Lots of busy-ness

Things have been a bit crazy lately. School started, my mom's still in treatment, work is nuts! Oh, and my computer at home is dead and in the repair shop, hence the blog post during my lunch break. One day at a time is my new mantra!

First of all school started for the girls on August 19th. Well, they were in school all summer because I work full time. But the new school year started on August 19th and the girls moved up to their new classes that day. Macey is in the twos class and Lena is in PK4. One more year until kindergarten!

First day of school!


Last weekend Lena was invited to a birthday tea party for her friend and classmate Autumn. Siblings were welcome but Lena really just wanted to have a day with mommy so we left Macey at home with daddy. Lena had a great time! It was a very nice tea party, complete with real china...fancy! I don't think I've ever heard so much squealing in my life.

Tea?


Balloon artist making COOL balloons! She was great...I may have to hire her for a party.


Lena got a butterfly.


Time for cake!

On August 22nd, Kevin & I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. I really can't believe it's been 10 years. He bought me a bouquet of tulips, my favorite flower. This pic was taken by Lena.



The dogs are not helping the craziness factor in our house these days. I think Barney is mad that Maggie is staying with us. We keep finding pee spots in the house. We had attibuted them to Maggie since Barney never used to do that but I caught him in the act yesterday. Who knows which ones are from which dog? I think we're going to have to start crating them both!
