Busy weekend!
I'm meeting with a September bride tomorrow morning. So excited to see her again and calm the jitters. Her wedding will be beautiful on Lake Minnetonka. The couple has such a great story, I'm honored to be a part of their big day. Double bonus, Sarah is coming with me to the site visit! It's so nice to have my helper with me. Double Double Bonus....double, double coupon day at Rainbow. We'll be in the cities = we're going shopping!
Tim Allen at Treasure Island with another couple on Sunday night. We are giddy beyond belief to get out of the house without kids for a while.
Our team is urgently trying to place a student ASAP in a fun home! He's 17 and from China. He likes basketball, swimming, and snow skiing. Perfect for MN! If you are interested in more information, please give me a call. It would be nice to place him by mid-June so he can prepare for August arrival.
How's the Biggest Looser going? Well, the pounds haven't been coming off much (4 lbs total), but I have better endurance (I went from running for 7 minutes straight to running 20 minutes straight), stronger muscles, clothes are fitting better, and I'm down a bra size. Woohoo!! Somethings working right. Won't be long now and the pounds will follow.
Our student from Brazil has been emailing and we've been sharing pictures. He seems like a really nice kid. We are eager to pick him up from the airport in August.
Larson got off the bus today, the last day as a Kindergardener. Let the summer begin!

Not what I planned, but good anyway...
OK, so today didn't go like I had thought. The little monkey has goop in his eyes when I get back from lab. All afternoon Ty didn't want to nap. I hope he doesn't have an ear infection. He's been fighting a cold and teething.
We have a busy night. Larson has soccer and I have a Couponing class; both at 6:30. We have it all planned. I'll go to the class and Jeff will take the kids to soccer. I take advantage of the tax deal at Papa Murphys and pick up a $5 pizza for dinner. As the world of a mother turns, Ty needs to go to bed early and it wouldn't be right for us to take him to soccer. So, I'm missing Coupon class. I'm SO bummed! (For more information about Couponing class go to www.tidytightwads.com. Another good source for frugalness is www.confessionsofamom.com. Follow their blogs or catch them on FB.)
The good news: I'm sitting at home alone for about a hour while Ty is sleeping and Jeff and the kids are in town. Another set of good news, there's a "Stretching the Family Dollar" webcast on www.247moms.com tomorrow night. I can still get something out of this week. Yay!!
Despite Ty's little cold, we managed to get some fun stuff done today. Ali had a friend over for a few hours after preschool. Ironically, I find it easier to have one more child in the house because it keeps everyone entertained. Instead of hearing the whiney "mom, mom, mom", there's giggling, running, and playing. The girls and I made cookies while we waited for Larson to come home. The kids sat nice while we had pizza for dinner. They chatted and giggled the whole time. Everyone had a great time.
Another positive, we picked an exchange student to stay with us for 5 months this fall! I'm very excited that the process is almost over. The student and his family should be receiving our family profile to (hopefully) accept us. I'll post more info as I know more. Our whole family is super excited!
