While the boys are away.....



The girls and I have been busy. Joe and Aaron are at Notre Dame basketball camp, and Andrew talked Grandpa into keeping him for the week to fish.

We have painted Amy's new room. The girls are splitting up for the first time since Amy was quite little. Ann will be moving into the office and the office is moving into the living room/piano room. We got a great deal on a roll top desk and moved it in the room and will be putting in doors so Dad can have some privacy. Since we are moving furniture around we decided to have a garage sale with all of our extra "stuff". Nothing motivates my kids to get rid of stuff like selling it. We are using the money for a Kings Island trip next week.

School starts on Augsut 11 this year, so we don't have a lot of time left. Amazing how fast the summer just flies by.

We have something going on everyday up until then. School clothes are bought- just got the girls one new outfit and nothing for the boys. I will buy cool weather clothes later, so they don't grow out of them first. School supplies are bought. Book rental is NOT paid for. Over $500. for this brood! ughh.
