Teachers

What has happened to us as a population? This was in a workshop today. This is a small portion of the auditorium we were in. I count 7 phones in this picture. What were they all doing? Taking a picture of the presenter's screen. There was nothing great or new on the screen. But everyone still took a picture. Why, people? Why?

Box land

We live in box land now. Boxes are everywhere. I am so tired of packing. Officially over it!

Storage

Today we rented our storage unit. We'll move in to it on Friday. Well, not us. Our stuff. We're moving in with MiMi and Boonpa.

I asked the kids today if they were ready for this adventure and they got super excited. Then they asked me what adventure and I said the moving one. They were not as excited after that. I guess they thought we were embarking on some other adventure?!?

Texans

Today we packed. All.day. Packing sucks. We told the kids that we would be packing up the X-Box and all the X-Box things at then end of the day, so if they wanted to play it one more time before it goes to storage for a month, they better get to it. So they played games all day. Before you think I'm cruel, please know that we still have the Wii and it will go with us.

We stopped about 3:00 to get ready to go out tonight. We took the kids to MiMi and Boonpa and then Brian and I went to dinner and the Texans game. We brought them good luck because they won!

Shopping

This morning we had to do a little bit of back to school shopping. Thomas needed new shoes and new shorts. We also traded in a bunch of baby books at Half Price Books for some better ones. We had our last James Coney Island lunch of the summer while we were over in that area. 

Packing and Unpacking

For the past couple of days I have been packing up our things at home in preparation for our upcoming move.

Today I had to flip the switch and go unpack all my cabinets in my classroom in preparation for the upcoming school year. 

Holy moly it's a lot of work!

Happy Birthday

Thomas had a cavity filled at the dentist this morning and he was totally loopy for a few hours afterward.

This evening we celebrated Boonpa's birthday. 

Little Beakers

Today we went back to Little Beakers to do some more experiments. Super fun!

Last Lazy Day of Summer

It was another lazy day today. These days are numbered since school is starting next week for me. I finally got the kids to get dressed so we could go out to lunch at 12:00. We did our grocery shopping at Kroger afterwards. Then we came home to be lazy some more.
We have plans tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday so there's a good chance that today was our last lazy one for a while.

Happy 33rd!

Happy 33rd Birthday Brian!

We celebrated all day with Whataburger for breakfast, going to an Astros game, and Gringos for dinner!

Busy Busy

This morning I had a return to make at WalMart and a run to the Dollar Tree. Then today was the last day of basketball. Both boys had games with pizza and medals passed out afterwards.

Then Timothy and I had to hustle to get changed and go to his girlfriend's birthday party. 

Then we came back home and got Brian and Thomas. They had spent all afternoon moving stones and bricks into the garage of our new house. 

We all met up and went to the movie theater with Jeff to see Guardians of the Galaxy. 

We didn't get home until late and we were all exhausted from such a hustle-and-bustle day!

American Ninja Warrior

So today was a busy one. This morning the kids helped me laminate (or amilate as Timothy calls it) at the teacher supply store. Then we took Brian out for lunch since we were close to his office. 

This afternoon we went to the pool for an hour, then this evening Thomas met a couple of his friends at a gym. Not just any old gym though, it's the gym owned by Sam Sann an American Ninja Warrior and it's where lots of competitors from that show train. It was kids night, so the kids got to use all the ninja warrior equipment for 3 hours. They had a blast!

Shopping

Today we did a little bit of outlet mall shopping. We had a couple of birthday gifts to buy. Of course, no trip to the outlet mall is complete without a delicious pretzel. Timothy started asking for it as soon as we parked in the outlet mall parking lot.

House Visit

Today we had lunch with MiMi and took her to visit our house and the model home like it. We're loving how it's turning out so far!

Dentist Day

Today was the day both kids got to visit the dentist. All is well and they both chose chocolate flavored toothpaste and chocolate flavored fluoride. Bleck!!

Relaxing

The kids didn't want to get dressed or go do anything today, so we just hung out at home.

 We did make it out to dinner though. 

Dripping

Today was day 2 at Sea World. We wore our swimsuits today. We started off at the splash pad, then rode some water rides, then sat on the front row at the Shamu show. Out of all 3 places, Shamu got us the most wet. And it was cold, salty water! Timothy's face was priceless! He loved every second of it.

Sea World

We went back to Sea World today. This trip we are all healthy and cast-free and we intend to live it up. We're sitting in the splash zone at every show. It's an exciting life we live.

Back at work

I was back at work yesterday and today. The kids spent both days (and last night) with MiMi and Boonpa.
