Our week in review.....

Wow...what a busy week...I don't think I personally realized how busy it was until my eyes started getting really heavy tonight and I realized I HAVE to get on and blog before a new week starts and life goes on and I forget to document some of the cutest moments ever.
Let's review....

MONDAY = first day of school (school for Kate = Kindergarten, school for Wesley = preschool)
seems pretty simple, huh? well....for the past week I've had to try to explain constantly to my 2 year old why summer camp is over and Ms. Donna is no longer his teacher and why he's a big boy and why summer camp is over for Kate and why Kate is in kindergarten and where did Miss Suzie go and where did the playground go and why they painted the sidewalk red.....for those of you who have heard me talk about my Wesley...he talks VERY good for a 2 year old..sometimes it can be a little exhausting!

TUESDAY = Mommy in The Woodlands = Dad did pick up duty. I hung around the office until 4ish to catch up with some of my favorite people who I miss dearly and then I had to run some essential errands when in The Woodlands. First errand = exchange Vanessa's watch at Fossil in the mall = if I'm in the mall might as well get Kate some M&M cookies from the Cookie Company. Second errand = picking up Cane's chicken strips for Miss Kate with plenty of extra bread. For the record I don't know how I made it back to Victoria (3 hour drive in rush hour traffic) without having to stop to go potty b/c I drank an entire Cane's lemonade and Cane's iced tea...guess I was just in a hurry to get home before bedtime to kiss my sweeties good night!

WEDNESDAY = Normal day at school and Justin and I sent in round 2 of our house plans. We are hoping to have the final version back in a week so we can put the 'FINAL' stamp of approval and get this show on the road...we are ready to start building and get OUT of this rent house! I have never missed yard work so bad in my life! I guess I never realized how much of our time and energy we invested in our house in Conroe...we miss that!

THURSDAY = Grandma's birthday. Normal day at school. Grandma called at night to thank the kids for their cute birthday card and for the next 30 minutes I had to share the phone with Wesley who insisted on singing happy birthday to grandma over and over and over again. Not to mention that he's been rehearsing ever since my birthday was over in July. He and Kate love asking who's birthday is next? Once I tell them who's birthday is next it's all over.....we have to rehearse the Happy Birthday song daily...I'm getting exhausted just thinking about Happy Birthday to Kate every night until October 8th!


FRIDAY = Normal day at school and Grandma made a stop at the house after school while she was in town for a funeral. She and my Aunt Delores stopped by to visit the kids and grandma came armed with her usual treats....bubble bath, coloring books, markers (washable thank God!) and crayons. Not to mention money for the kids piggy bank..which always sparks Kate's comments about how she's saving for college (yes...we have this drilled into her mind so she knows the piggy is off limits for now). Wesley is just happy getting coins to put in his piggy bank until he realizes he's put them all in and goes around asking everyone for more money. Luckily, my grandma has tons of patience and she thinks its just too cute and keeps handing out more (I know this will come back to haunt me as they get older but for now I just pick my battles..if she wants to spoil..go ahead..it makes them feel super special!)
