For my birthday, Matt got me a new Coach purse and a scrapbook drawer organizer thingamabob (that is an actual word right). One of my best friend's got me a M&M lunchbox and a plant, which I am infamous for killing. My other best friend got me a Pandora bracelet and several charms. I have to say I am one spoiled chick!
I can't remember if I shared what I got for Mother's day so you get to hear it again possibly-the first four seasons of Ghost Whisperer. I know the show can be a bit cheesy but I happen to like it.
The girls and I got Matt a Blu-ray player and a leaf blower for Father's day. Tell me how horrible that is- we don't have a single tree in our yard but he wanted a leaf blower so he doesn't have to sweep the grass from the sidewalk after I mow. Yes, you heard me...I have been mowing the whole yard all by myself. Matt still does the weed eating but I am woman, hear me roar!
We have spent a lot of time hanging out with friends and enjoying the summer. We have spent several occasions at our friend's neighborhood pool and we of course have a blow up pool in our back yard. It has also been so hot outside that we have spent quite a bit of time inside reading, hanging out, and watching television. One could say that television could rot the brain but I figure mine was probably rotten to begin with.
We visited Matt's grandparents in Asheville for his grandmother's 90th birthday! She looks good to be so old! It was good visiting with his family too. Unfortunately, my fibromyalgia was killing me so I wasn't in the best mood for traveling. The girls are counting down the weeks until school starts back and we are already getting psyched about school supplies, which ranks really high up with Christmas stuff for me! We have plans for the next few weeks so I hope that the girls enjoy their last few weeks of freedom.
Matt and I have also recently decided that if we continue to wait around for extra money to fall from the sky, we are never going to get to Disney world. So we are attempting to plan an all expense charged trip for the spring. I don't want the girls to be so old that they don't enjoy it. If you have planning to tips to share, that would be great! Or if you would like to donate to our "Save our sanity- give us a vacation fund" , contact me and I will tell you how. Just joking!
On another note- I put off ever watching Twilight because I thought that it was a teeny bopper thing and didn't want to go there. I finally broke down and watched it and I am now addicted. I read all four books in 8 days! I had to wait on the additional Bree Tanner book because it was out at the library or it would have been completed in there too. Then I had to watch New Moon and for my anniversary, Matt took me to see Eclipse. Matt has now decided to listen to all of the books via audio book, because he is not as big of a reader as I am. I think it is cute that my husband actually enjoys it as much as I do.
My papaw has been in the hospital for the past 2 1/2 weeks and hopefully will get to come home this week. Keep him and my mamaw in your prayers. It seems that antibiotics just don't fight his infections very well and he seems to stay sick.
So now you have the past few weeks in a condensed version. I haven't been much into the pictures lately and what I do have includes the kids so sorry that I don't have to much to share at this time. I will try to get some to share soon. Hope everyone else is enjoying summer as much as we are.
We took the girls to my mom's to ride the miniature horses.
