Carlee has had quite a time adjusting to our new schedule since the school year started this week. I never really noticed how attached she is to her “Bubba” until he went away for Kindergarten. These pics represent a very common occurrence during lunch/after we pick him up from school.
I always wanted an older brother. I’m so glad my girls have one.

Kevin and I had a date tonight. He took this of me when we were eating at Square One.

Kennedy wanted to wear some of my make-up this morning. I think here she has a little powder and some lip gloss, maybe some eye shadow that also doubled as blush.
She does her own make-up. At least for now.

Colby’s first day of Kindergarten.
Oh my he’s so grown up.
He had a fantastic first day and can’t wait to go back.

View from Crystal Beach, Texas.
[I never can take just one sunset picture, especially on the beach.]

I am so thankful we got to go to the beach for my birthday weekend. The kids, Kevin & I joined my parents and my sisters for a few days. We hadn’t been all summer, and when we left we had already planned our next trip. To say “we had so much fun” would be such a trite expression, but it’s completely true. Although I couldn’t get my foot wet [so I didn't get to go swimming], I did put a big garbage bag over my foot so I could walk to the beach and hang out to read a book. Beach, book, seafood & family… it doesn’t get much better than that.
So, this is a pic Kevin took from his NEW iPhone4. I got to blow out a pillar candle. [rather, my beautiful children helped me blow it out] :) Then we had homemade ice cream and brownies for my birthday treat. YUM.
I think I finally “get” that birthdays and special occasions are more about Who and How-Often you spend them… not the What and How-Much.

I managed to hobble around Walgreens today and spent $11.06 on these items and have $5 RR left over.
1 12-pack Cottonelle (not pictured)
2 Colgate 360 power toothbrushes
2 boxes gallon Ziplocs
2 boxes quart Ziplocs
1 pkg Walgreens Gummy Bears
1 bottle BioTrue contact solution
2 boxes Benadryl allergy
Total value = $47.90
I am seriously addicted to saving money.

I had surgery on my left foot today. Kevin said I was pretty hilarious while I was under anesthesia. After surgery I kept asking these questions:
- “Can I see my foot?” [And when I saw it I said, "Ohhh, it's a foot!"]
- “What time is it?”
- “Did you [Kevin] get to eat breakfast?”
- “Did you text my mom?”
- “Can I have a drink of water?”
- “Aren’t you the nurse who was there for Colby’s surgery?”
[Okay - the last one.. this was the very last thought before I went into surgery, so apparently my subconscious wanted me to remember this - she WAS the nurse who helped us out when Colby broke his arm in October.]
So apparently I asked these questions a Lot. Over. And Over. and Over.
And, here’s my foot con bandage, sans boot. [That will be for another day.]

Today when we all got in the elevator, I thought we were going to be stuck.. the kids fought over who got to push the button, so when I lifted Kennedy up to push the button, she refused to push the correct one. Then the elevator shifted uneasily and I started praying… I pushed the button to go down and the elevator shifted again but in the direction of down. Thankfully. Makes me question bringing the stroller again.

This picture shows Kennedy singing into a shower head in the middle of HEB. I can’t decide what’s more cute – her singing into a shower head and thinking it was a microphone, or her singing “Itsy Bitsy Spider”.
