Random Thoughts

Rylee had her 2 year checkup today. She looks great. She really put a show on for the doctor and made him laugh. That is unusual for her because she usually just stares when people other than family try to talk to her. She weighed in at 24 lbs which put her in the 25th% and I forgot her height, but she was in the 30th %. I found that funny since Em and Al were always at the top of the charts for height.

Sitting in a room at the doctors office for 45 mins with an almost 2 year old and 3.5 year old is not a lot of fun. I always seem to get scheduled the first day he's back from a vacation, it's never good!

Mike graciously let me drop Em off at his office so I could go with just two instead of three. Those rooms are very crowded with all of us in there. So I made her take her 1st grade prep homework to work on, gave her a goal and told her she was allowed to read after it was done. Not only did she do it but it was done very neatly and she did above and beyond what I ever expected. Including writing two of her 6 or 7 summer stories she is required to write along with drawing pictures for it. And again, I was shocked at how incredibly neat and well done it all was. I think the summer break has refreshed her for school again! School work got pretty sloppy the last few weeks of kindergarten.

I'm dreading the extreme heat this week. But had to laugh at the teenager driving behind me today. It was easily over 100 degrees and he was in a pickup wearing a winter snow hat, hooded sweatshirt and had his windows down. Made me wonder what he was hiding? LOL!

I've made it to 24 weeks pregnant, 6 mo., today. I'm feeling done being pregnant but not ready for the baby yet. How is that supposed to work?

Can someone explain to me why it is that when I order from Amazon that I always get the first book in the series delivered last? It's so frustrating. If it weren't so much cheaper online I would just go to our local christian supply.

Emily is very very into the Berenstain Bear books right now. We have a ton of them. Mike's mom always bought him the new one when he was growing up and brought home the Scholastic book order sheet and she gave him the lot after we got married. She literally reads them for hours.

Sunday was a great family day. We actually drove to church together, normally unheard of. Then went to a great pool party for the worship team. Then I actually got a solid nap while Mike happily played Tiget Woods 10 for 2.5 hours straight. Then we took the girls to Waterworks, Made dinner, gave the ice cream and put them to bed. It was a good day. Made up for not seeing much of each other on Saturday.

I think that's about it. You'd think with the blogging olympics I would have nothing to say.
