I missed you, girl! I wondered what church was like for you. Mine was in English. And you would have enjoyed me and Court each getting a bit snippy with the kids who were WAY talkative today. Jenae did a great job, but I wish you were here to orient her. Most of my answers are, "I don't know that."
I came home from girls' night on Friday to find that Claire was puking. Her stomach hurt all Saturday, too. She seems to be back to 100% - thank goodness since tomorrow is the first day of school! - but I made all the kids stay home from church just in case there is some lingering contagion.
I DREAD how Gabe is going to adjust to the girls going back to school. I hate sitting in the couch fort with him. It's crumby. Like, full of crumbs from the couch. At least the 'roid rage is gone and he doesn't talk like a toad anymore.
I bought myself some DARLING purple heels on Saturday when I was getting Charlotte's new tennis shoes, and on tax-free weekend and buy one get one half off, they were only $7.50! Gabe ran up to me when I walked in the door after church today and said, "Mommy, I want to see you wear these pretty shoes!" So he put one on me, Charlotte put on the other, and he said, "Cute!" I love that silly little boy.
Speaking of purple, I always claim to hate it so bad, but there are some exceptions. Like my darling new shoes and the sweater I own that matches. I like a good eggplant color. I repent for my years of trash-talking purple, Delana.
It looks like I'll be going to the zoo with my brother's family this week. His little girl has never been, and she adores animals. Gabe doesn't know how lucky he is. Now I just have to get my butt to IKEA to make it a true back-to-school reward for myself.
That should catch you up, Laura. I hope it is wonderful over there, I hope the food is great! Miss you!!!!

Laura is indeed missed.
And I love your purple shoes. $7.50?? Total steal for such cuteness.
And I did get pretty stern today because I think children should be respectful and reverent. We can have fun, learn, and invite the Spirit all at the same time. So we're gonna keep workin' on that.
And I still wanna go to Ikea.
count me in for ikea...and all things purple. but i was purple, when purple wasn't coo-el!
I love love love reading your blog. It isn't as good as being with you in person though, but close ;)
I'm glad Gabe isn't "roid-y" anymore and I hope he is ok with the girls leaving. And $7.50 shoes are awesome!
I remember my first trip to IKEA. It was with you. I will never forget it either :) Hope you get to go soon.
Love you!
hurray for purple shoes!!! and i will pray for the 'roid range.
I love me a good eggplant too!! Glad you got purple shoes! Enjoy yourself at Ikea!
I love these posts with my name in the title! Sadly, I turned off my alarm on Sunday, fell back to sleep, and missed church. I blame it on being up most of Friday and Saturday, but yet not being able to fall asleep until 3:00 on Sunday morning. We'll make it next week. And I will miss you guys even more then!
I hope Claire can make it to school. And I hope you and Gabe survive.
There's an IKEA fairly close to us! When we move into our apartment, I'm going!
Thanks for the post. Keep 'em coming! (And that goes for the rest of you too!)
