5 Weeks Till School Starts!!!!!!

Did you answer my poll question?  Honestly, I am really enjoying our summer and my 2 children.   I love for them to be home and not have a major schedule but I love "Back to School" shopping.  Even though Sweetie wears uniforms, there is still accessories to buy to bling up the drab uniform (funky socks, jewelry, hair accessories, bling undershirts, ect.).  Plus, Cutie is starting preschool 2 days a week, so she needs to get geared up too!  To my dismay, I am not finding uniforms anywhere yet so I am stalled.  Instead I went to Michael's and bought a trunk load of crafts to lessen my insanity over the next 5 weeks.  Most days we are busy going here and there but some days seem to drag on and on.  There is nothing worse than a bored child.  So now I am stocked full of kids crafts.  Today we got out the paints and made cards.  I even joined in the fun and started making a card for my hunky husband with water colors using my fingers.  Sweetie said, "Mom, you look like a kid." I'll take that as a compliment, thanks to Arbonne. :)  

We then went to the Home Depot to find some air filters for the A/C.   As we were walking in Sweetie said, "Mom, is this a man store?" I said yes while laughing but inside I was reminding myself to pretend like I know what I am doing.  By the way, I did find the air filters and installed them myself, with Cutie's help.

Then we went to Chili's with my parents.  Life has been really different lately.  My family has been in a whirlwind since my uncle died at the beginning of June.  Everyone has been so busy that we hardly have spent good time together.  So today was nice and much needed.  Tonight we are going over to Andy's Mom's for birthday parties.  He is programming the Wii to include everyone that will be there, it should be fun!    

A recap from Saturday: To be honest, Saturdays stink! (Andy is gone most of the day).  I used to be frustrated because everyone else's husband is home having fun, family time and I am at home alone!  Believe me, I did not plan that in my Barbie's life but reality stinks and we have to just deal with it, right?  But I do love Saturday nights!!  The girls and I  go to church at 4pm to work in the 3's class and then go to the 6:15 service.  This week the girls went to service with me, they love to hear daddy sing.  Cutie said, "Mom, why is daddy up there?  I don't like all those people looking at daddy."  After service we ate at the church and hung out with friends then came home and put the kids down.  Andy and I always debrief about the service, I love to hear about funny behind the scene stories.  He then wanted to watch MAN tv, some shoot 'em up show and I was not in the mood so I went in the guest room to watch House Hunters.  When I came back in our room, he was watching "What Women Want".  I forgot how much I love that movie.  It is the best!  I love that the characters work for a marketing firm.  Andy said, "Honey, you could work for a company like that , you'd be unbelievable!" I love it when my husband gives me compliments that I don't deserve!  I think it was after that comment that we turned the tv off and... that is the end of my blog!
