Catching Up

Well, its been over a week since I have posted anything on the blog.  I have been super busy with running the kids around with appointments and just everyday life.  There really hasn't been to much excitement since I last posted.  My computer broke on friday and so I was running around like a mad woman trying to find someone that would fix my computer and not charge me an arm and a leg to fix it. I also had to get some shopping done which didn't happen since I was trying to fix my computer.  That was not a fun day, but alas God was with me and kept me and the girl safe as I drove around Las Vegas like a crazy person.  God is so good to me because not only did he keep me safe but he answered my prayer because my computer was fixed by Sunday afternoon (I know that the prayer for quick return of my computer may seem superficial but I since I am a mystery shopper, I depend on my computer to make money.)  The weekend was busy since I had to do my grocery shopping on Saturday instead of Friday and I cooked all day Saturday for the "Cook one day and eat for a month" thing I am doing.  More on that in a later post.  I will probably do a review of the whole experience after the month has expired and can review all the meals I had made.

This is her Friday chapel uniform.

This is her everyday uniform.

On Monday the girls and I went and picked up Lorelai's uniforms for school and to pay her first installment of tuition.  Its official now that she will be attending school in 25 days.  I can not believe that my little girl will be attending school in least than a month.  I know that it would happen eventually but time sure flies by.  I remember the day she was born as just being yesterday and already she is going off to school.  Lorelai is super excited about the whole process though I don't know if she understands what it means to go to school.  We will see in a few weeks how she and I will adjust to the whole school thing.  I have also bought her a Dora backpack and  Minnie Mouse lunch box.  If you go to Cuckoo For Coupon Deals, there is a great deal on the Disney lunch boxes for those who have children who need lunch boxes.  Here are some pictures of her in her school uniform.

Eye is all better.

On Tuesday we went to the doctors for Abigail's eye. (She was born with an hemangioma on her right eye and was treated with medication for over a year.)   The doctor, like the past 4 visits, said that her eye looks great and that he wants to see her back in 3-4 months.  I am just praising the Lord that she is off the medication and that her eye is not getting worse. 

Today, we went to this place called Bounce U with a friend of mine and her son and daughter.  The place is a kids place that has bouncy things set up for the kid to play in. The idea is an excellent idea however, for kids my age it was not so great an idea.  You would think that a place geared towards kids would have something for all ages but no they didn't.  Most of the items were for older kids.  They didn't even have a normal bounce house or castle that the kids could just bounce around in.  They had a couple of slides but they were really high up and Abigail went on it twice and then cried the rest of the time.  Lorelai eventually got the hang of the smaller slide.  I do have to say that parents really should teach their kids some manners.  Multiple times, I saw kids just trample Lorelai without stopping to see if she was ok.  Then my friend's daughter got ganged up on by some other kids who felt it would be fun to whale a girl with a bunch of basketballs.  Oh well, lesson learned: don't go to places like that with small children during the summer time.  I did get some pictures of the girls playing. 

It's been a crazy busy week but I get to finish it on a high note hopefully.  Tomorrow, Larry and I will be spending the night at Club36 (its a hotel not a club).  I will also be going to dinner at this Thai restaurant close to the hotel.  I am definitely looking forward to a quiet evening with the hubby and no kids.  I feel like the last couple of weeks have been crazy busy with not time to just relax.  Praying that I come back Saturday fully rested and ready to tackle the girls for a couple more weeks before its just going to be Abigail and I at home.
