School

Why is it easier to borrow money than register your kids in school? Honestly do we really need all of these forms. Crazy. So to beat the system I arrived at school at promptly 8 with all of my forms already filled out. For some reason I actually thought this may save time. Wrong!! There were even more forms plus all forms needed to be copied and sorted and alphabetized and translated in to Latin. No not really, but it was a little crazy. The registrar seemed awfully suspicious when I presented birth certificates from 3 different states and immunization record from a few more. Oh well. At least I had all of my records and utility bills in triplicate. A few hours later we were finally officially registered. YEA!!! I guess it is really going to happen. All three of my girls will be in school full day next year. I never thought I would make it and now look. I guess I shoud go buy some bon-bons to fill the time. Do they still make those?

Our week

So my blog-iva friend promises me that I am over thinking blogging and need to just go for it. I worry about this slightly not having the right pic or words, but taking an experts advice here we go posting with reckless abandon. . .it has been a big week for us. Here are some highlights:

• the Hub had a bday (it rhymes with 7)
• the bug guy who is know my BFF came and sprayed my house because afterall I do live in Texas and just like humidity, big hair, and y'all bugs are part of life here.
• we finished our school supply shopping, which is a HUGE accomplishment
• we survived tropical storm Eduardo--basically it rained
• we moved a few links on the paper chain closer to school

Life's A Beach

So I must admit. I waited in line for Breaking Dawn. We could

have been first, but who would have guessed that a middle aged man in a longhorns jersey was really in line. Anyway we got the book and then headed to Whattaburger (Wader-burger to the locals) apparently it is like you are saying water and you are from the midwest. (crazy Texans) Needless to say the honey fried chicken biscuit at 1am kept me up so I got a fair amount of reading in early Saturday morning. STEAMY, STEAMY.

Saturday we headed to the beach. We went to Crystal Beach and crabbed--no we did not complain people--we caught crabs. Honestly, we tied chicken necks to twine, threw the twine in the gulf and reeled in the crab. A good time was had by all. I think the crabs even enjoyed their brief time in the red bucket. We let them go and headed to the beach. We drove right to a great spot, set up chairs, and hung out. My plan was to read, but in all honesty I could not keep my eyes off my 3 girls and 1 crazy hubby playing in the water and sand. It was a great day. So sometimes life really is a beach and that is a very good thing.
