You Know It's a Good Weekend When....

you watch your girls cheer at the Friday night football game,

you go to the library to load up on new books,

you get to watch a skateboarding bulldog with your five-year old, (!)

your husband bakes an apple pie in honor of Johnny Appleseed's birthday,

(yum)

you spend a fun evening with Ryan and Angie,

you catch up on all of the laundry,

the Detroit Lions actually win a game and break their losing streak,

and you get to visit with your parents unexpectedly.

Today I'm thankful for weekends!

Dog Days of Summer!

Yes, it has been quite some time since I have blogged! Things have been busy over here - and much too hot for my taste! I am currently subbing in a kindergarten classroom (while the teacher recovers from surgery). So I haven't had the time, energy or inclination to post on the blog. Sorry! It has been fun to be in the classroom again and I am enjoying most of it. Of course, one of my students has the first confirmed case of the "swine flu" at CVC and four more kids went home sick on Friday. I'm hoping to stay healthy in the midst of it!

On a lighter note, the highlight of our day was bathing the dog! (That's how exciting things have been over here!) Spinner just stood there patiently in the tub while Phil washed him - as the rest of us looked on. He is such a good dog for us!

Ainsley Turns Three!

Ainsley turned 3 on September 11th! We celebrated her birthday on Labor Day and had a wonderful time. It's hard to believe that Ainsley is three already - I remember the day she was born.

As always, Ainsley's favorite gifts were books. She has always loved to look at books!
