• I'm just not having much to say besides my daily happenings, which are not extraordinary. I guess I will ramble about that a bit just to say I posted more than once this week.
• Dropped Madeline off at school where she was to make "egg boats" for this week's cooking. Those are actually deviled eggs. Like she was going to eat that. I know I wouldn't have. Then she had lunch bunch so Caleb and I had an extra hour to run errands which were about 30 minutes away.
• Filled the car up with gas, spied a station that had actually dropped below $2 (1.99, but still...They have opened a Woodstock Coffeehouse down by Publix and it has a drive thru. I have actually only used it twice, but it is doggone convenient. Could become a little ritual. Got me a sesame bagel and a caramel machiato or whatever it is called.
• Dropped off consignment stuff at Tadpoles to be picked up an hour later. Then we went over to the mall. I rarely go the mall, but had heard Forever 21 had cute stuff that was inexpensive. I got a headband and a shirt. I can't find the shirt, but here's the headband. Okay, I can't get it to copy the picture, but it is a black and white scarf headband.
• Caleb was doing great in the stroller as we were walking through the actual mall part, but turn into a clothes store, and he would instantly freak out. This was going to have to be fast. I got to Baby Gap and got a him a few shirts, solid red and solid white and a wide striped navy and green one. They were on sale for 6.99 which is good.
• Out of there fast and back to pick up the consignment. I shouldn't even bother doing the store, since I usually do well at the church sale in spring and fall, but I thought I'd try since I had just cleaned out the kids' closets and I didn't want to store the stuff. Well, they have some light they shine on all the clothes to see if there is any hint of a stain. Well if Caleb has ever worn it, it will have had some kind of yuck on it at some point. Madeline fits into her clothes for a few years, so they are "well-loved" also. Anyway, they didn't take much, which amazes me because the stuff in the store was kind of yucky to me. I guess I was kind of insulted because I thought my stuff was much cuter and cleaner. Oh well.
• On to Old Navy to get Caleb some things because the boy needs some clothes and I am having trouble finding them. Came up short here too. They had recently had their big Baby Sale so they were pretty picked over. I did get him some chocolate colored pants to go with something he already has and two long-sleeved t-shirts for layering in navy and white. Because white is a good color to put on Caleb when he eats...I got myself an outfit as a prize for enduring this trip at all:

We went to get Madeline and Caleb fell asleep which means I could say sayonara to naptime. Madeline did do a little quiet time in her room. I had to make dinner for a couple from Sunday School that just had a baby anyway. I made some more of the Meatball Minestrone from Super Suppers that I LOVED and bread. That soup is very filling. Dan didn't have to cook again because I had made a big batch of that soup.

• Gymnastics was this afternoon after we dropped off the meal in was pouring down rain.
• Dan, by the way, had a very good trip to the beach and seems much more relaxed since he's been back.
• I did some scrapbooking last night and finished Madeline's Dixie Chick page I had started in July! I hooked up my laptop in the craft closet and went to Pandora.com and made me some "stations". Perfect! I need to get some serious time in there to catch up.
• Tonight I made a tile with a Bible verse on it for one teacher's birthday and some notecards for another's.
• Tomorrow is out to eat night and FINALLY my sleep late Saturday. I have waited for that day for weeks!!!!
• That's it for me. I need at get a full night's sleep before I face the jungle at school tomorrow.
