This one is for the Siestas!

Okay, so this morning I was putting on my mascara when all of the sudden I felt the urge to sneeze. Sneezing and mascara don't mix.... at all. You just cannot sneeze without shuting your eyes...... tightly. Unfortunately, it takes longer than 2 seconds for mascara to dry.Needless to say, I was a little frustrated at having to wipe off and re-apply! Thankfully, that wasn't a sign as to how the rest of my Sunday was going to go. It's been grand, but I think allergy season is upon us because I have been sneezing ALL DAY!

Would someone PLEASE turn off that alarm!!

Monday morning 6:45, Tuesday morning 6:45, Wednesday morning 6:45, I think you get what I'm saying here. There is a watch lurking in our house somewhere that is set to go off at 6:45AM---- AND WE CAN'T FIND IT!!!! This is becoming quite an annoying thing for me as I am more of a 7 or 7:15 kinda girl. We have turned this place upside down trying to find it and of course I'm not going to get up at 6:45, when it's going off to try and find it. Now, I realize that 6:45 is probably late for a lot of you and starting next week(school will be back in session)I will probably be thankful for it. It's just the fact that I can't find it that is driving me crazy!
Here is another little somethin'. At supper tonight a kid walked in with this shirt on- "Studies show that 5 out of 4 people have problems with fractions." That cracked me up! :) LOL

Wizard of Oz Video

"> <>

Here is the video of the kids in the play that they did last weekend. This was a Junior Civic production with kids ages 3-18. They had lots of fun and love to act. Sarah is in the white skirt and orange/blue shirt and Ben is in the orange short and green shirt.

It's Just Plain HOT!!

Whew! It is hotter than hot here in Indiana. We've bypassed 90 degrees for several days now. Humid too......so humid! Eric and I have decided to rejoin the local Y this week. We quit going in the spring because we told ourselves that we could get plenty of exercise without the Y---- we were so very wrong! Now that we're back, I hurt in every possible place. We have a run here in November called theTurkey Trot (go ahead and laugh, you know you want to) that is a 4 mile run.... that's my goal for now. This will be my third time to run in it. Last year Sarah ran the one mile, so she will probably want to do it again. Enough rambling for now.

Tomorrow (Friday) is our 11th wedding anniversary- Yeah!

I made Meatloaf for Supper....... and he ate it?

For those of you who know this family well, you know that Ben (5yrs) is VERY picky when it comes to food. He is my PB&J man, for sure! Well, Eric and I have decided that we are going to start incorperating more veggies and fruits into this family's diet. So tonight I made meatloaf for supper, along with roasted potatoes, snow peas and red peppers. Now, before you all start thinking that I have turned into Rachel Ray, the veggies all came together, frozen in a little green bag. It took me all of 10 seconds to toss it into a pot on the stove!! Anyway, Ben actually ate the food!! He loved my meatloaf and actually asked for more. I couldn't believe my ears..... there is hope for him yet! Yes, there was a breakthrough in the Rogers' home tonight--Yee Haw! Yes, the smallest things will excite a mommy. ;)

Counting Down

Well, we have one week until school starts. We have crayons, pencils, glue sticks, folders and kleenex coming out of our ears! Oh yeah, and like 1000 baggies of every size!! The kids are getting really excited to start a new year. This will be the first year for all of them to be in school. Ben will be in Kindergarten, Sarah will be in First grade and Ethan will be in Fifth grade. I am sure that we will be keeping busy with three different schedules to adapt to! I am taking care of the fund raising this year for the school also, so I will be plenty busy!! We have had a great summer and are thankful that we were able to do so many fun things and see so many of you!

The shirt says it all
Hook'em Horns!!
Ben and I took a little trip last weekend to visit friends and see some family in Texas. He loved flying in the big plane and was happy to finally meet Lily, his cousin. He also had fun playing with Jenna, Little Randy and Mikey. For some reason he had taken to the Texas Longhorns. He bought a Horns hat and wears it.....ALOT!
