$4.16!?

including tax. Again, probably boring to most of you. So please feel free to skip this uneventful post.

Today's trip (poor kids, some of it was well into nap-time by the time we got home) was much more fun than recent trips - and I haven't even been to Walgreens yet. BTW there's a decent diaper deal going on there. This group is from Staples, CVS, and Target. YEA!

The loot: 2 reams paper, 2 notebooks, 2 folders, 1 6-pk highliters, 1 mini stapler, 2 8-pks pens, 1 box photo paper, 1 2-pk scissors, 2 Finish geltabs 40-ct, 2 Old Spice deoderant, 1 Gillette Fusion razor.

Leftovers

a little mud

we went to the zoo awhile back

and some swimming

Just some strays I felt like putting out there. And I've been trying to get a video
of this laugh she does, but I ended up stringing some pictures together instead.

The Plan

If you haven't heard...our time here in Texas will be cut short. Scott has been chosen as one of seven of his class for an internship with the Colombian Olympic Team. He'll go after boards in September and be done December 1st. The kids and I will go to stay with my parents the end of August. This is such an exciting opportunity for Scott, but we will miss him..and our friends in Texas. After that...who knows? Hopefully a job somewhere, not in Siberia. We'll store our stuff here just in case.

Boat-errific

Our friends, Eric and Laura, invited us for a little R & R last weekend. It was so nice! The kids especially had a blast playing in the water and Xander couldn't get enough of the "boat." Thanks guys, we had a great time! Hmm...no pictures of me, too bad :D Although....it was a gorgeous lake. and gigantic. so of course I got lost. after awhile all the bloody lake houses look the same. it only took about thirty minutes of praying myself back. I know, sometimes I'm not that bright.

she'd eat the peel if I'd let her

Laura is so sweet with the kids, she's going to be a great mom!

...and the ties I made for Father's Day.
They turned out ok, but I'll have to try some more.

Spring Recital 2009

MiaLisa and I held our "Spring Recital" a couple of weeks ago. Everyone played well, we were very proud! It's great to see them show off their talent and hard work.

Fort Worth Water Gardens

A couple of weekends ago, we rode the train into FW to see the Water Gardens. The weather was perfect, and it was all just beautiful even though one of them wasn't turned on. It was a Saturday but we only saw a couple of other people, and it was soo nice we felt like we had the place to ourselves.

Love this! She sure can chow down on a water bottle :D

This is Xander's favorite. I told him the shadow in the water is an alligator coming to bite his hand off.
