greetings and salutations...

from the land of busy, busy, hot, miserably hot, people. Logan and I are attending his Reconciliation and First Communion prep classes all this week and next. We have Lynn's mom and dad in town lending us a hand with Molly and Caleb and the house this week and next week my parents will be in town to the same. The kids are really enjoying the idea of Grandparentpalooza 2008 and Lynn and I are enjoying all the extra hands around to help.

It has been approximately 4000 degrees every day this week. The utility bill came this morning...only $130 more this month than last! Our A/C units are working overtime with the temps holding in the nineties past 10pm. I feel sorry for them. We're watering everything constantly in an effort to keep things alive or at least marginally alive. Right now November can't get here any quicker.

In yay-for-me news: I've finally convinced Lynn we NEED, and I mean really, really, really need elfa in our lives. We are doing the kitchen pantry immediately...as in he's picking it all up tomorrow and we're installing it over the weekend. I C A N N O T W A I T ! ! ! When the 30% off sale rolls around in December we will tackle the closet under the stairs and the closet at the top of the stairs too. The pantry could not wait for the sale...I mean my sanity couldn't wait for the sale. I have never been more excited about organizational products in my life as I am right this very minute. I am positively giddy.

I'm hoping to get some sewing and enamelling done over the weekend in between the elfa installation and Logan's first Reconciliation. Also I'm getting the ATC swap itch again...must think of something good for a theme...like ice and snow and blue northerns. Be back in a few days!
