GT01485A

Just finished watching Horton Hears a Who… son3’s pick since it’s his birthday tomorrow… He’ll be 9…. then on Sunday it’s son1’s birthday… He’ll be 23… Big birthday weekend here… Son1 is off to see his Dad… hasn’t seen him for seven months… he’s a truck driver and hasn’t been in state for a while… Son1 is too excited…

GT00157A

Son3 is just too excited it’s his birthday… Hubby put up the decorations today… He and son2 wrapped the presents… They picked up a Banana Split Ice Cream Cake for son3 and ordered a White Cake with Banana Filling with Green Frosting for son1… Tomorrow morning will start with breakfast… I see donuts and bacon… Guessing there will be some eggs too… Then of course son2 wants to open presents… Son1 said he would be home tomorrow but don’t know when… otherwise he can open presents on Sunday, however not til hubby and I get home from work… Originally son1 was going camping with girlfriend’s family so we didn’t plan to have the day off…. but now his Dad’s in town so all plans changed…

I asked son3 what he wanted to do tomorrow and he said go to a restaurant like Carl’s Jr… I said Carl’s Jr is not a restaurant and he said yes it is, they have tables there… I said how about Applebees or Dennys… He picked Applebees, so we’ll see…

hbssbb..

Son3 has learned to blow up a balloon and is now blowing them up and then letting them go all over the room as the air blows back out…. lol… Hubby is watching a Smallville repeat… son2 is grumpy in his room, so I told son3 to go let a balloon loose in his room… I’m tired and ready for bed… I was at work at 6am today to set the ad… And it’s going to be a busy day tomorrow with all the celebrating…

Happy Journaling…

I can’t believe how much I cried… even son2 had a tear or two and others were sniffing in the theater too….

despicable_me7

We saw Despicable Me… It was funny… the boys loved it…

Despicable-Me-1

I think it got built up too much as I was expecting a bit more or I was just tired that day as I couldn’t keep my eyes open…

We wanted to see Shrek Forever After but we were too slow and it was no longer playing in the theaters…

July Twenty First

IMG_0001

I started this entry at the beginning of the month by putting the pictures in… we have been so busy with all the summer happenings that it’s taken all month just to keep up with all the pictures that I have been sharing about our days out and about…

The last expense of the school year was the cookie dough fund raiser… $45 for three tubs of cookies/nine dozen… peanut butter, chocolate chip and raisin cranberry… they are very yummy… and all ready to just place on the cookie sheet… still have a dozen of each left to cook…

We have all been book crazy this year… From Scholastic book orders in son3’s class to Doubleday Book Club to Barnes and Noble to Walmart… I ordered another bookcase for the hallway from Walmart today… Can’t wait til it gets here next week so I can reorganize all the books… Even son1 bought a book all about Jeeps… I thought he was allergic to books…

IMG_0031

I am especially hooked on Nora Roberts this year…

IMG_0001

Miss Holly… kind of hard to blog when her favorite place to sit is on the keyboard so she can be petted…

IMG_0013

I also did a bit of shopping at Current Catalog… They had buy one get one free and dollar days with free shipping if you spend $40… so couldn’t resist…. got lots of stickers…

IMG_0014

and birthday, anniversary and note cards… they also are handing for scanning in and using for graphics in the blog…

The racks in my dishwasher have been slowly loosing their clips so when you pull out the racks they come all of the way out and onto the floor if you aren’t paying attention… It was 11 yrs old… so I got a new one… still GE but with push buttons and a delay button from 2-8 hours… Cool…

IMG_0034 

And my dryer has been dying for even longer… eating clothes literally in the drum, running for ever, getting too hot, not buzzing when done… also 11 yrs old… also a GE… got the same one we had, they just call the cycles something different now… the washer was replaced a few years ago, so it didn’t last the 11 yrs…

IMG_0031

Also got new Faux blinds in the dining room and master bedroom… And a new blinds for the patio door… still waiting for hubby to put the patio blinds up so I can see what they look like…

Hubby actually got a whole week vacation this summer, the week of Fourth of July… but he decided to do just a little work and a lot of play… so we went to Wawona two of the days and he took the boys fishing another day… the appliances were also delivered that week and son3 had an eye appointment…

This year I am taking my vacation a little different… just taking two full weeks, one in June and one in October…. the other three I’m taking one day at a time on Tuesdays… So I still have the rest of July left with all of September and part of October… It’s been nice having Tuesday and Wednesday off to get things done and have me time too… and then Saturdays off for family day…. It especially works for TMS entries and getting my house organized and decluttered…

Son2 and I are watching When in Rome with Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel… Cute and funny…

And now the movie is over and I was going to finish this entry (that I started this morning)  and pay the bills… Actually I have a whole list of things I wanted to do today that I haven’t got to yet… And now son2 wants to watch The Bounty Hunter with Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston… both movies are from Netflix just arrived today… But first he has to empty the dishwasher so I can fill it and then he is going to clean the catbox while I file some papers… Dinner is easy tonight of leftover ribs and I’ll make some eggs to go with them…

Happy Journaling…
