Long Weekend...

We have a 3 day weekend this week, and it's been pretty fun. It's cool outside finally. Not for long it seems though. We'll take it while we can. Midget has a pair of ugg boots we got in Kuwait, these are her absolute favorite shoes. She would wear them all day everyday. We tried to ignore the fact they are 2 sizes too small, okay maybe 3. I had gotten her a pair at target last year, hoping they would appease her, they didn't. Apparently they are not as soft inside. So Friday we were going out to dinner, and we saw a sign at the shoe store 50% off. They were not really, Monkey said it was false advertising. Life lessons are hard to learn :) We got her a pair, they were nearly half off, and she loves them. I went ahead and got the spray to make them waterproof, and got a size big so they will last longer. She is so happy, she slept in the things. Go figure. Saved us a trip to Kuwait for now...
Monkey is all back into his skateboarding. He's learning to Ollie, and it's killing me. I keep waiting for the fall, or the crack of something. I think i prefer his nerdy side. It's safer.
We went to a craft show at the church yesterday, and got some xmas presents. One for dad, and one for grandpa. Midget got some clothes for her doll. The nicest lady makes them herslef, sweet grandmomtherly lady. Midget loved her. So now her doll even has a halloween costume.
We're lounging around today, doing nothing. Monkey's friend spent the night. They loved going through his house yesterday. They are from Trinidad, and had some arabic prayers on the wall. Midget remembered some of the letters. It was funny to see their faces when she started saying them. They were surprised to say the least. She got her report card, and did really well. Monkey's got mixed up in teh computer, so we don't have it yet. His teacher actually came out the the car to make sure i didn't accuse of him of lying, she said she wouldn't have believed it if her son said it to her. That was funny.
We're moving along here. We miss their dad alot. Hopefully we can see him soon. I guess i need to see if Midget has ballet tomorrow. They don't have school, so i wonder if she does? We took a mental health day last week and missed. Shameful i know, but with tae kwan do 2 days, and ballet the other, it's nice to take a break one day. It isn't that much, but it seems like it sometimes. Going to watch a movie with the kids, and enjoy the cool weather.
