September 2, 2013 at 3:01 pmFamily movie night on Friday. Does it count as “family” movie night if Hubby and eldest child were in one theater, while youngest and I were in another theater? Read almost all day on Saturday. (OMG, such an indulgent feeling.) Bought new shoes for my ever-growing 13 year old on Monday, followed by DVDs with both kiddos on a rainy Monday.

My dad flew in for a visit and to meet his newest granddaughter (4mo old) and played with my other 2 kids at the AK state fair. I’m exhausted.

September 2, 2013 at 3:12 pmMy family worked all weekend, so I started too many small projects and didn’t really finish any of them. Spent most of today trying to clean up my “multipurpose” room; getting readyin to rearrangemake and paint in there so it can become what I want it to be: my cookbook library! Sure would love to add yours to the collection 🙂
