Ah, naptime again…early today since the wee-beasties were all fighting and tired. They went down with no issues so I’m patting myself on the back for the good call. I got the front and back lawn mowed (and for those of you who know…the front lawn HAS to be push mowed per Dee so that was a labor of love) and an appt set up to take all the kids to Picture People and get a photo done. I think it’ll be nice to get one with all 4 kids in it, the boys and Alice (their “sister”). Last time we were there we got one with Levi and Alice and the photographer asked Levi if she was his girlfriend…he said, “that’s my sister” and looked at her oddly. It was great. We’ll see how today’s photo shoot goes, it’s always hit or miss but usually we get at least one keeper.

Got the laundry going, hoping to get some cleaning and stuff done today so that we can just have the weekend to relax with the boys. Thinking about taking them to see “Cars” tomorrow, they really do love going to the movies. It’s amazing it can hold their attention, but it usually does. The key is FOOD. If they have their juice and treats they are good to sit for awhile.

Got a cool surprise yesterday, a clothing voucher from DSHS for Levi for $300! So, I went shopping at Fred Meyers and got him tons of back to school clothes as well as a few things for the summer. It was really tough for me to spend that big a chunk of money on kid’s clothes all at one time, though since I NEVER do anything like that.

Well, the kids are slowing getting up here, so I gotta get ready to get pictures done. Wish me luck!
