As the later August weeks go by, I can't believe how quick school is coming upon us. The kids are excited, I am a little less (love them being around).
Baby time seems to be moving more quickly and that is good :) 29 weeks preggo as of this week. She is really kicking up a storm in there and I have also been getting some heartburn every night...bring on the Tums!!
Kids made their school trip to the dentist. Cleanings and a few cavities filled and they are ready to go! Greg decided to do both sides of his mouth in one day. He couldn't speak for a while. Now we know why they ask you to come 2 seperate times for each side of the mouth ;)
Lost and Found
Found: Reiner's missing Nintendo DS XL, found after cleaning out his underwear drawer??
Newbies of the week!
Flip or Flop? Watched a new show on HGTV called Flip or Flop? This was a show where the buyers buy an unseen house at an auction and then have to go in and make repairs afterward and hope to end up ahead or in the red.
Detailed Nail Polish. I bought Kaplyn a ton of detailed brush nail polishes for her sleepover and have decided to snag some. I painted my nails beige with purple penstripes on Sunday...turned out nice!!
Had to find matching clothing for the whole week...I am bad about the nails not being perfectly matched with the outfit. May do a different design every week :)
More week....
Aren't Friends the Greatest?!!! My friend Diana called me up and got me over to her house to grab up some yummy fresh picked tomatoes and peppers. We made BLT's and homemade salsa with them. What a great gift!!
Woot! I had a free day this week!!
Wednesday had absolutely no band, soccer or cheer!! Greg and I decided to enjoy some coupon shopping together. I love how we both get just as excited as the other when we save money! This week our bill went from $239 to $29 after sales, coupons and fuel perks. Got a ton of boxes of cereal to stock the pantry with. Pretty awesome!! We also stopped at Walmart on the way home to find Cameron some shoes to temporarily use for band until we can get him his glide steps. While there, we found a pair of soccer cleats for Reiner marked down to $7. Went to buy and they came up only $3!!! What a great day of deals!!! Cameron had his performance at the Washington County Fair. He says it went well :)
The pool has been cleaned and is coming along great! Should be ready for the Genin's party :)
Greg and the kids have been planning my birthday week. Can't wait to see what they each come up with daily!
!!! Broken!!!
Blender. After 18 years of making thick milkshakes, our blender finally bit the dust! Looks like we have our first item to write down on our Christmas list this year...
Strand of White Lights. I hang strands of white lights all around the fencing in the pool area during the summer. One of my kids must have thought they would help in pruning some hedges and snipped one of the strands. I did not figure it out until I plugged in the lights and then began shaking the cord trying to figure out why it wasn't working and nearly electricuted myself!
Dislikes :(
Raisin Bran Crunch Cereal...we had coupons for this cereal. I have found that I don't really care for it the way I do regular Raisin Bran. The granola in it makes the cereal way too sweet in certain areas. Will still buy if I have a coupon as the kids will definitely eat it, but I prefer the old fashioned version :)
On with the week....
Genin had his 13th Birthday Sleepover this weekend. 6 total including Genin for football, pizza, pool time, hot tub, video games, cookie cake, capture the flag and more! He loves time with the boys. Very rarely do you have enough for a football team :) Greg cut a football field (about half the size of a regular football field) in our side yard. Turned out great and the kids had a great time!
Honey bun strips and mini muffins for breakfast...don't get on me, I have to stay up late with these caffeine filled boys ;)
I had a Tastefully Simple party on Sunday with lots of my favorite dips, cheese balls and such. Keeping the party open for a week if anyone wants to order ;)
Cameron's band picnic was on Friday. This is the first time I have been to it. Went by myself (Greg had to work and the kids stayed with Genin) Enjoyed some nice convo with my friends Jill and Dana while we ate. Nice picnic food and got to the watch the show they had been working on all week. Then, the family members were allowed to walk the formations. Really cool!! Being I was a majorette from my first year on in Marching Band, I never had the opportunity to walk a formation, just did our dance line up and routines. A new experience for me and really neat to do with my son :)
...Final Thought for the Week...
Be sure to take time to stop and smell the roses...or a fresh tomato if you have a great friend who shares :)
