Getting Ready For School and Other Things

You might ask why we are getting ready for school in July?   With two weeks to go before August starts now is the time to make the decisions for shoes which by the way, Keil will finally be getting those zip up X Hi Converse she's been wanting for the past two years, and James will be finding his feet back in another pair of Nike's.   Thankfully we don't have to put out a lot of other $$ for the school supplies which they both have to bring with them.   See out here in California because our schools don't have money for all the supplies that they need for the classrooms/kids they send nice little notes home with your children on the last day of school.   This year,  Marc's mom and dad bought everything on those lists for us, so that was a BIG HELP.

So we decided this week to stay home from going out and doing things.   I really wanted to go to the observatory today, but I would prefer a warmer day so that the afternoon breeze isn't cold on me.   So maybe next week instead.

Can't believe these temps we're having in the middle of July.   We've really only had two day's of hellish temperatures in the past week, since then we are experiencing no more than 85 degrees which makes it hard to plan a pool or beach day.


Yesterday I did something I have been wanting to do for the past few months.   I cut 4 inches of Keils hair off, and boy does she look so cute.  ( I still want to cut about another inch off maybe I can bribe her with 2 more Webkins)  that should work.   Im a sneaky mom what can I say...

James and Marc

Keil and Marc 

Just a bit shorter than this.

oh and btw 

The bribe worked!!!!
