current thoughts...

okay so i was thinking i wanted to have some things written down about what's going on. so i thought oh good i'll put it on my blog so i can print it off later for journaling purposes. so i can't promise you that these will be too much fun to read unless your curious about what's going on my way. if so then great, if not come back in a few days and i'll have something new!

*aliya just turned 3 and is wanting to save money to buy things. currently on her list is: a barbie, m&m's, pens, and markers. (note to self: continue explaining that 75 cents won't buy all these at once)

*tomorrow is august 12th. don't forget 12 of 12. take pictures of your everyday life and post 12 of them and then make a layout with them. (note to self: finish last months layout)

*aliya's asking to go back to dance. (note to self: answer to my question on if she would want to continue this year)

*remember that i always feel better after i work out.(note to self: print this in big letters and hang up)

*just mopped the floors and loving the smell of pine-sol.(note to self: don't panic tomorrow when all those people are over and your floor is dirty.)

*craigs been on antibiotics for a week and has another appointment today. hopefully they can give him something to get better!(note to self: make sure i tell him how much i appreciate all he does.

*friday night is fast approaching.(note to self: check the movie listing so we can have a date night.)

*kelsey is growing up too fast! i don't want to let her out of the house to go to school. she's matured to quickly.(note to self: don't let her dress cute or do her hair maybe noone will pay attention to her.)

*kelsey is loving all her new school clothes, especially her new brown vans.(note to self: continue taking pics. of the outfits they are a reminder of the 80's)

*kameron is loving football. he's practicing to play lineman.(note to self: remember this when he asks for his 3rd or 4th helping of dinner)

*kameron had a dr.'s appt. and has grown 2 1/2 inches and gained 20lbs. since last september. he's growing up too fast!(note to self: don't be too shocked when i have to buy him new clothes or shoes in december)

*one of kamerons electives this year is rotc. as a mom i was hoping he wouldn't enjoy it. (looking into the future) to my dismay he loves it! i'm glad he's enjoying his classes. and he'll be in heaven in this class. for 2 months they will study the history of ww1. kameron loves war history so he'll feel right at home. this class should be an "a".(note to self: if he loves it then it will all work out)

*sad knowing my sister is moving away next week. sometimes we take for granted when our family is so close to us and it doesn't hit until they are actually moving.(note to self: have her set up a blog before she leaves.)

*at the scrapbook store yesterday and aliya picked up some embellishments. she said look mom these are sooo cute. i said yes they are. she then said oh mom it's a miracle. i had to ask her what she said. sure enough she was saying that it's a miracle. not sure what she was talking about, but she thinks those embellishments were pretty and that it was a miracle. she was definately excited. (note to self: aliya spends too much time in the scrapbook store)

*aliya is now a pro at stamping and inking. she also knows how to use my paper cutter now and that is currently her favorite thing to use. (note to self: aliya sees me scrap too much)

okay i'm off to finish up some class samples have a wonderful day and take time to enjoy those small things in life!
