Back-to-School

Kids hate it, moms love it... it's the first day of school!!!

This morning I didn't mind the early alarm because I knew that it meant I was just hours away from peace and quiet and... sweet freedom!!!

I love my kids.  I adore my kids!  But that is not going to stop me from appreciating the joys of an empty house for a few hours everyday!

Ironically, those hours are going to include a lot of cleaning, not my favorite thing in the world, but just knowing that whatever I get done will stay done for a few hours makes it worth it! :)

Last night, we set the girls' hair for curls today and they both sported fun, cute, curly dos as they left the house this morning.

Don't they look happy?  Well, at least I know one of them is genuine, the other is too experienced to be fooled. ;)

Happy First Day of School to my kiddos... and ME!  :)

Storybrooke!!!

My cousin, Sami, posted a blog post about the trip she and Cadi took last week to watch filming for their favorite show, Once Upon a Time.  Read about the whole adventure, including how they met their favorite actors here.  It was such a great trip! :)
