blog. We have a lot of people ask what our week looks like and this is about it.

During the weekend we like to have fun as a family. Next weekend Eric and I are volunteering at the Galena Benefit at Galena lodge. It is a really formal occasion and we are going to be taking care of the silent auction. That day we are also planning to go skiing at Baldy.


This past week I have started a bunch of new projects. We received a proposal from an employee at the middle school to start up an after school program for middle schoolers next school year. I need to decide how BCRD, myself, and our staff would be willing to be involved in this. The Fitworks area at BCRD is wanting to have a time on Tue/ Thurs to offer child care for children 0-5. I am putting things together to help my boss make a proposal to the Director of BCRD. The major project is Summer camp. I need to get some things nailed down by mid February. I am officially the Camp Director for the summer and it is a big undertaking. There will be 15-20 staff, 100+ kids everyday, major activities (river rafting, cave adventures, pump park, etc), a full production of Aladdin at the end of the summer, and I have never done this before. We need to have everything very thought out by the end of March as we will be having an open house for sign up.

The other major project started on Sunday. Our new church is planning to open a day care and has asked me to be a consultant as they go through the process of licensing and setting up the program. They had asked if I would be interested in employment with them, but at this point I am so committed to other things, I told them I would love to help in every way I can, but I don't want to commit to working there.

Eric is busy with lots of meetings with the public regarding the Woodside project. There is a lot of people really positive about the project, but the sidewalks are going to be put on land that many homeowner's consider 'their yard' even though it has always been owned by the city, and there is opposition in the respect.

Since Eric is getting busy, he is taking on less bus driving. Come spring he will be back to full time in the projects. It seems like he will be able to get 20-25 hours for the projects this summer, so we are beginning to think about if Eric will look for a second job at a bike shop like Power House or if we will keep Bridger in daycare part time and Eric stay home with Bridger 1/2 the day.

So, that is our week and a little window into our lives.
