- Watched laundry pile up after washing machine died.
- Little B and S found a new favorite past time - riding their dump trucks down the slope in our backyard. Okay, now they have graduated to riding their dump trucks down our steep driveway and all the way across the street. Little B jumps out of his seconds before the truck hits the curb. FYI - I make them wear their helmets and try not to swallow my stomach during their kamikaze shenanigans. I know, I'm the cool mom.
- Hiked the Y with the kids. (It was soooo hard, I was sore for days afterwards, but I felt like I had accomplished something so it was worth it.) Notice that none of the pics have my oldest son in them. He bailed out a 1/4 of the way up the mountain - I have given up trying to get him to like hiking.
- Washed dishes by hand after our dishwasher died (bonding family time?!)
- Bought a used washing machine from our neighbor that works great!
- Labored on Labor Day canning peaches and salsa.
- Received anonymous gift of dishwasher (answer to my prayers - thank you to the generous person(s) who helped our family in this way. I plan to pay it forward in the future.)
- Had 6 of the 8 in our family checked for strep throat. Only Little B came out positive.
- Took my tearn teaching preschool.
- Instituted a new token system to regulate media time with kids!
- Boo turned 10. The kids all helped decorate the cake. Boo and I went shopping at Gateway. Her favorite place is Build-a-Bear.
- Went to the pet store for a preschool fieldtrip. Little B held a guinea pig and a ferret, pet a chinchilla, and fed a tortoise. He loved it!
- Had my thyroid checked again. I have to go back on medication :(
- Ran out of tokens to give the kids.
- Brandon Mull book signing - We had all of our Fablehaven books signed by the author.
- Car race - DH took G to the races.
- Our microwave died (I see a pattern developing).
- My DH and I are having a mid life crisis - one word . . . teenager!
- Received a new microwave from my mom and dad! Wow! Thanks mom.
- Reading all of the "Ranger's Apprentice" books I can get my hands on.
- Put the baby in the bike trailer and got some exercise yesterday. Gotta love endorphins.
- My torn abdominal muscle is healing. I'm going to try Yoga next week.
That's it for now. Thanks for reading my blurb.
