Today, I registered Jake for kindergarten. It was a pretty painless process; I just had to fill out a bunch of forms. We also have forms his doctor and dentist need to fill out. Since he has to go to both places in May, it’s no big deal. We also have to return to the school in May for some sort of testing and that’s it–he’ll be school-bound in the fall. I can hardly wait because we will be able to eliminate our daycare payment for the months he is in school and that’s pretty significant.
I took the day off for a number of reasons–one being the kindergarten registration process, another being that it’s Brian’s birthday, and lastly, I was due for a day off. This morning, while Jake was at his preschool class, I started preparing Brian’s birthday feast. He wanted club sandwiches, ruffled potato chips, and pickles. Sounds like the last supper for someone on death row, eh? Or maybe someone who really likes eating at diners.
I thought this was an odd thing to request for a birthday dinner, but Brian’s argument was that it was hard to come up with an idea since we eat well every day. So instead, he opted for something that he was hungry for and that I don’t make that often. Makes sense, I guess. He’s kind of like Joey when it comes to sandwiches. The club sandwiches I like to make are a double-decker chicken salad/blt combo (and quite yummy at that). I prepared the chicken salad this morning to get the hard part out of the road. For dessert, I’m preparing something called “Chocolate Decadence”. When you have the words chocolate and decadence in the title, much like Smuckers, it has to be good.
