I'm A survivor..almost

of the first of three crazy weekends. This being the easiest of them. Wish me luck in the coming weeks. I say almost a survivor because the running for the day is not quite over yet. Tomorrow will be a day of R&R. No one has anything to do and it's MY last day of summer so we can sleep in late. Chelsea starts drill team practice on Tuesday so I'll be up and out the door by 7:45 each morning at the latest. A couple of days it will be 6:45. YUCK. I'm not a morning person and hate that the drill team practices before school.


This weekend was an early family celebration of Brittany's upcoming birthday. Combination birthday and fall school clothes shopping for her plus the traditional family birthday dinner. Thank goodness these are always at a restaurant and require no cooking on my part. Sharing a couple of shots from last night. This is a "tree" made with empty wine bottles. Val and Britt NEEDED a picture. Probably the only one they wanted taken!

And here's all four girls together. Haven't had one of these since Brooke's graduation. Val said Britt looks like a princess and the rest of them look like they are going to a funeral...oh well, it was her birthday dinner. LOL
