Here it is, the end of September, and I haven't had time for anything this month. We have been so busy with school and work, everything else has been put on hold. Halloween is in a month, then Thanksgiving and then Christmas! Where did this year go!
The kids have been in school for about 6 weeks now and I just got their Mid-terms. Holly is absolutely loving Kindergarten and she is doing great. Brody has A's and B's in science, math and history. He's struggling a little bit with reading, but we are working on that. It is such a dramatic change from last year for him, I couldn't be more proud. This is his last year of elementary school. They are growing up way too fast.
If our lives ever slow down a little, I might be able to get some projects done...lol. I'm not really holding my breath, but it's a wish. I'm really going to try to not let it be an entire month before I get something else done. Tata for now!!

Holly's Allergy Testing
Here is the layout that I put together to remind Holly how she felt on the day of her allergy testing she had done earlier this week. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. She is feeling much better now after having been on her meds for about a week. They are really doing the trick!

What a week!!
This has been such a busy week already, I don't know where to start. It's only Wednesday and we've already had more going on here in three days than we normally do in a month!
On Monday, Labor Day, we had a fantastic BBQ at our house with all of our good friends. The weather was perfect and the food was even better..lol. It was so great to see all of the little ones playing together and having such a great time. The big kids had just as much fun playing the Wii and Red-Neck Golf.
On Tuesday, I took Holly to the allergist. She was tested for just about every kind of allergy known to man (except for foods). She tested positive for everything except dogs, feathers and dry mold. The poor girl is even allergic to cockroaches! I didn't even know that they tested for that..lol. She was not real happy with me when they had finished. She informed me that she would never be coming back to this doctor...lol. I don't blame her. I took some pictures with my cell phone if I could just figure out how to download them I will post them here so you can see the torture that I made her endure. They put her on two different nasal sprays, eye drops and steroids because her nasal cavity was completely swollen shut. My poor baby!! She itched all day yesterday because her back was just covered in hives from the testing. I will have to say that she slept all night last night, which hasn't happened in a couple weeks because she was actually able to breathe!!
Today, we have carpet installers ripping apart our entire house...lol. It's a good thing we had planned on doing this anyway because the allergist said we needed new carpet for Holly (they also told us to replace her mattress and pillow and install an air purifier on the furnace. Do these people think we are made of money...lol). But anyway, they new carpet is beautiful and I can't wait to share some pictures with you. We've needed this for about seven years now...lol. I'm just dreading when they leave because then I have the monumental task of putting everything back in all the bedrooms and living room. I'm not looking forward to that. It's like moving all over again. But I'm glad we're getting this done.
I hope that the rest of the week is nice and quiet (I'm not holding my breath though). I'm hoping to have some new layouts done and pictures to share with you later on this week. So until then, ta ta!! :)
