Do Nothing Hang Out Day

That's what today is. We've been on the go every day for a couple weeks now. It finally caught up to Cora, who had a total meltdown yesterday. So today is Do Nothing Hang Out Day. It's 9:30 AM, and Cora's still conked out. Guess someone needed sleep, eh? Poor kit. She can go and go, but when it catches up to her, it's not pretty. We're gonna play outside a bit, watch a bit of Lord Of The Rings (the girls LOVE this), and sit on our fannies.

Sarah got her glasses Tuesday. They're just SO cute on her! I'll have to snag her to get a few photos. She's still on her photo strike, so we'll see if I get anything. Maybe I'll bribe her with a popsicle! :)

We leave for CO on Thursday afternoon. A three hour flight to Denver. Monday I have to find some "stuff" for the girls to do on the plane. I need to go to the library and get the next two books in the set I'm reading. None of us have ever been to CO, so we're looking forward to seeing the mountains.

Tomorrow I'm going with my sister-in-law Lara, her friend Betsy, and Lara's dad Larry up to Larry's family farm. Lara wants me to take Senior portraits up there, and I'm going to finish Betsy's portraits up there as well. It's beautiful, with lots of cool stuff. Plus I don't have to take the girls, so it's like a mini-vacation. I was going to go up tonight, but remembered going up North on Friday in the summer is a BAD idea. Everyone else is also traveling, so I'd be in LOTS of traffic. So I'm going to wait until early Saturday morning.

Welp, I'd better get this done; Lord of The Rings awaits.

Here's a sketch if anyone's so inclined to use it.

Ugh...Monday

I hate Mondays. I just can't seem to get moving. Today's pretty laid back. Cleaned the living room and am getting some laundry done. The girls are running wild around the neighborhood with their friends. Bawahahahahah! Cora is carrying the Walkie-Talkie so that I can check in on them. She thinks she's cool. I'm SO glad she does.

Sarah had her annual physical this morning. She got tested for Anemia; she wasn't happy about that. She was tough though. I mean, who LIKES having blood drawn?

Andrew took the girls camping this weekend. I took advantage of the solitude and saw Pirates 2. Not a bad flick. I liked how the end went straight into number 3. There were some pretty funny parts. A preview for The Guardian looked really good. It stars Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher. Ashton is actually a decent actor. It comes out in Sept. Guess I'll have to see it. Talladega Nights looks pretty freaking funny as well. I don't usually like Will Ferrell, but this movie looks great. I've been to Talladega, AL a couple times. Very interesting to see a NASCAR race. Yee Haw.
