Back in School

School is back and we are rolling with it! I'm so glad to be back in the school routine and the kids are enjoying it, too. Their first week was great and they are off to a wonderful start. Emma is in 3K at Ingleside Baptist Church. Her teacher is Chrissy Hetes. Emma is loving "3K"! Paul & Addie are at Covenant Academy. Paul is in 2nd grade with Mrs. Wilkins and Addie is in 1st grade with Mrs. Hayden. We are planning on an awesome year!

Do I Use My Credit Card Too Much????

I was at the mall today with Addie and Emma. As we walked around, Addie commented that she would love for the mall to be her home. She thought it would be fun to wake up each morning and be able to pick an outfit from all the clothes. She also thought it would be a great place to play hide and seek. Once we were back in the car, I overheard Addie and Emma talking....

Addie: "I would love to live at the mall. I wish it could be our house."
Emma: "I think we should buy it."
Addie: "How much do you think it would cost?"
Emma: "A million dollars."
Addie: "Ooh...well, Daddy doesn't have that much money."
Emma: "No, he doesn't."
Addie: "But you know what? We could just buy it with Mom's red card".

I about choked on my Mint Chocolate Moolatte! I obviously use my "red card" too much around Addie who has NO CONCEPT of money. She thinks if you don't have the money...you just use the card! That could be a problem.

I'm sorry, Mr. Future Husband. 8-)

Ormond Beach 2008

What a wonderful week at the beach! We spent a week at Ormond Beach, near Daytona, with my family. The kids had a great time...and the adults! It was definitely our best year yet. The kids are finally at the age where they just enjoy the sand, waves, salt, sunscreen, heat, and sharks (ask me about our near shark attack!). It was a trip with many fun family moments. Here's a glimpse....
