Saturday

We were working on projects around the house of Saturday. D put up a new shelf up in the pantry which gave us a little more room and we are now able to actually walk in and find what we need. I had been wanting him to check to see what had to be done in order to get rid of the wood paneling, and Saturday he finally got around to it. Once he realized that the drywall was already there, it didn't take him long to have it down. Now the question is.....what color to paint????

First Day of School

It's time to get back to school! I had been feeling a little teary about the whole situation, but we were late enough the first day, that I didn't have time to get emotional. Luckily, everyone got to class before the tardy bell...and I didn't get in an accident (it was a MAD house). The girls met their teachers on Tuesday. Both teacher seem really nice, and MJ and NM were excited to be in their classes. They rode the bus home and were SUPER hot and sweaty by the time they got off, but thought it was a great adventure. MN has done ok without them so far, but around lunch time, she starts asking if it's time to go get them.

Last Fling of Summer!

The girls have worked really hard this summer (when we've been home...) on their piano, reading, math, and phonograms. As a "reward" we took them to Sea Life Arizona at Arizona Mills. It was a lot of fun. They had sharks, sting rays, sea horses, and any other kind of fish you can think of. Also, there was a tide pool area were we got to touch star fish, anemones, hermit crabs, and other interesting creatures. It was a lot of fun.
