good morning!
of all the days of the week, Ethan chooses this one to sleep in! hes out! but thats okay, he needs about a days worth of sleep to catch himself up! hes been grouchy for days and its tiring!
today is Saturday! its 74degrees in my house and i have NOTHING to do today! (until later, we have a short wedding here in Knoxville). i made myself a list of errands i will need to run and i should probably do laundry. but other that that the day is wide open! it makes me so happy!
this week was crazy busy. i was tired. and we are behind at work. not bad, but just enough to make us both a little crazy. our Senior appointments are slowing down now because school has started. thats good because it lets Jeff actually be in the office to do some stuff. i got totally caught up on my editing on Thursday and then the rest of Thursday and Friday i worked like mad to get a better handle on my orders. i sent a huge order to the lab yesterday and i actually feel pretty good about where i'm at now. i brought a bunch home to retouch this weekend so that'll help too.
about this time of year we are praying just a tiny bit for that slow time in January! but.... we dont like snow... so it only lasts for a tiny bit!
i've been trying to think of family picture ideas for this year. we usually do a family picture around Ethan's birthday(October) just because it seems easier. i want to do a Hawkeyes picture this year! i actually wanted to do it out by the corn - how Iowa is that?! but its starting to look like we wont be able to get our act together until the corn is starting to be harvested. we'll see i guess.
this coming Tuesday is our first taste of Preschool. Ethan's class - Thrilling Three's - is meeting Tuesday night for a "meet the teacher/class" night. Ethan's so very excited to go to school! the biggest thing i'm worried about with him is his listening and sharing. he shares fairly well with other kids.... unless hes tired or basically just doesn't want to. and his listening skills are to be desired, as i'm sure is true with all 3 year olds. i think he listens better to other adults than he does to me though... so we might be okay.
anyways,. we got him a backpack last week and today we will go and get him some new tennis shoes! i'm needing to purge his closet again and then hit up Plush Pony or find some good Children's Place sales to get him some new clothes. i've just hung on to most of his t-shirts because its summer and he just gets them dirty and sweaty. no need to have perfectly fitting ones for that!
other than that we are pretty low key here. matt took on yet another roofing job. hes not too thrilled about it, but Adam asked him to and that's what friends do! he was up at... well after his alarm - at 6:40 this morning. they are just down the street from here so at least we can go over and check up on them today. maybe i'll be nice and make them lemonade or something! :) as for our house, Matt said our roofing guy called him and we were supposed to get supplies delivered sometime soon. so that means our house is on the "soon" list now! we're really hoping by the midding of September its all done. not that i'm in a huge hurry, because we aren't paying for it, but itd just be nice to get it all done so we can do the Open House thing again.
its almost 8 now and my kid is still passed out. i suppose laundry is next on my list! have a good one!
