If I counted correctly, we have 15 things to squeeze into next week  ;o)  Well, I can half cross off  "get a puppy".  We have put the word out, have visited shelters, and are checking Craigslist...the thing is, I don't want to settle & I don't want to pay a million dollars...so we are taking our time and it might take a tad longer than 1 week.  I also changed "make friendship bracelets" to "back to school party" (which we will do on the last day of summer) - my girls had no interest at all in making them!

So far, this has been the busiest, most fun summer of my life I think.  My kids are at GREAT ages to do all kinds of fun things and "get it".  Well I better go plan out the next week, it's gonna be a busy one!  Anyone want to play with us?
