Mom's got a part-time job

Next week, I'll be starting a part time job as a Nursing Assistant at a 44 resident assisted living facility right here in White Bear Lake. I'll work a couple 4pm to 9pm shifts during the week and 2 shifts every other weekend. This new work schedule will require some adjustments for Dad and the kids, as they will be on their own for dinner and bedtime while I'm working. Crock Pot suppers, here we come!

This week has been busy with Halloween preparations. Ethan's Wall-E robot costume is shaping up and we should finish up the body part (cardboard box painted with computer circuits/parts) this weekend. Mary Kate's costume was easy...she picked out an Elmo costume at Target. All I've got to do is convince her to wear pants and a shirt with for outside trick or treating. She insists on taking off all her clothes before she puts it on.

And we took a trip to the doctor's this morning to make sure the colds both kids came down with earlier in the week aren't anything serious. Despite a horrible sounding cough and sore throats, they are OK.
