Random Tuesday

We are home again from our trip to Dallas and Hawaii. I will have to try to post some of my favorite pictures. We had a wonderful time there without any kids. Thank you to my sister and mom for watching the girls for us!! They said they had a great time and Emily said it was the best summer vacation ever! :) Sarah was having so much fun she didn't even miss us so I was glad about that!

We found out who Emily has for her teacher this year. School starts NEXT WEEK. The summer just flew by. We looked online at the teacher's website and she seems like a really good teacher. Emily is so nervous. For the first time since she started going to school, she won't have lunch or recess with her best friend.

I signed Eliana up for another session of gymnastics today. The lesson will be once a week right after school. I figure that way Emily can do her homework while we wait on Eliana. Then, Eliana will be able to concentrate on homework when we get home since she let out all of her energy in the class right before.

I finally got all of the school supplies for both girls. I bought the last few things this morning. It's crazy how you have to have specific items...must be Fiskar scissors, Must be 8 oz or larger of hand sanitizer. Emily needs 60 pencils for some reason. That's almost two pencils a week.

I still need to get shoes for all of the girls and a hair cut for Eliana before school starts. I also need to complete my training for being a Girl Scout leader. I just have one more class to take.

I have lists for everything so that I will hopefully get it all done before next week in addition to getting this place cleaned up. I am ready to tackle it! :) I hope everyone else is enjoying the last few weeks of summer!
