Back In The Swing of Things

We returned from our wonderful summer vacation safe and sound - Thank Goodness!
(However, I felt like I needed a mini vacation to recover : )

It didn't take long to get back into life. Here are a few highlights of our first week back:

  • Celebrated Eric's 13th birthday - teenager in the house!

  • Had a farewell dinner for dear friends who are moving back to the States - boo hoo, sniff sniff : (

  • Unpacked 8 suitcases and 3 carry - ons - still doing laundry.

  • Eric and Paige started school - back to packing lunches, ugh!

  • Swim practice has begun, resulting in my alarm going off at 5:20am!!!!! I guess I should be thankful that I'm not the one who has to swim : )

  • Have already had an Electrician and A/C guy out for various repairs - I'm positive they have a conspiracy thing going on.

  • Still cleaning up Mindy puke - could she be bulimic?

  • Smashed a gecko in the car door - oops, sorry!

  • Scratching away at several mosquito bites - netting over bed is going up TODAY!

  • Spent 5 hours in the doctors office for ONE APPOINTMENT - saw blood and urine that I didn't want to see.....
However, the highlight of my week was when I picked up Paige from a friends house only to find out she had TURNED BLUE!!! Yes, a Smurfette!! After the panic was over and our heart rates returned to normal, we found out that the girls were experimenting with blue food coloring by putting it in a spray bottle, spraying each other's clothes (that were still on their body's) hoping to "tie dye" them. When they saw their skin was turning blue, they jumped into the pool, but no luck.

After a shower and bath, most of it is gone. It only looks like she's not receiving enough oxygen or something......

WELCOME HOME!!!
