Happy Hump Day

I can't believe it is already August 4th! My birthday was on the first and it was great. My mom made homemade pizza on the grill (Courtney helped). My hubby got me GPS for my birthday! YAY! Im very excited about that. I got wonderful gifts. I love birthday's!

Kaci started day care on Monday. Of course she cried when I dropped her off and of course she has cried every morning since. The great news is that when I pick her up in the afternoon I can tell she had such a great time. She is always in a great mood and that makes me happy. They have so many books and so many toys inside and out! I get a progress report every day that says exactly what she does all day long. It's awesome. They also have a preschool right on campus!

I think it's time to start potty training. Kaci doesn't like be in a wet or poopy diaper and always tries to pull it off before I can get one from the closet. I think I will buy her a potty seat and a step stool so she can get used to the idea. :o) We will see how it goes. LOL

Kaci has been learning new words every day. She loves to talk. She also loves to wave bye bye to the airplanes and YELL "BYE BYE" when she sees them fly over head. HA HA. She has also learned to cheese for the camera!

Courtney has read every Diary of a Wimpy Kid book. We are waiting for the last one to be released. We did preorder it so we should get it right away when it comes out. She said they are great books. Now that she is done with those what else can she read? I have been getting her all ready to start the 5th grade! HOLY COW 5th grade!!! She has been practicing her math with a 5th grade workbook as well as word problems. She did tell me that math was NOT her favorite subject. I told her she better get used to it because she has a long way to go! Her room has been freshly painted (thanks to grandma Marian), got new wall decals, and she got all new bedding and curtains so we are patiently waiting for those to arrive. She has been such a good girl and such a big help. She deserved something new. Maybe a PSP for Christmas. We'll see. She has been asking for one. She is all registered for soccer for the fall season. We are going to be busy!

The animals are adjusting to their new home. They seem to be adjusting very well. The cat continues to explore every nook and cranny and the dog, well, she is herself. :o) I have to say though that I will be soooooo excited when our household goods arrive. I'm grateful, but sick of sleeping on an air mattress. I miss my couch and my dishes and my pots and pans. The good news is they should be here any time.

My friend Angie had the twins!!! YIPPEEEE! They are so wee tiny and so adorable. Declan Arthur and Connor Andrew. The wee ones are still in the hospital gaining a little bit of weight. They should be able to come home in September! (Although we are hoping for sooner!) Mommy and daddy are doing great!!!Welcome boys! I am so bummed that I don't get to see them right away, but I am hoping in another couple of months I can fly out for the weekend to meet them! What an exciting journey!

Let's see...I can't think of anythng else..Oh wait!!! Only 63 more days until my person and her family arrive!!!!! WOO HOO! Okay, not I don't think there is anything else. Happy Hump Day!

Until Next Time..
