Better Late Than Never!

We have had a great month since the end of school. I have a lot of things to write about, but I have been really busy, so I haven't posted anything for a while. I thought today (Sunday afternoon) would be a great time to update my journal (aka: blog). So, I got out my camera to download all of my pictures and to my dismay, the battery is dead. And, wouldn't you know it... we are out of AA batteries! So, my post today will be short and sorry... no pictures.

I just wanted to write about something fun that we did recently. Last month, on a Saturday, we had a busy day and we were all tired. The kids were showered and in their pajamas, but I wanted really wanted to go somewhere (I get that way sometimes :) Todd was exhausted and wanted to stay home, and so did Eathan. So, Chansey, Bella and I decided to go hang out for a little while. We were all wearing our pajamas, but decided not to change and get all dolled up, we just left... the way we were. We didn't do anything exciting, we just ended up going to Someburros for a late dinner and then we grabbed some groceries at the store on our way home. we had a great time together. Bella was happy and fun and Chansey and I got a chance to talk and laugh together (while Bella was eating of course). I didn't care that I didn't have makeup on and that I was wearing a t-shirt with my favorite sweatpants, we just had a fun time hangin' out!

Chansey and I had another chance to hang out a couple weeks later. Todd ended up getting free tickets, so he took Eathan to a Diamondbacks game during the day. Since Eathan got to leave school early, I thought Chansey should too! So, we dropped Bella off at her little friends house (thanks Shauna :) and went and played! This time we were dressed!! :) We went to lunch and went shopping to get Chansey some new church shoes... who doesn't love shoe shopping?!Anyway, we got a chance again to hang out and talk and just have mom/daughter time. Chansey is old enough now that we can have fun conversations and I can get to know all about her little eight year old life and thoughts. I love that! We really need to do it more often!

Well, I have a lot more to write about, but I have to get my pictures downloaded, so keep checking back... more to come soon!!
