Catching up with my blog rollcall

For the weeks that I was behind with my blog posting, I was also behind with my blog reading.... I have been catching up but it is not easy... You guys know how much I love writing comments, so if you miss me, dont worry... I will be by your blog VERY SOON!! :)

Low key weekend

This weekend was very low key... We spent most of the time at home, mostly because I had a ridiculously amount of work to do and I needed to get tons of things done. I also decided to create a group in Facebook for my shop and I added all the cards that I have in my blog, in my new group... Stop by and become a fan. It was fun!

Hubby and I also had tons of quality time which is always great.. We went food shopping with my mom and also went to visit my dad, and spent some time with my nephew and his mom there...

Now is time to hit the bed! Tomorrow I need to shop for Gaby's backpack which is the only thing that I plan to buy online (well.. I probably also buy the lunchbox and some bentos).... I may look for some pants too... We'll see.

A first Grader???

Im still in disbelief that Gaby will be a first grader in less than 2 weeks... School starts on August 18th and it gets so weird to think about Gaby getting "grades" and maybe even "Notice of concern" or "detention".... She will also get several homeworks each day, instead of one homework 2 times a week when she was in K.

She is going to be in the building where the big kids are, and she is going to be the youngest of the WHOLE school... Last year she was the youngest of her classmates, but there were a bunch of kids from grades Nursery, Toddler and Pre-K that were younger than her... This year she is going to be the youngest of over 300 kids!! (In case you are wondering why she is the youngest, it is because all her classmates are already 6 or turning 6 this month or in September... She turns 6 on October 5th, which makes her the youngest).

Im very happy with her new teacher. Her new teacher is somebody Gaby loves and that loves Gaby, and also the teacher's aide. Im sure that will make the adaptation process just easier, because she still wonders why her teacher from last year wont be her teacher anymore... Her new teacher is the one that we went with to our first family vacation back in April.

Wordless Wednesday #1 - Lollypop Madness

Ok.. This one wont be so wordless cause it is the first one, and I need to explain what is this all about. The idea is that every Wednesday I will post a photo without words... While I get my new camera, I may use old photos, but I will put new photos here and there when I have my dad's camera at hand.

See more photos at Wordless Wednesday and 5 Minutes for Mom.

Sun and sand!

Since a few weeks ago, I started a Facebook Event inviting my high school friends for a day at the beach. Off we went this morning and how fun it was!!! I still have my new round of tonsilitis, so I couldnt get in the water, but that didnt keep me from having a great time.. My brother Manuel (aKa Tite) went with us and the girls were very happy!!

Uneventful week

Nothing much happened this week... Hubby has been going to school, I have been working a lot, the girls have been having tons of fun at home, and hubby and I have been watching movies every night..

The camera wasnt here, so there is not even photos from this week!! We are getting ready for a beach day with my high school friends tomorrow!
