This is my favorite way of catching up with all the tidbits, so I hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n
1. JCPenny’s sent me a $15 reward for my birthday, so I combined with a coupon they also sent to purchase a Liz Claiborne polo shirt and a sports bra for $8.32! SCORE!<\/p>\n
2. My square foot garden had started looking really sad and dead but after removing all the squash plants, all but a couple of my bean plants and lots of dead branches from the tomato’s it is finally looking much better. We are still getting just a few tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. We have enjoy a watermelon and cantaloupe as well. I am holding out hope that with our recent wetter weather we will get a decent sweet potato harvest in late October.<\/p>\n
3. Someone at work\u00a0 or a patient brought in a table full of tomatoes, corn, cucumbers and cantaloupe. After realizing, that three days later, most of the remaining tomatoes would not last over the weekend, I brought them home and made salsa. It honestly is the best salsa I have ever made. I was able to use the crock pot and froze several batches for use this winter.<\/p>\n
4. My work has finally slow down a bit. I have been able to enjoy going into work around 10am for several days the last couple of weeks. This has given me a chance to work on “school” with the kids.\u00a0 Zach is working on recognizing both letters and numbers. Kendall is work on money and her pencil grip and Lily is focusing on math skills and keyboarding.<\/p>\n
5. The girls have really enjoyed piano lessons this summer and both are doing well. The teacher who is also a friend at our church has decided to continue this fall!\u00a0 The only downfall is finding some wiggle room in our budget.<\/p>\n
6. We have been able to eat at home without going to the store or out to eat for 5 days! I hope we can continue this trend.<\/p>\n
7. I spent some time this weekend organizing pictures. I have actually been able to get the pictures from 2014 organized. I would love to find a way to print pictures on a regular basis, Any suggestions?<\/p>\n
8. I have been able to exercise 3 time last week and I off to a good start for this week. I am continuing to loss weight and my next\u00a0 milestone is 50 pounds!<\/p>\n
9. Both Kendall and Lily started in cheerleading last night. Kendall really liked it but it was “a lot of work”<\/p>\n
10. We are having some crazy summer weather, but at least Matt and the kids enjoyed a morning at the park!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
