Birthdays are just beginning for us...
Kyra comes home tonight and we're ready. Ryan is baking her a birthday cake and I've planned Kyra's favorite meal. All of her birthday gifts are wrapped and ready to be opened, so I think we're set. Craig has to leave early in the morning for Raleigh so if we don't do it tonight we'd have to wait until this weekend. I'm sure she doesn't want to wait.
Her birthday was actually on the 28th but since she was gone we're doing it tonight. Then, Austin's birthday is August 12, my niece is August 22, Ryan is September 15, my dad is September 29th, my mom is October 9, mine is October 10th, Craig's is November 8, my brother is November 10 and my sister's is November 18th... just in time for Christmas.
I feel like crap. When the baby was here this weekend she had a terrible cold... and now I do. My throat hurts and my sinuses are killing me. I'm hoarse from coughing so much. I KNEW not to get her once Rusti told me she was sick, but I figured it'd be ok. Yeah, right.
Craig just got back in town yesterday and now he's leaving again tomorrow morning. I feel so bad for him because he looks so tired. Maybe he'll be able to catch up on sleep this weekend. I'm almost done buying the girls school clothes. Unless Kyra has gone through a major growing spurt while in California. If not, then all that's left to buy is jeans for her and Ryan from Hollister. I have to buy Ryan's jeans there because that's the only place I can get them long enough and she wants Kyra to have some from there. We've basically thrown out all of Kyra's clothes because they're just sort of frumpy. I've bought her some REALLY cute stuff since she wasn't here to pick it out. If she hates it I'll exchange it, of course but we're hoping she'll realize that she's in high school now and dress the part. Oh yeah, I have to buy their tennis shoes and they've both asked for Dr. Martin's this year so that'll mean that I'm only buying those shoes and if they want to wear something else they'll have to wear their stuff from last year because buying their tennis shoes and Docs will cost me almost $400 between the two of them just for shoes, sooooooo I'm not doing anything more than that on shoes.
I'm just so glad I didn't wait to get school stuff ready. Typically, we're just finishing up basketball the week before school starts but since Ryan's last two tournaments were here at home, we've been able to do school shopping over the last two weeks AND school doesn't start until the end of the month this year. YAY!!
So that's all I've got right now.
