We had a snow day last Thursday so the daycare was closed that day. Before Treven went to work, we got all out snow clothes on and went out to a field behind our neighborhood. We had snowball fights, built a snowman, and made snow angels. The girls loved it! Melia was running all over the field then stopped and said, "Mom this is really tiring!" :) Then McKenzie got too cold so she wanted to go back inside so Treven let the girls kick down and stomp on the snowman we built. At least I got a picture before they did it. The majority of the snow melted by the afternoon. But we had so much fun in it in the morning.

I handed in my two weeks notice for the daycare. My last day in February 28th. I have loved this job and the kids that Ihave been able to teach. It just has come to the point where McKenzie is in my class and I have to pay to watch my own child. The childcare cost is like half of my paycheck as well. The work environment was getting worse and I would come home angry about things everyday. I decided to not wait until the end of March to quit. Treven said it is not worth the extra month of childcare and the headache of the month of work. Also the state licenser in coming in March for the daycare and I don't care to be there for all that stress. I feel so great about this decision. I will have more time at home with the girls and for myself.

Therefore, I am starting a new adventure in the job field. My friend Amy and I are opening a preschool on March 1st. It is called Tiny Peas Preschool. We are so excited! We have two classes, one is Monday/Wednesday and one is Tuesday/Thursday, that go from 9 am to 1 pm. We want no more than 10 kids per class so 20 kids total. We have 7 spots filled already, but some of those aren't starting until the end of March. We are starting it at an odd time for a preschool but we figure it helps us to get all the kinks and everything worked out before the next school year begins. We are a year round preschool though so we will have summer programs and that seems to be an advantage to our business.

Treven is preparing to start the interview process for manager at Dick's Sporting Goods. This would be a great blessing for our family. Please keep him in your prayers as he is going for this. He is working full time and going to school full time and is pretty much exhausted at the end of the day. He has half of spring semester left and then hopes that summer semester will be his last! We have a meeting with his counselor/adviser to make sure everything is going the way it should. (fingers crossed).

The girls are great and they are excited for the new preschool and for mom to be home more! Especially Melia. Well that is pretty much our life right now, there is the update. :)
