Last night as we were setting everyones clothes out for the first day of school I reminded my son that I wanted to take a picture of him and not to let me forget. Out of the blue I feel a tug on my leg saying "Meeeeee Toooo I go to school tomorrow and you take my picture toooo" How can you resist such a sweet inocent request? Although I had already planned on doing some Pre-School related things with Anne thru out the day while her older brother was off soaking up the third grade. We made her own little area for school. She had already got a cute new outfit so we laid it out on the couch right beside her big brothers and we even had a book bag all set up (thanks Aunt Amy). When I then went to the kitchen to pack the non perishables for Robby's lunch I hear the pitter patter of toddler feet right behind me saying "where is my lunch box?" Yep we have one of them too and it matches Lily. That just made it that much better so we packed up Anne's right along with Robby. Sadly when Anne woke up this morning Robby had already gone off to the third grade and although she was disappointed and wanted him to come home "RIGHT NOW" we did make it thru the morning of learning the letters in her name and going over the flashcards we have been doing over the summer. (Can't wait till she is older and I get to remind her that her 2yr old preschool had her dog that she could make do flashcards.) Now that lunch, Yep out of her lunch box is over and she is down for a nap I am planning what to do this afternoon. I see a project coming on..........

This past weekend my husband was in a childhood friends wedding. I was a bit apprehensive about going to this wedding because he was in the wedding and I didn't know hardly anyone going to the wedding. I do have to say we had a great time! I met tons of new people and even a few I already knew surprised me. We have another wedding this upcoming summer and my husband is also in that one. I am feeling a little bit less apprehensive about that one since this went so smooth. I also found out that we have some really great friends and just how strong my marriage is. Thanks Brian you are the best husband ever! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin, I hope you have a wonderful life together and I hope that Scott makes Jamie as happy as Brian has made me.

So today I went up to our local outlet mall to the COACH store. It took me two weeks to convince my husband to let me spent almost $200 on a new purse. Trust me it took a ton of coaxing, dealing and bribing. So as he left for work this morning he says to me that I can take his credit card and go. I proceed to get the kids ready (take his meds to him at work that once again he forgot) and I am on my way. I get there and get the kids out of the car my daughter in her stroller and convince my son to let me push her till we get to the sidewalk, Always an issue with us. After spending at least an hour looking around the store I finally pick one much less than what he said I could spend. I then proceed to stand in line for what seems like forever with two children who really don't want to be in a "Mommy" store. I get to the front of the line and the cashier starts to ring me up, I proceed to give him my husbands credit card and he tells me that I can't use it because my name is not on the card. Now I have to say that if the credit card company ever got a signature other than mine such as my husbands they would question it. I don't think he has ever signed for ANYTHING. I proceeded to tell the clerk that I would be happy to give him anything with my name on it showing we are married I would also give him a call at work and he could verify for me. He said no and I walked out! VERY IRRITATED!!! Tonight before we go to get my husband final fitting for his tux for the wedding he is in this weekend I will need to take him with me to buy my purse. Yes I still want it.
