Lowes overload...Finally Preschool




Due to the kitchen remodel and other crazy projects I've come up with, poor Afton has probably gone to Lowes 5 days a week for the last 2 weeks. Here's what she has come up with to keep her occupied:
...WHICH is why Afton is so excited to finally start preschool. Now I get a little one-on-one time to run to Lowes by myself! Today I went to Kohls, Anna's Linens, Ross, and Target in 1 hour!

Must be nice having all that time on your hands! Of course, that just means more shopping! :)

I agree with Lisa.. one kid or no kids means spending too much money! At least it has for me anyway :) Cute skirt! And enjoy your "me time"

all those places in one hour? that has to be a world record. but of course i always walk in with the intention of getting one thing and get completely distracted.

Oh, love the outfit! THe people at Lowes know your first name and your kids names now... they secretly say, "Oh no, here comes Afton!". They say that at Hobby Lobby about me and my kids when we go there too. You can see it in their faces - "Oh great, now we have an extra hour of work putting back all those trims and fabrics she DIDN't buy" etc.

man, that must be nice! Does she love Ms Jill?


Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
