Wow....

... is it ever quiet at my house. The kids are with Grandma, and I have all this "free" time. I find myself sitting and just listening to nothing. I actually cleaned out the kids' dressers and assessed "the need" for school clothes, took everything that was kicked out of the dresser to goodwill. Tonight I braved WalMart and purchased almost all of the kids' school supplies, and I am tackling the mounds of laundry created from vacation.

As much as I do miss the kids, I am looking forward to the next couple of days. The list of to-do's....

*Coffee Date with my husband AT STARBUCKS!
*Finish painting hallway
*School Clothes Shop
*Dinner out with Friends (no need for a babysitter!)
*Wash all bedding
*Spring Cleaning in August
*Dinner in with some other friends
*Finish setting up my office at school
*Make a meal plan for next 4-6 weeks (could be a feat!)
*Plan Judah's Birthday Party
*Purchase books (college starts again on Monday!)
*Sleep a little in there somewhere
*Thursday go to Boise to pick up kids
*Friday... family pictures by Defining Details Photography

Sounds like an awesome week. Enjoy the calm before the storm, cause I am sure there won't be much quiet to enjoy once school starts.
Hey, if you want to borrow that little couch, for you fam pics, you are welcome to it. Just let me know.

Sounds like a busy week ahead for you! Impatiently waiting for the call to find out if my life will be simple or extremely complicated this school year! Seriously praying they grant our transfer to DVE!

Spring cleaning in August, love it! So glad I'm not the only one who does that.

Sounds like you're going to have your hands full even without the kids.

Enjoy your "break" you deserve it!
