New School Year

Now that I have free time, I have been getting to all the things that I did not get to during the summer. We went to meet the teacher night a week ago, it was a mad house as usual. Weird that they had us fill out the paper work there and did not send it home, so we were there longer than expected. I think now it is a family tradition to take the kids to school on the first day. Anyway, we got there the first day and we had to walk about 1/2 mile, because every other person had the same thought! LOL Well, we got a picture with Justin and his teacher Mrs. Pickens. then got an after shot after he got off the bus in the afternoon. He says so far school is fine.

Breaking Dawn

I went to bed at 1:30 am this morning, anyone have a guess??? I did not buy the book, but my neighbor bought and lent it to me. I thought the book was great, but definitly not what I expected. Just want to let anyone know out there, that this is a really good series of vampire books, it is not your ordinary vampire.

Emilie's #4

I have been sick this week, so things are getting done later than expected. Anyway, we celebrated Emilie's birthday last Saturday. We had a magical princess theme, it was so much fun. The birthday party was at home and princess Emilie wore the ariel dress that grandma bought her and we added a crown, she was so pretty and happy! There were 12 children invited and about half showed up which seemed to be just about perfect. Heather made a most beautiful castle cake with pink and purple frosting, thanks so much Heather it was perfect! I made princess bean bags for two of the games and a princess pillow for Emilie to sit on and open presents. One game I had, was fishing for hearts. I painted to paint stir sticks and tied yarn on them, added magnets. I used the library die cuts to make big hearts and put the prizes on them and added paper clips. They got to pick out 2 hears each and whatever it said on the hearts is what they got. They had a great time doing it. We also played hot pumpkin (hot potato) and had a bean bag toss.Well, the next day was her actual birthday, so we let her pick what she wanted to do. She said I want to go on a merry go round. So we went to the Frisco mall. We all went on the Merry go round and then went to Dave N Busters.

Catching Up

At first, this summer has felt like it went as slow as molassas, now it feels like it went in one big whoosh! Well, I know I have not posted in a bit, so here is a short catch up one. The last two weeks, I made a princess pillow, princess bean bags, heart fishing game, filled goody bags, and what is the one thing I have not done????? I have not had a chance to clean much. The boys (Eric & Justin) wanted me to teach them how to play chess, the doorbell keeps going off, my phone won't stop ringing, and I am really tired! I just can't seem to catch up. A slow realization occurs to me.....I have been planning Emilie's b-day party for 3 weeks and it will be over in just 2 hours! Go figure. She is really going to love this party and I am glad because my little girl is really worth it! I will post more this weekend or early next week, have a good rest of the week.

YEAH!

I just have to say that I am so proud of myself. I just got confermation that my smaller college loan is officially paid off completly! I wrote a check and for some odd reason they applied it to both loans, even tho it was noted not to do that. I had to call them and have them change that and they said that it will take a few days to show the changes, but that it will be paid off. Aaron and I are slowly on our way to getting some of these bills paid off. Slowly but surely.
