1. My office FINALLY has air conditioning! It's been 2 1/2 long weeks of no cool air.
2. Survived the first week of school - both as an employee and as a student.
3. Clean bathrooms.
4. Sisters who came to visit me this week. Some bringing cheeseburgers and Diet Coke, another bringing cute homemade onesies for me to give for gifts.
5. Pancakes with fresh peaches.

Ahoy Thar Lizzy
(No, this is not a post about my sister...)
I'd like to introduce you to the newest addition to our family. My daughter caught Lizzy the Horned Lizard while we were in Bryce Canyon. She promptly had babies all over my daughter's closet. One survived, and now has a happy home with a cousin.
Lizzy lives in our old fishtank by our kitchen window, and Jayke, our cat, stares at her longingly every once in awhile. She likes crickets, sand, and sun. My daughter faithfully takes her out of her cage once a day so she can get her exercise.
The other day Lizzy went boating:
Who knew a horny toad could be so fun...

School
Catchy title, eh?
Anyway, it's the first day of school! Here are my kids, showing their personalities, this morning before heading off to fourth grade!
I'm so excited for them! Good luck today kiddos!
The first day of school prompted memories of third grade. My last born son and I were reminiscing about how eventful it was. Here's my synopsis of third grade:
The first day of school, my teacher, Mr. Wright taught us the meaning of the word "Difficult". Yes, it was a sign.
Theresa ate paper and liked it. She said it was a good substitute for gum.
Merrilee asked to be my friend. I was so glad. To this day I wonder, though, if my mom talked to her mom about this.
Someone wrote my name with a boy's in the "Tunnel of Love." My best friend Cyndi and I ran out after school equipt with erasers and pencils. First we erased, then we scribbled over it. After all, I wasn't even old enough to date.
Lisa pulled the fire alarm. Bad idea. First, Mrs. Russell caught her by the arm, bruising her, then the firemen gave her "the lecture."
Now, on the fourth grade...
