Wow!  This last week really flew by!  Grannylou was here visiting and we were busy most of the time!  We bought Grace a new bed and got furniture from David's grandmother.  I'm hoping to repaint it but of course, like everything else it must wait until school is over.  Only 3 more weeks!  I have 5 more assignments, 6 more discussions questions, 3 more summaries, and 12 responses to classmates.  Sounds like a lot but I'm counting down now! 

We had a few days that were really cool last week and we were able to open the windows and enjoy fresh air.  Right now I'm sitting with the windows open enjoying the fresh air before it gets too hot and I have to turn on the air.  One thing about living here is the {mostly} cool evenings and mornings.


We only have 3 weeks until Andrew starts school.  FIRST GRADE!!!!!!!  I can't believe it!  Time just flies by.  We found him a backpack.  His only request was that he wanted a backpack with a picture on it.  We looked at several and he settled on one with Mario catching a baseball from the Mario Slugger game.  Funny that Mario is still around.  He could change his mind when we go shopping but when we bought his we also got a free lunch box which he let Grace have since he got one for his birthday.  If he wants a different backpack then he has to buy it with his birthday money.  

Thankfully he didn't grow too much this year and I only have to buy a few uniform shirts.  A few got ruined last year and some are too small but most of his shorts fit and I got an awesome deal on some shoes for him the other day.

Well, it's back to school work and cleaning and supervising my children today!!!!  

I'll leave you with a picture of me with my sweet girl.
