They Came!!

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Two posts below–I talked about my purchases for my Nativity Scene. Well, I purchased three different items from three different people. I never buy anything on eBay unless the seller takes Paypal. The reason…I’m terrible at getting things mailed. So I was terribly mad at myself when I noticed that my [...]

Willow Tree Nativity Set!!

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Speaking of Christmas!! Yesterday I purchased my yearly Nativity Scene. Since I now have a mantle I finally got the one I’ve been drooling over for years. It’s by Willow Tree, and it is awesome!
I have a Nativity set for every year that we’ve been married. The one I treasure [...]

Wrapping The Goods!!

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Today we are going on an adventure to find ‘fragile’ cushioning items. I know most people have no problems with this–but we don’t take the newspaper–and generally when we move-I wrap the breakables in my towels and washcloths–kind of a way to pack two things at the same time. However, this time–we are [...]

Friday Is The Day!!

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

Well, Friday is the day! I’m not telling my kids, and sadly–I already told my husband! Honestly–what kind of wife would I be if I didn’t get his input! Too bad his input was … “I don’t want to know when it’s going to happen”– because I told him when it was [...]

Summer Is Gone!!

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

My kids are at their last field trip of this session. As the session ends on Friday–it’s not really a shock! But what is a shock–just one more full session of camp–then a 1 week mini camp–and then school starts! Where did this summer go? Of course, our new school year starts on [...]

Blakelynn Is Camper Of The Week!!

Monday, July 16th, 2007

Just when I really started to worry that by the end of summer camp Blake would be the only one not featured in the Newsletter. But I found out today–that this is her week! Jake was it the first week of camp-Grayson was it last week–and over the weekend they were both giving [...]

What Are We Doing??

Friday, July 13th, 2007

Well, today is the day!! We are putting an offer in to buy the house. We don’t even have a house payment yet–and wouldn’t you know-I’m up at 4 in the morning with a nervous stomach–is this what I have to look forward too?
I remember waking up in the night with a stressed stomach [...]

Harry Potter 5!!

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

Last night at 10:10 pm, my 7 year old son and I saw Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix. There are so many memories tied up in this book–that I was amazed to finally be sitting in the movie. When we moved to Chicago from Phoenix, I was 7 months pregnant with my [...]

Toothless Wonder!!

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

Grayson has been walking around for the past month or so with 4 loose teeth. Yep, he’s that age! He is so opposite of Jake who will sit and work the barely loose tooth out right after he discovers that it’s loose. Root hanging–blood gushing!! Grayson is different. He will leave [...]

Camper Of The Week!!

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

The first week of camp we found out that Jacob had been nominated by his councelor as “Camper of the Week”. Quite an honor!! They put his picture in the newsletter and did a little interview with him. Well, this next Friday–Grayson has been selected as the “Camper of the Week”. I’m [...]
