Back to School (Again)

Okay my kids have been out for 11 days! Finally went back today!
We had Fall Break last week, then 2 days off to because of lack of gas in the wake of Hurricane Rita!
RITA WHAT A PITA!!! anyways.......
They were bored to tears and I was NEAR TEARS trying to keep them entertained! They are so used to their busy SCHOOL days that being home with MOMMY just isn't fun anymore!!!

So we are back into the swing of things: early mornings, lunch boxes, PTA, volunteering and today I had to make cupcakes for Sean's Teacher. Friday we are making apple turnovers!

Yesterday Alex and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary, 13 years together total, we had a quick lunch at OCharley's between running errands with the kids..I know romantic , eh??

Anyhoo, that's my quick update, I'm now preparing for Fall Festival Oct. 15th (kids school) and working on a new product line for MADE4YOUBYCHANNY.com

SEE YA!

Say Cheese for Picture DAY!

Smiles around (except for Ava)...
Allyson and Sean were very excited about Picture Day today!

Sean was decked out in his DRESSY spiderman button down shirt...as if Spiderman can be DRESSY! but it was his choice!

Allyson had on a brand new jean outfit that Nana picked out! it has a fur color and everything! She also had big girl curls!!!

Ava was cranky this morning and is already back in her crib, I'm gonna use this quiet time to NAP!

And the beat goes on.........

This past week has been sooooooooo hectic!

I volunteered at the school every day, different classrooms and different duties each day!
THen I had a room parent meeting, PTA meeting, and Teacher meeting all in one week!
The kids had a red/white/and blue assembly Friday in honor of 9/11 and I had to make 200 RW&B hats for that!
Then INLAWS came in on Thursday and we've been shopping and just hanging out every minute of the day!
I attended with them a Grandparents Social and had lunch at the kids school and we also shopped with them at the BOOK FAIR!!
then me, the kids and mil went out for dinner last night while the boys (dh and FIL) stayed home. ME and NANA had a very YUMMY long island iced tea drink that was soooo good! we both went to bed by 930pm!!

FUN , EXCITING and EXHAUSTING!

Next week is picture day, curious george week, craft day (i'm in charge of UGH) and alex will volunteer in Sean's classroom.

the week of the 19th they have FALL BREAK...5 days off! I'm looking forward to a week of not getting up at 6am!!!

anyways, that's a recap, gotta run...more beats to drum..........

do what you can

even a $1.00 would help those that survived Hurricane Katrina! One of our neighbors is taking all the donations from our neighborhood over to the kids school. I went out this morning and got pampers, wipes and some other things. I hope all these donated items makes to SOMEONE that needs it super fast!!!

My heart breaks everytime I see the news and those affected! I feel silly for the things I've complained about in the past!!! Nothing I've gone thru even compares to what they are going thru. I'm sooooooo grateful!
