Summer???

Where did summer go???? I can't believe next week is August already! I have a couple of half day workshops and plan on getting started in my room. A couple of weeks ago I went to a four day math workshop, it was amazing. I have been working on a few of the ideas I got there and getting them incorporated in my room. I'm really excited about it.

We have done a couple of things around the house. Painted a little bit downstairs and are working on picking a color for our bedroom. Hopefully we can get one picked and do that sometime soon. I love owning our house and being able to do exactly what we want to it.

Doug's job is still going well. They are signing clients and moving right along. His gig as a worship leader is going well too. We are enjoying Summer Creek and the new friends we are making.

That's about it right now. Maybe something exciting will come along later to update...

Funny kids...

We have been keeping our friends kids since Thursday so that they could go celebrate their 10th anniversary. We have kept these kids several times since they were born. They never cease to amaze me with the things they say. This morning Alyssa was up before the other two so Doug got her and put her in bed with us. This is how the conversation went:

Me: Guess what Alyssa? I made chocolate chip muffins for breakfast. Do you like those?
Alyssa: Yes, those are my favorite. Do you like them Doug?
Doug: Yes, they are my favorite too.
Alyssa: Sadie can't have any because she is allergic. Are all dogs allergic to chocolate?
Doug: Yes, all dogs are allergic to chocolate.
Alyssa: Dougie did you know that doggy starts with D?
Doug: I did. Diane and Doug start with D too.
Alyssa: I didn't know that.

I just love their train of thought at this age. It is so fun to watch them start putting stuff together and figuring it all out.

Yesterday we went to the mall since it was raining and couldn't swim. We took them to the Disney store and let them each pick one thing. It was funny to watch them try to decided. Austin knew right away he was getting a car. Alexis changed her mind a few times and Alyssa never could decide. Doug finally found some Minnie Mouse chap stick that both the girls got. Hopefully the rain holds off and we are able to go to the 4th of July parade this morning. Its not raining right now!
