Thursday Thoughts

☼  Where is August going?

☼  Jennifer brought me back some vanilla from her missions trip to the Dominican Republic and it is sooooo good.  It makes everything so much more delicious.

☼  Which has then led to me researching how to make my own vanilla… I might do it.  Be prepared for all of your gifts from me for the next several years to be homemade vanilla.  😉

☼ Chloe & Josiah are going to their cousin Allison’s Birthday Party on Sunday.  Chloe has asked if she could just go early and wait–since she’s so excited.  I told her that she would have to wait there for 3 more days and it didn’t seem to deter her much.  😉

☼  On Sunday I’m going in the opposite direction down to Owattona to my friend Stacy’s Baby Shower.  Hooray for babies!

☼  Speaking of babies, did I ever mention on here that another one of my High School Friends, Jennifer, is pregnant with TWINS?

☼  The kids and I ran errands all over the cities for 5 hours today.

☼  But don’t worry, there were rewards to their patience… they both got new shoes and some ice cream.

☼  A neighbor down the street got a new puppy.  It’s so cute.  It makes me want a puppy again….……………….. someday.

☼ Chloe finally got her teacher assignment today.  It’s very exciting.  She has open house later this month.  

☼ On her own today, Chloe read a page out of a book.  She’s so excited to learn how to read she can hardly stand it.
