Back to School Week

After an awesome summer vacation, we just started back to school on what must have been the hottest day of the year. Next Friday we will cheer on our favorite football team in the first game of the season. I cannot believe we are doing all of these things in this extreme heat! It might be time to rethink this back to school schedule. Shouldn't we still be lounging by the pool.

In the last few weeks my sweet little girl lost her first tooth. Her visit from the toothfairy earned her $5. With that money burning a hole in her pocket, she promptly convinced her Daddy to take her to the local department store. I sometimes question the fashion sense of the buyer this company employs, but it is nice to have a department store in our small town. Armed with five dollars and a daddy that can be charmed by big hazel eyes, my sweetie set out to find something fabulous. When I arrived home on that afternoon, I was almost blinded by the bling-a pink and white stripe top adorned with a heart of silver glitter. This t-shirt was topped with a hot pink sequin vest. I can't believe all this for just -$5. For some reason I can't post pics today, but you can just imagine-we are raising a gypsy. Just wait until you see her outfit for football.

The first week was hectic, but everyone seems to be adjusting. My son just started middle school. He is really excited about taking his elective classes. Let's just say he is a bit of an eager beaver. I apologize to his teachers-he will email you with his newest ideas for anything related to your class. My daughter absolutely loves her class. I am so excited everyone is so excited about learning.

In the past week I have not cooked much more than hotdogs. I promise with a full week ahead tto do some cooking this weekend, but first I plan to enjoy an afternoon at the Pond (we do not swim in the pond).
