Random Things

Wow...I haven't had a new post for a while...we have been busier than expected I guess. Last weekend we enjoyed a 4-day weekend. Saturday was filled with running errands and window shopping. We went bike shopping and narrowed down our choices. We ordered them today! They should be at the store in about a week. Woo hoo!!!

Sunday was about the same as most Sundays...we went to the Commissary and spent way too much on groceries. But we did stock up on some more canned goods. I think Sam's needs to get more of a variety in some of their packs of canned goods. I don't want 12 cans of the same soup if I have to live off of it in the event that a hurricane rips through here and our power is out. But of course, my concerns aren't on the top of their list...hehe. We ended up running over to Sam's to pick up a few things anyway. You can never have too much toilet paper!

On Monday, we went shopping and got some GREAT deals for the kids at Carter's and the Gap. Katie was in sort of a bad mood while shopping so we didn't get to hit as many stores as I would have liked. But that's a good thing because I probably would have ended up just buying them more clothes for next summer. They should almost be all set for next year! Katie is getting so big...I am putting her in 4T and most of the time the stuff is too small - well, the shirts are anyway. Pants still seem a bit long on her, so I have been buying her 5T tops and 4T bottoms for next summer. I just hope they fit when the time comes!

Tuesday, we stayed at home and spent some time in the yard playing and what not. We watched an interesting event on ESPN. We also watched the space shuttle launch. Katie thought that was pretty cool! Brian made some AWESOME steaks that night and we got pretty eaten up by the bugs. Katie has so many bug bites on her legs, arms and face. Poor little thing! Brian had set up the telescope so we got to peek at the moon. Katie thought it was pretty cool. We didn't stay up late enough to see any fireworks...I guess we were pooped!

The rest of the week was pretty uneventful. BUT we did get Kasey in for his 4-month checkup. He weighs in at 15lbs, 10.5 oz - is 24.75 inches and his little noggin is 35cm. The nurse was asking me what I am feeding him - I said, "Cream, apparently!" He has gained 8 pounds in 4 months. That's pretty awesome! He's our short and round little man :)

I missed out on my 10 year high school reunion last weekend. It looked like everyone had a lot of fun. But I am pretty sure I would have been the only sober person there. I was able to look at a bunch of pictures that were taken there. It's amazing how much some people have changed in their appearances! I didn't even recognize a few people. Seriously! I wish I would have been able to make it out there, but driving with 2 very young children for a minimum of 24 hours driving time would have been near impossible for me. I hope to make the next one!
