Elizabeth, the shorts arrived today (right on schedule)! WOW! I don't think Miles has ever had that many shorts in his life. They look like they should fit, but I have to wait until he gets home to find out for sure. THANKS! I will get that money order out to you soon.
Chanon, we've stored bubbles for more than a year that have worked fine. I'm sure that yours will be good, too.
Deb, thanks for the link to Vicki's photos! They look like they are having such a good time!
Today is our 36/63 day. We have 36 days until we leave to head out West and 63 days until we leave for Disney. Of course, I'm the only one who really knows this.
Great! I hope they fit and that he enjoys them!

DS always has that many shorts.
That's kind of cool about the 36/63!
Vicki always has really fun photos! I hope her niece & nephew are having a wonderful time. I can't imagine them NOT having fun!
Janet - We got your check today! Thank you!

DH dropped it in the pool but he said just the envelope got wet.

Only DH would sit and open mail beside the pool on a windy day.
I called my mom to see how her mouth is feeling. She said she is still a little swollen and sore. She also said DS called her yesterday and said DH and I were having a fight about money. Well, YEAH, we were, but it had nothing to do with DS OR my mom and he had no business calling her!

We were having a fight about camera equipment! It's not like we were fighting about the grocery bill!
We have spent $900 so far going back and forth to Kansas (airfare plus buying stuff while we are there, like gas for the people who are shuttling us around, restaurants, etc), which has made saving the last bit for our trip harder than it would have been. It looks like AP rates might not be that great (if there is anything for our dates at all) so it is crunch time for getting the rest of our funds together for the trip. DH and I were having a rather heated debate over more camera crap because we don't need that stuff, and he acts like I am saying "No" just to be a witch. I am saying no because we need to prioritize the trip expenses, and more camera stuff is NOT a priority.
So thanks to Mr. Tattletale now my mom is back on her campaign to convince me not to come up there.

I told her I am coming up for the surgery, and that's that.
We got DS's report card in the mail today. He did pretty well overall! None of his final exam grades were good, which was interesting. Even in reading and language arts his exam grade was only a "C".

But he passed everything, and in the long run I think that's what matters most!
