one last sales pitch...

Hi Everyone!

I've emailed a few of you about this, but in one last ditch attempt I thought I'd post it here too -

My friend Karen is just starting her jewelry selling business and I would LOVE to help her out! I have to say that the jewelry is much more impressive in real life than in the catalog. I love it! If you have any questions please email or call me and I'd be happy to help. Don't forget the holidays are right around the corner! Check it out here - Cookie Lee

Speaking of the holidays, the girls' new school is doing a fundraiser selling things from Sally Foster. Here is the website for the online catalog - Sally Foster. They have really high quality wrapping paper for all occasions - Birthdays, Any Day, Christmas and Hanukkah, and also some really nice gifts - some great ones that can be the kind just to have on hand too.

Ok! I am a terrible salesperson! But if you see anything you like let me know! Thanks!!! :)

just a quick update...

our summer is coming to an end and i am SO sad!!! i'm sure when the kids are actually in school i'll feel releaved, but i'm still so unprepared. no, i still haven't found a school for wilson. i change my mind every other hour about whether or not i really want to send him. i think it would be GREAT for him to get to play with other kids his age, but everything here is just so, so expensive. we can afford it, but i can think of about a million other things i'd rather do with $300 a month (and that's just for 2 days a week). we'll see.

we've been trying to do as much as we can to enjoy our last weeks of summer. we've had such a blast! last week we visited uncle charley and aunt mandy and lola. we swam and swam, had tons of amazing food, roasted marshmallows in the fire pit and anna and aunt mandy even camped out in the backyard. we had so much fun!!! this week we've made 4 million trips to target to finish up our school supply shopping. today we met the teachers and toured the school. we're so excited! the girls' teachers are both so sweet and nice! the school is pretty crowded, but they do have a huge art room, music room, and library, and there are different playgrounds for all ages of kids. i'm so thrilled! the only thing i'm not too excited about is the extra supply list each teacher gave us as we walked out the door. lol! i guess it's back to target yet again!

last night the girls and i went to see "High School Musical" at Wolf Trap. we loved it! ella even said she enjoyed it more than the movie! i loved seeing the dance routines!

well, my laundry dinged and wilson just came home from playing so i guess my quiet time is over. more soon!
