A bunch of randomness...

1. Even as I speak... or type... Kiah is taking her doll potty.... again. Evan is playing with Dallas' electric razor (Shhh don't tell)... and I am blogging (obviously :)). Ummmm hold on a sec... let me get my kids something to do... I am a good mom I promise :)

2. I just posted a Fall Special on my photo blog... check it out if you are in need of family portraits :)

3. Last week for Labor Day we stayed home :) but we also set up our tent in our backyard so we could camp out.... I think that was the second time I slept in that tent and Dallas bought it for me over 3 years ago. Honestly, I was a little creeped out sleeping in our backyard that is not fenced in. I swear there was some one creeping around at one point during the night. Oh well, we are alive and now safe sleeping inside :)

4. I love to eat out. It is a weakness of mine. Lucky for me I married Dallas, he keeps me in line. We did eat at Cici's pizza a week or so ago... (what happens to be a weakness for Dallas :)). There was a balloon artist there making balloons for the kids. Evan and Kiah had to get one of course... Evan's is a dog and Kiah's is a monkey climbing a tree...except her monkey popped so we used a stuffed monkey to make her happy :)

5. In a week from this Friday Bill Cosby is going to be here at Purdue and Dallas and I get to see him perform!! We are super excited! We definitely need a night out.

6. My new favorite show is White Collar. I. Love. It. You should watch it too... though you should start from the beginning if you want it to make any sense. Sadly this week (for Hulu watchers) is the summer finale. Now I have to wait until January to watch more.... I'll have to find a new show to obsess over...

7. Evan went to his first day of Joy School today... he was a little nervous (compared to last year when he wasn't so nervous). Though he did give me some smiles for a few pictures so that was good. I actually had to bribe him to let me leave. I think it was because we were at a new friend's house with kids he just started to get to know. This moving thing was sure hard on him and we only moved a few miles away. On Sunday's I always ask him who he played with in nursery and he always replies with a "no one, I played with a truck" or some other random toy. He has been acting a little shy since our move.

8. Dallas has his Exiting Exam coming up in one week... then he presents it on October 1st... which is also his birthday. He isn't excited about it and I don't blame him. The last time around wasn't the best experience for him. Hopefully things will go well so he can graduate and move on with life. He works so hard and I love him for it!

9. Last night we walked at the Celery Bog. I think I am realizing how much time we have left with this warm weather and I am wanting to get outside more and more. We had fun getting attacked by mosquitoes while Evan lead us through the woods.

10. For those of you who read about my phone troubles, all is well... for now. My phone started working a few days after I called for a replacement. They are still sending me a new phone (it was supposed to be here last Thursday) but I am supposed to return it... unless my phone dies between now and the time that the new one actually gets here. Whatever.

11. My kids have been wonderful as of late. I have been able to sleep in till about 8 everyday... ahhhh. They usually are awake before that, but they let me sleep :) They usually come into bed with me for a minute or two and then Evan says "come on Kiah, let's go play!" and they head off to their room and entertain themselves. This has been the moment I've been waiting for ever since we decided to have a second child :)
