Refreshing

Ah... I like the new blog look. It looks refreshing to me. We need to go to the beach again.

Let's see, there's just under a month until school starts, I should make a list of what we want to do:

1. Have a Mommy-lunch and afternoon with each girl by herself.
2. Another beach trip.
3. A trip (involving a plane) to a touristy animal park?
4. A trip to local amusement park where we have free admission all summer.
5. Gymnastics camp (we have it reserved for the next time N3nny is on vacation)
6. Something for Three-a's birthday
7. Figure out if one of my brother's is coming to visit
8. Get more tomatoes from our garden... the plants look pretty good, but in terms of production, it's been lame so far this year.
9. Get cat for twoK.

(I don't think #3 will happen, but who knows.)
