My Mind is Racing with Random Thoughts

Today is our last Sunday before the new, back-to-school Sunday night rituals begin.
Normally at this time, I would be herding the kids in to take showers, do chores, get ready for dinner, and ready for bed.

Right now, Isa is out playing with her friend Hannah, Nic is taking a nap, and Alex is about to jump on the PS3.

I cannot believe summer is over.

Due to the Monsoon Season, we have had some rain. Today it is only 83 degrees out, overcast, and breezy.
I turned off the A/C, opened up all of the windows - my house is being aired out in the middle of Summer; can you believe it?

I kind of like the sound of my vertical blinds knocking into each other when the breeze comes through the window.

The kids and I met one of my bestest girl friends and her 4 kids for lunch. She's getting married in February - so we sat down to write out some To-Do lists. I helped her come up with a theme. I love themes.

After lunch, my three and I went to Michael's.
I love this time of year, and I love Michael's during  this time of year.

Alex's birthday is coming up (one we hope to celebrate in our new home). I really want to make Cake Balls like Bakerella makes.  I decided I better start practicing. So I picked up a few supplies.

Then we ran into the Halloween aisle.

I think Halloween is my SECOND favorite holiday; the first being 4th of July.

I decided it would be fun to let the kids do a little decorating...

I bought some construction paper and stickers.

We probably won't get to it until next weekend, but for sure they will be done by the time October 31 rolls around!

It's so much fun to imagine us in the new house just in time for the holidays!

Come on Bank of America... let me know what's going on!

And finally, I will leave you with this.  Nic found his Toy Story 3 stickers.
And decided to grown a uni-brow, mustache, and goatee with them.
Oh, and he pierced his right ear.

This kid makes me laugh.
