Saved by Saved By The Bell

Thank heaven for SBB reruns! The big kids are sucked in giving me a relief from the fighting and referee job. I should be packing and getting ready. I'm excited to kiss my niecey niece's sweet cheeks today!!! I joined a local library so I was able to check out a book I've been wanting to read and the ipod is charged, ahhhhh, just a few hours of quiet and mama free time! All the aside, I will for sure miss my babes, but it's good for them to have some solo daddy time. We have still been in mild temperatures and that's a huge relief for us. If we can get through the end of the school year just getting a little warmer that'd be awesome. The in and out of drop off and pick up in the heat, ugh, not so fun. Both kids will be at Brushy Creek Elem next year. It'll be strange to have just one girl 3 hours a day, I am daydreaming of all the things I will get done. Anyway, off to pack-hopefully ;)

What a Difference a Week Makes

Wow, what a tragic week our country has endured. It goes without saying that all of our hearts mourn and ache with the families of fallen heroes and innocent lives cut short. While I don't want to belittle the tragedies and place my life's "events" as more significant, I do want to share the positives I'm focusing on as to not be overwhelmed with the loss and devastation in Boston and West. I was excited to see some of the marathon in Paris that my dear friend ran just a few weeks ago on tv last night. We are looking forward to going to the San Antonio zoo tomorrow and in one week I will be holding baby Charlie-yay! So in case I miss next week you'll know I'll blissfully be cozying up to my niece and hopefully giving my sister and husband a little bit of time to sleep, talk a walk together, eat together, whatever they need. Can't wait!

Five Minute Friday, A Few Hours Late

It was a busy week. I had some Cotton Candy to finish, work in Rylan's classroom, cake walk baking, carnival volunteering, and all the normal stuff. I signed up to do a fun 5k in August with a couple girlfriends called Run or Dye, while I am freaking out about "running" in August, it doesn't sound like a very competitive event and one of the girls will be just a couple weeks shy of having her third baby, if she can do it I have very little to whine about :) I'm only two weeks away from meeting niece, hooray! Rylan has about six weeks left of school and we have lots of fun plans on our agenda before it gets hot! We just got his kindergarten packet so I'm hoping that means his transfer went through. Blake and Elle are having fun with a little slide we got at a yard sale last weekend for $5 while he is at school and lots of fun girl time. Not a lot going on today, after a busy week it's a catch up and relax day. The kids had so much fun at the carnival last night and stayed up a little later than their normal 6:30 bedtime, so I'm predicting some grumpy faces today, faces I love to kiss none the less.

Five Minute Saturday

Well, we have finally finished all of our painting and just have a little touch up in a couple rooms. We were supposed to go camping tonight but I'm a little nervous about sleeping outside with the terrible allergies I have had. We will either brave it next weekend or the following weekend. I took the girls garage saling this morning, but no treasures to be found, yet. If I can talk Kenny into going there are a couple big neighborhood sales going on I'd like to at least drive by. Elle wants a Hello Kitty guitar, found one on craigslist for $250! I don't think so baby doll. Welp, that's about it.
