Exam, Movie, and some Good News!

We have some great news to share this week! Guy was offered the engineering position!! We finally heard back from them last week and he accepted the offer shortly after. He will soon be moving to the day shift but "soon" is a relative word ;) They're talking some time in November the switch will take place. Guy has been on nights for 5 years, I can't believe the switch is finally going to happen! I am more than ready.

On Saturday I had some henna to do, so a friend from church watched Nico. She took Nico and her 3 kids to the Sensory Friendly Movie, they were playing Shaun the Sheep!! Nico had a lot of fun.

On Monday I had my huge aromatherapy exam. It will be 6 weeks before I hear anything about it, but I'm pretty sure I passed! Nico got to spend the morning with Papa while I was at the exam. They did legos and then walked to the park for a bit. I finished the test sooner than I thought I would, so I was back shortly after they ate lunch. Thanks for watching Nico, Papa! :)

Nico officially asked to switch to creamy peanut butter. So Guy bought some creamy peanut butter for the first time since we were married. Guy is wondering if Nico will ever want to switch back to crunchy, like Guy did when he was younger. We will see! I offered to buy them each their own kind of peanut butter but Guy said he preferred not to. He will just endure! ;)

Nico had a lockdown drill at school yesterday. He told me about it as soon as I picked him up. Mommy! he said. When a guy comes in, you turn off the lights and close the door and you get in a line and you are really quiet and then you go outside (they have a door to the outside from their room).

Last night while he was in bed not going to sleep, he said "Mommy I don't want to go to school!" I asked him how come and he said "I don't want a lock down!" it turns out he doesn't like the loud noise of a possible fire drill. He doesn't like those. He asked me over and over if there was going to be a loud noise at school and I kept telling him I didn't know, but that the loud noise was good because it tells you there's an emergency. The conversation was getting nowhere and around in circles we went, so I told him we'd talk about it in the morning.

On the way to school today he asked me if they were going to do a fire drill and I said I didn't know, and that was that.

Hearing about lock down drills reminds me to pray for his school and for his safety. What a good reminder! The principal also sent an email out that day to tell all the parents they did lock down drills.

I forgot to post some pictures from last week when we climbed the Camel's Back Hill! We did it on a whim and it was so much fun.
