All-in-one

I've meant to do this post all week....first I skipped over it on Monday, thinking "oh I'll do it Tuesday" but then skipped it again because I had a popcorn-buzz from the movies...then it was WedsThursnowit'sFriday. Seriously. Where did the week go? It's not a sad thing...I'm so excited for fall I could scream. And there's so much going on in the coming months, it's gonna be fantastic!

This past weekend, like this past week, went by a tad too fast. We took Emily to the airport to fly back to Utah, before that I showed up to a baby shower that doesn't take place till this weekend....whoops, and we did our grocery shopping, which we do together now and it takes entirely too long! :)
I ordered Bella her first pair of REAL Crocs....yes I did...and I love, love, love them. They are usually a bit too expensive for my taste to buy for kids, so I make the girls wear the knock-offs, but Crocs.com was having a buy one, get one 1/2 off sale. Which made them just as much as the knock-offs. BUT...there is always a catch. I get the box...and find ONE pair, not two like I ordered (I have this thing where I buy the girls the same shoes...its easier, less fighting). AND...there is no invoice or anything in this box either. So, I spend 1/2 an hour on hold on the customer service line...only to find out they are closed on the weekends. I waited till Monday and called again, only to be on hold for another 30 minutes. I finally get "Carrie" on the line and she tells me they are out of stock, so they just shipped me the one and charged full priced. I kindly explained to her that the ONLY reason I bought these shoes was for the discount! And you know what she did? She said, well...watch for them to come in stock and I'll give you that second pair at the discounted price. So, we shall see....it's annoying but it's not like I've never overspent on a pair of shoes before. Bella loves them...sometimes I think she forgets she has them on b/c they are so light weight. Ü

We also got a fun package from Grammy. The girls were IN LOVE with these balloons (and James, too). Of course, we learned that the grass is like razor sharp and we lost this poor green balloon mere seconds after this picture was taken, may he RIP.

Aube has become a huge fan of taking EVERYTHING IN HER ROOM to bed with her at night. This was the beginning, when she first got into bed. By the time she fell asleep, it was so crowded she was falling off the bed. Also, she refuses to go anywhere without that horse and Princess Finona.

In our quest to perfect nachos, we have upgraded from the 16oz can ($2.49) to the 6lb can ($6-ish). Yes, that's right...the can that is usually reserved for a church bazaar to feed 100 people, now resides in our fridge. Can we do it? YES WE CAN! Will this monstrosity be wasted? I say NAY, all you doubting-Thomas' (and Thomasettes). I've been ignoring the nutritional label on the side of the can...if there even is one.

And me? Well...no pictures, sorry...you know the photographer never shows up in any of the pictures! Plus...my face is breaking out like I'm a 14 year old again. It's totally not fair that I have to go thru this embarassing mess TWICE in my life. Our insurance covers dermatology, so I think I'm going to bite the bullet next week and finally make an appointment. It's seriously that bad. My 10 year High School reunion is next month (yay!), so this is seriously SO. NOT. COOL. We are taking the girls to their first football game, too! Go Bulldogs! (You know I'm just excited to make them some spiffy shirts and hairbows Ü).

So, there ya go...all-in-one. This coming weekend is going to be not so fun....I have to be in two places at once at 11am tomorrow, don't quite know how that's gonna work out....and then I get to take a nap (sigh) then go to Stake leadership training, then to work till 3am! It may not sound like much...but for me, Queen of sitting on the couch and all I want to do it make this, it's ALOT.
