- Yesterday's Challenge was "color blocking." I pretty much do this all the time.
- This is my only pair of shorts. I would have gone with a nice colored skirt for this challenge, except we took a mini-vacation to a kid's park and I wanted to be able to climb on the playgrounds with them.
- Mike took the only picture of me yesterday. It has now traveled cell phone to cell phone to email to blog. This is as good as it gets, quality wise!
- Clothing: Shorts: Target, Cami: Yard sale, Tshirt: Target, Sandals: Sanuks.
- More on the trip later, because it seriously rocked. For a 24 hour trip.
- We got home 3 hours ago and my children are seriously seriously cranky. I can not wait for bedtime.
- We bought school supplies yesterday on the trip, and it wasn't nearly as much money as I expected.
- I am slightly grumpy that I have to sharpen and writes his name on 48 pencils. But I assume you are all doing that too, right?
- I am VERY grumpy that they require two boxes of 8 crayons. REALLY?? A box of 8 is $1.97 at Target. A box of 24 is like a quarter. I almost just bought two boxes of 24 and picked out the appropriate ones.
- But decided to come home and check locally first, since we were out of our own school district.
- School started Wednesday. Bring it on.
- One more banner under works and then I'll have run out of banner orders. Do you need one? I'm going to feel adrift without one waiting on me.
- Faithful Place by Tana French. Not very far into it, but I'm realizing I really dislike the Irish slang stuff.

I love 24 hour vacations! So much easier to pack and plan for and it's enough of a break to revitalize me.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me started on school supplies! lol I've dealt with them from both sides - as a parent and a "teacher". Ugh
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a really nice get-away.
I was all done with school shopping WAY before school started, but then The Boy is on a special academic team and they needed more stuff ($50 later), no kidding...
ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys had lots of fun! Little vacations are the best in my opinion :) And I read In the Woods by French awhile back and really enjoyed it so I'll be looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Faithful Place.
