It is August already

Man.. I feel I was just here posting and thinking of what to write about.. Well here it is in August already. Wow! We have went to the store and got Alexa all her back to school supplies, which amazes me.. 48 pencils?! What the?! I need to go and get her some clothes, but am going to wait, as she is so growing AGAIN! She is in a size 5 shoe... She is going to pass me up in 4th grade.
WE celebrated Andrea's 2 year Anniversary on August 1st of being home in Minnesota by having Steaks on the grill, twice backed potato's and corn on the cob. It was Super Yummy and for dessert, Alexa and I baked brownies with chocolate frosting. Alexa set the table in the Guatemalan place mats we bought in Antigua on our pick up trip and she set out Wine glasses and the girls had sparkling Apple juice and Scott and I had some wine. We said our prayers and made a special toast to Andrea and her being with us. It was really sweet.
I will be posting photos and out vacation trip soon- I can not add photos on our computer right now. We had a great time and the girls were great travelers. We loved Sesame Place and Alexa loved the Ben Franklin stuff in Philadelphia. I liked Atlantic City and the ocean, as so did the girls. WE have Lots of sea shells..
Tonight is National Night out, so we will go and hang out with some neighbors and eat. It is always a fun time, as even though some one may live 3 houses away, you may see them 3 times a year..
This weekend, we are pulling out our landscaping/rocks in the front yard and adding fill to the house,as it is sinking in on the side of the house and Scott is worried about the foundation and water problems. WE have LOTS of projects going on over here.. I am trying to get new blinds for the Living Room and Family room and also the patio door. We have lived here 11 years and I need some updating. :)
School starts here in 4 weeks- YIKES! I have a lot of things to do with the girls before then. We made a list and we better get Busy!! :)
