4 more days!!!!!!!!

Wow! Each year I can't believe how time flies! 4 more days of the school year, and it seems in some ways that we just started this year. In 4 days, I will have a 3rd grader, a kindergartner and a 3-schooler! I can't be getting that old! :-) My work schedule changed for next year too- still only teaching 2 classes a day, but they will be in the morning, so I'll have the whole day free which will be nice instead of having to watch the clock all morning anticipating going to work. I'm sure it will be much nicer.

Pretty low-key here today b/c Sadie is still sick. She has perked up a ton this afternoon, but still had a high fever this morning. She slept all morning, but hasn't wanted to sleep again this afternoon, and she ate lunch and has been snacking as well, so I am assuming she has turned the corner. I ran some errands this morning- got some hanging baskets and some other flowers to plant as well as dropped off a planter for my porch for the greenhouse to fill. I hit Wal-mart, Party America and the dollar store before heading home. When I got home, the men of the house went to the Kaat fields to practice ball, and Sadie and I planted our flowers. She rode her bike for awhile too. I washed all the bedding- sheets, blankets, mattress pads, pillow shams, stuffed animals, etc. on Sadie's, Brooks' and our bed to hopefully get all the germs out of here. Poor Cobe is the only one who doesn't get clean sheets tonight! Haha- That's what he gets for sleeping on the top bunk!

Saturday, Lisa and I went to Tangier Outlet Mall in Howell, MI, and we put a hurtin' on that place! We got lots of shopping done. I have gone down 2-3 sizes in clothes lately (Yay for me!), so I needed a whole new summer wardrobe. Yesterday, I spent a few hours going through my closet and all my drawers and trying on clothes. It was nice to weed out so many old things and replace them with new things! Thanks to Missy too- she gave me some of her clothes that she has down-sized out of. It's funny though how I go and blow so much money and when I get home I think.... hmmmm.... still don't feel like I have anything to wear! :-) I live in shorts and t-shirts all summer though, so I guess I'm set!

I think the pool in our new neighborhood probably opened today, so we will start hitting that soon. It looks like the weather will be too cool for the next few days, but hopefully by the weekend!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to some good pool days and beach days this summer! FREE fun times will be top on our agenda!

We are going to grill some burgers and dogs, so I think I'll go start getting that ready. I'm hungry!

Low key is always good! Ours started out that way till we had to leave the house to run away from the neighbors! Too bad you missed the parade! Zeeland doesn't have another one of those for a year do they?!?! Glad to hear Sadie is feeling better. You know the key to having a lot to wear is not in the clothing but the accessories!!! Another tip from the "jewelry lady"!

Missy must not know about PUMPKINFEST! And there's the santa claus parade... Sounds like you got a lot done today... I hear you about the top bunk, I hate bunk beds!

Down 2-3 sizes? That is great and you deserve a shopping spree for that!

Yay for you! Shopping sounds like so much fun - Can't wait to do that after this baby. How exciting that you only have 4 days left for school. I wish the weather would start cooperating as well. I, too, am for the free summer activities... mom's pool & the beach. yay! Presley had those same icks last week. Ugh! I hope Sadie is doing better. It was like a freak 24hr thing. Weird! I'm getting nervous... I only have two more months to get P potty-trained before our first payment is due... I don't think I feel comfortable sending her in pull-ups - say a prayer for us. see you soon.

Congrats on the weight loss. If you are ever looking for the lost pounds, I can tell you where they are.
You are definitely the best at keeping up on blogging...!!
