A Date, A Dare, and a Monster
Sunday, August 30, 2009
Last night, Renea and
I went out on a date while my parents watched
Skyler. We got some Hawaiian BBQ, went to Barnes and Noble, and saw G.I. Joe. At the bookstore, we
bought two copies of The Love Dare and, for Skyler,
The Monster at the End of This
Book (one of my favorite childhood books). I
enjoyed expressively reading the monster book
aloud to Renea in the store! The previous night,
Renea and I watched Fireproof, which prompted us to
buy the book used in the movie. I started the
dare right away. Renea's turn will come soon.
This morning, Skyler decided to wake me up with his new monster book. Since she's a morning person (unlike me), the photographer grabbed the camera at the right moment. I'll get her back!

First Day of School Again
Thursday, August 20, 2009
Skyler finished his first week of his second year
of preschool. I guess last year was
pre-preschool. His teacher is the same, though
it's at a different school. His morning bus ride
is pretty long (about 45 minutes), but he is the
first drop off after school.
Monday, we all got up early, put his new clothes on and got his new Spiderman backpack ready. He went through so many emotions that morning and the photos show them all.

Plants Need a Shower
Thursday, August 13, 2009
This afternoon, Skyler and I got just as soaked
as the plants we watered in the front yard. He
enjoyed spraying the hose at me, but I got away
most of the time. Some of the plants look like
they are about to blow away like tumbleweeds.
Later on, I took him to meet up with family for dinner in Cave Creek. He and I were both not in the best of moods. We survived!

Water Balloon Fight!
Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Skyler gave me some water balloons that his great
uncle Mike brought over this weekend and asked me
to help him fill them. We went outside and got a
little wet, but had fun throwing them at Storm and Gambit. Is
that considered animal cruelty?

A Crash, Credit Card Fraud, and a Missing Wallet
Monday, August 10, 2009
In the past two weeks,
I backed into a friend's car, had my bank account
credit/debit card numbers used to purchase a shoe
store gift certificate, and the other day, lost my
wallet. Thankfully, I didn't have much cash or any
bank cards in it. Our bank account got all the
money fixed from the dozen attempted transactions.
I got a new driver's license and it only took a few
minutes.
I am looking forward to the upswing.
