I know .. I know..
Its an overused phrase.. time flies.. blah blah blah.
But seriously! This was the FASTEST Summer by far.
We had a good one. Best one yet.
Stress free, waking up with my kiddos, no rat race, dh home at 2:30. Nice. *sunglass smiley*
My baby Johnny Boy has started Kinder this week. That went smoothly. He was ready. Didn't even want me to walk him in the first day. ( boo for me, good for him) I let him ride the bus the first day, as he wanted. Of course I had to tell myself not to make it about ME and encourage his confidence and independance. So anyway. Yeah. He's doing fine. We are very proud of him. He never fails to impress us. That kid. If you only knew him. ;)
Mallory, on the other hand, isn't doing to well. She misses her "best friend" (brother) while he's at school. Shes so use to being with him. They have spent everyday of their little lives together, and so thats understandable.
So to get her mind off things, I did what any shopaholic mom would do. We went shopping. (uh, oh.. I'm creating a monster.)

Isn't she the cutest little person ever?
She loves her Baby Ernie (gag) and wants to take it everywhere-- with the baby carrier of course. She wanted to put Ernie in the bag, LOL!
Mallory is in a headband phase. She wants to wear them 24/7 and on this day we didnt have one to match, so she didnt want ANYTHING in her hair. In this heat? Woooooooo!Whatever kid. So much for buying matchy curly loops from here on out. *pouts*
She had $5 from her Grampy, so I took her to spend it. She bought a lip gloss keychain from the Target dollar spot, a small Bath and Bodyworks lotion, and two baby bottle pops candy- one for her and one for her brother.
Dh and I are doing well. Just enjoying each other, our kids, our church and moving forward. Learning to live on one income has proven to be a challenge, but we're making it! All of the sacrifices we have made are well worth it. I'm a firm believer in tithing, and trust that God will meet our needs. God is opening doors and pouring out his blessings. Boy do I have a good testimony, but I'll save that juicy for another day. ;)
We are going camping this weekend.. primative tent camping....on the beach... as in no electric or water. Yes, me-Little Miss Cant Take the Heat or I Get Pissy. I'm putting my reservations aside (literally) and making myself become outdoorsy, darn it! I have to. I dont want to be a boring uptight mom! So, I'm stepping up to the plate. Dh is shocked I even suggested it. I've come a long way baby. :) I'll keep you posted on my adventure. I just keep telling myself that smores will be involed and that seems to keep my interest.
ok.. so hows that for an update Kimberly? ;)
I think I know why I dont update here too often. NO smileys- and we all know how much I abuse those things. *blush smiley* <----see? *rolls eyes*
