CHP Academy Day 40/187

So I know I don't usually write on Fridays, but it is day FORTY.  It seems like I should write on day forty.  :)  Today was fun for me.  After dropping off A and H, M and I headed over to Target to spend some birthday money.  I would like to thank those who gave me money or a gift card for my tea kettle, cheap wine glasses (I was down to one), The Office season 8, and Titanic on Blu-ray.  :)  I will now have hours of entertainment along with some beverages.  So thank you!  We also walked through the Halloween section of the store.  Every time one of the things would go off, M would say, not in a very convincing voice: "It not real. It just a toy. Not scary."  :)  After Target, I met up with my BFF at our church where the youth was putting on a yard sale.  I bought the board game Cranium for $2.00!  FYI-  If you are going to donate a board game to a church for a youth yard sale, and have boys living in your house (pretty sure boys had something to do with it); you should probably look into the box. You know, just to make sure there are no drawings of male genitalia on the pads of paper that go with the game.  Because, even if they are very creative, (there was a ninja, one was a cop, one was even a rocket ship in space with "U.S.S.R" on the side) you never know who might be the first to open said box.  Luckily, this time it was the adult and not two little girls under the age of eight.  :)
M was super excited because Auntie A (my BFF) bought her a bracelet that she has been proudly wearing ever since.  She also had a great time of pointing it out to her sisters.

After the yard sale, the three of us stopped by Starbucks for coffee and then a very quick - and for me, free- shopping trip to T.J. Max. By that time it was time to get the girls from school.  So we told Auntie A good-bye, and headed off to the school.  Once we were able to fight our way out of the parking lot, we were headed to the pet store to buy the "your dog is super old" dog food.  Well at least that was the plan, when we got to the pet store the girls noticed the newly opened Halloween store and started begging to go in.  All three girls: "Mommy please! We promise we won't ask you to buy anything!  Please! We just want to look! Mommy PLEASE!"  We were not in the store thirty seconds before all three of them had said the wanted something.  The funniest part was they refused to go to the "scary looking" side of the store. 

After that it was home-again-home-again-jig-a-dee-jig, where we waited for Brian to come home.  YAY Friday!!

Brian had a pretty good day too.  He said PT was hard and included 125 nose-in-the-rings, but the rest of the day was not too bad.  He had two test, which he is pretty sure he did well on.  He spent the last hour of the day just waiting for five.  After the week he had it was nice to have that break.  So Week Six is down!  :)

Blessings,
