Random Things

Thankfully the weather over the past weekend wasn't too terrible. We had rain - and lots of it, but nothing too bad. We were stuck in the house all weekend due to the rain, but I had the kids working on crafts and I did some much needed scrubbing.

I've also been doing a lot of online shopping for upcoming birthdays/Christmas. I have many saved shopping carts with many different retailers. I figure I will purchase a few things at a time. Maybe that will help save some money in the long run. I like to wait and see if the price drops. :)

Brian's been gone for a week already. It's gone by quick. Of course every time Katie doesn't get something she wants it's "I want my daddy". Ha!

We are planning on visiting Brian for Thanksgiving and Christmas now. We are going to go to Build a Bear for Katie's birthday with one of her little friends. It should be fun. I think she will like it! We'll have to go to Destin Commons...I might try to stop in to Williams Sonoma while I am there. I would LOVE to pick up a few things there!

First week of fall, eh? It's still hitting almost 90 every day and with the heat index/humidity it certainly feels warmer. The air conditioner runs almost non stop still. I miss the cool autumn mornings and the changing of the leaves. It really doesn't look as nice down here when seasons change. Everything goes from green to brown. That's it. No red, yellow or orange. Just brown. I am hoping to get out this weekend and buy some Halloween decorations to spruce things up.
