1st day of school


School's back in!!! Here they are all ready for their first day.

Bag tagged... again :)

Here's my purse

Here's the contents


I was bag tagged by my cousin, Kassy. You know, I think the only reason I'd get bag tagged, after I've already exposed the contents of my purse once before is the train wreck effect... It's so horrible, but you have to slow down and look :)

I'm not gonna list it all this time, last time took me forever... lol. My day planner and my camera are missing from the picture.

I think if I ever get bag tagged again, I'll make an I Spy game out of it. Ha ha ha. That's what the pic reminds me of.

I'm tagging.... Stacy, Julie and Sabina... Let's see your bag and what you've got in it :)

Yard Sales, Snakes and my Crazy Day

I went to a really fun yard sale today... you can check out my treasures on my American Homemaker blog.


Kid Time at the Covey Center was crazy today. I booked a reptile show. The guy was supposed to do three 20 minute shows. Instead he did two 1 hour long shows, which totally threw things off and made us run late. On top of that, my volunteers didn't show up and I ran all the activities in the dance studios myself. It wasn't super busy, which was nice since I was by myself, but it was a very frustrating day!


Here's Nina with one of the snakes from the reptile show. They had a ton of gross creatures, including a 14 ft python that the kids got to pet... yuck! It was five years old and they had owned it since it was only 12" big... crazy. Nina kinda looks crappy in this pic, she wasn't tired... lol, she just washed a bunch of black "Egyptian" eyeliner off of her eyes.

Quiet Night

After two weeks of having eight people in our little house, it is extremely quiet now. Ken went home today with his kids, and my kids went to their dad's house until Sunday. It's very peaceful. I miss everyone, of course, but it is nice too :)

I stopped at Maceys today to do some grocery shopping after work and decided to attend one of their cooking classes. I used to go a lot, and have been wanting to go again for a while, so it was really nice. I got lots of yummy recipes to try.

Dino Museum



We took the kids to the dinosaur museum and the farm at Thanksgiving Point on Wednesday. They had a lot of fun. We even let them do fossil drilling, where they each got their own fossil to take home, and they got to drill on it to make it stand out, and add their name, etc. They thought it was pretty cool.
