Summer....almost over.

...kinda sad, isn't it?....that summer is practically over?  In less than 3 weeks, it's back to making school lunches, working out driving schedules and helping with the dreaded homework.  I hate that part.  Sometimes, I feel like I'm the one going to school.....and I specially hate when the kids come home with a special project that I need to go shopping for.  I remember once awhile back while learning about ancient Rome, Jordan had to go into school dressed as Pharaoh.  Where does one get a Pharaoh costume and what in any way would that have helped him learn about the Roman times better than if he just went to school in his own clothes????  Sometimes, I just scratch my head and roll my eyes.

I took Alyssa back to school clothes shopping last week.  She's entering High School now and it's all about the clothes.  She got a couple of jeans from Bluenotes and some nifty new tops at Urban Outfitters.  Of course, the outfit is not complete without the hair stuff and she also bought these:

 

I normally would have questioned why she needed 10 new headbands, but she looks really cute wearing them and it keeps her hair off her face!  Plus, she doesn't know it yet, but I plan to wear some of them myself....and no, I won't be wearing the one with the pink bow!

Jordan moves out in 2 weeks -- to go live in my brother's apartment which is much closer to the university.  I need to help him move and get settled in, with whatever food he needs, dishes, toilet paper, sheets, etc. --  all the essentials that an 18 year old boy would not think of.  I'm anticipating a lot of "Mom, I don't have any blah, blah, blah....can you bring me some?" phone calls the first few weeks. 

My new Winter Wishes card class is ready to go and you can see the class samples at the I'm Impressed blog here.  Here is one of the cards up close.
