The girls and I are plugging right along this week. Eric has been on a mission trip with our youth (he comes home tonight!). We've been trying to stay busy so the girls don't miss him so much. Honestly, his travel schedule is a little grueling right now and wearing us down. My love language is 'quality time', so I'm having to talk myself out of a meltdown.
Monday morning, we met some friends from school to play laser tag. My friend, Cathy is in town (my best friend since 3rd grade!), so we were able to spend a lot of time with her and her two girls Monday night. Spending time with her only makes me wish she lived next door. Her husband is in the military, so she hasn't lived near me for a long time. One day ...
Yesterday the girls and I met my friend, Heather for breakfast. Heather brought goodies for the girls, including this princess tea set you paint yourself.
A tea-set-junkie's dream :)
Heather, she loves it! Again, you did too much!
E is in another play this summer. After debating whether or not to let her do it, we finally gave in and allowed her to. She enjoys it too much to deprive her of it when we have no other commitments. She'll spend every afternoon this week and next practicing and performing. She's in her element.
This picture has nothing to do with that, but thought I should document the silly band phenomenon. Why, oh why, didn't I think of something like this? Geez.
Anyway ...I finally chose a bible study for this fall for our women's group at church. Man, I agonized over that for months. I bought atleast 5 trying to decide which one to do. I now have perfect peace about it and can't wait to get started. I picked up the books/DVDs yesterday and am trying to talk myself out of grabbing one of the books and starting it.
Then, I remember I'm in the middle of this one right now and it's too great to turn my back on.
Summer will be over before we know it. I am SO NOT READY for it to end. Maybe I could do without the scorching hot weather and the 100% humidity, but school ? .... that makes me want to cry. While eating at Cracker Barrel this morning and seeing all the fall decor, I was tempted to wish it here quicker. Then, I thought of 5:30 a.m. and homework and projects and thought better of it.
Summer, please stay awhile longer.

I love reading your blog. I check it out all the time hoping for new posts!
I hope you don’t mind --- I’ve been telling all my friends about your blog.
I printed 100 free business cards with my 10 favorite websites (yours was #1!!) and handed them out at our last Mommy Meet-up.
It made me wonder if you had ever done that for yourself? Do you ever meet anyone at a coffeeshop or a playground and start talking about blogging? Maybe you could print up some cards to hand out. Just an idea!
In return for inspiring me, I wanted to pass on these money saving tips to you:
-- 100 Free business cards at www.RedTagPrintSale.com
In case you decide to get something else printed from them (besides the FREE business cards!) I also wanted to tell you about their unlimited use promo code - it never expires and you can use it again and again:
-- 10% off promo code “RTPS10”
FYI: I’ve used this company to print fliers and signs for Church events and even yard sales. The quality is really good compared to what I’ve gotten from VistaPrint and others that offer FREE business cards.
I hope you have a great week. I’ll be checking back soon. Bye!
Uuuuggghhh...let's not talk about school yet. That makes me sad too!! Boooo!
Everyone is really loving the Ruth Bible study. I think I need to join in on that one! The one you picked for fall looks really good, too. You can't go wrong with those three ladies writing it!
