8/23/16: I found this recipe on pinterest for these corndog mini muffins, so I decided to give them a try for the kids. Made them for dinner last night and both kids did nothing but rave about them! "They are so good!" "They're amazing!" "This is the best thing you have ever made for us!" haha I am glad they liked them! Something simple I can make for them that they love. :)

8/22/16: Well, I was late getting up and getting the kids out the door to school and back home by 8. I was only 15 minutes late for work, so not terrible. But it did throw my day off some. So, Josh and I had a lazy day. We didn't cook dinner, he went to go pick up food for us. We watched tv and just hung out. It was nice.

8/19/16: Friday Josh got off work early but it was raining pretty good, we just went and grabbed dinner at Waldo Pizza than had a couple beers close to the house.

8/20/16: Saturday I went to the movies with one of my girl friends, we went to see Bad Moms. It was hilarious! We then grabbed a beer & a bite to eat afterwards. Very fun night!

8/21/16: Picked the kids up from their dad, then we went to Target. They each got a new book! Brodie's is about Pokemon and Naomi's is about a shy kitten.

8/17/16: Wednesday I made myself some pork chops and potato au gratin. It was delicious! Naomi enjoyed the potatoes but my chops were a little too spicy for her, but she did try them!

8/18/16: The Royals won, Alex Gordon hit a home run with the bases loaded! It was a great game.

8/16/16: Kids had their second full day at school and had a good day. When we got home they did homework, we all did chores - kids cleaned their room, Josh cleaned our room, and I cleaned the kitchen, then we ate dinner, Nomi and I went outside and she ran 20 laps, then inside Josh read us all a book, then it was bedtime! Trying a new routine with them so they have an easier school year, homework once we get home followed by snacks, dinner, running, bathtime (if needed), hang out a bit/book reading, then bed. They were so wore out last night, they were out in 30 minutes of laying down! Hopefully we can keep up this schedule :)

8/11/16: NAOMI TURNED 6!!!! Wednesday night I went to bed with her and we snuggled. In the morning we woke up, sang to her, she opened her presents. Then she was asking for cake, so we had cake and sang more to her. Then their dad picked the kids up early so he could spend time with her. Later that evening was a meet the teachers/ice cream social event at their school. I met up with them and we met their teachers, they had ice cream, and got everything figured out for their first day of school!

8/12/16: The kids had their first days of school as a second grader and first grader. It was only a half day. I picked them up, they told me they had a good day. Had some kids from their previous classes in their new classes so that was nice.

8/13/16: Saturday the boys played a new video game and were bonding over it. After taking Josh to work, on the way home there was some fella dressed as a banana on a motorcycle behind us! Brodie and I saw him, Naomi was asleep and missed him. We then went thrifting and I made a hat rack for our entry way.

8/14/16: The kids actually let me sleep in on Sunday and then made a comment "aren't you glad we let you sleep!" ha! The day before they woke up at 7am, this day they let me sleep until 10! We had a simple day, took Josh to work and then hung out at home.

8/15/16: Josh and I had a nice lazy day at home. We ordered to-go for dinner and just watched TV. It was a nice lazy day, stayed in my robe most of the day.

8/10/16: The kids' Nana came over for a little bit to hang out to drop off Nomi's birthday presents and watch her open them. After she left Nomi and I went to Dollar General to grab stuff for cake. We ordered take out, I baked the cake, and then we gave one of the cats a bath. haha Fun evening :)
