2 new additions to the family

Today we added two new additions to the family....no not children...a goldfish and a tadpole. :) Katie has been asking for a fish so we got her one for her birthday. The tadpole is a gift for me for my bd. ;) Ana was singing to the tadpole earlier. I put the aquarium in the middle of their school table. It should get them sitting there more joyfully.

We went to a church picnic today but unfortunately it rained. Everyone left except us, another couple, and a woman. We talked while the kids played in the rain. They had a blast and we came home with alot of food.

Tom and I had gone for a bike ride earlier. I keep asking Ed to look at this bike. I feel like it is dragging. It seems like I'm peddling for ever. I think the gears are not working correctly. I guess that's ok for $8.00. It gets me exercising and some quite time.

I cannot wait for school to start. I'm almost done getting my copying done. We still need to order some curriculum. I'm waiting....

Ed's aunt had given me some money for my bd so I went right out to get some more clothes. I got 1 pair of pants and 1 pair of capris at WM, a pair of capris and shirt at Fashion Bug, a shirt and jacket at the thrift store, and a few math activity books and phonics book at the thrift store.
Not to bad.

OH! I wanted to say, soccer is good for Katie. I think I had mentioned that we signed her up. Well, after soccer the other night, she actually fell asleep on the living room floor!! There wasn't any arguing or any thing of the sort. She was out like a light. Nice!

Have a good night everyone.
