Wow, I've been so busy that I haven't updated in almost a month!!
Let's see, the girls are in school now and doing great!
Rylee loves all day school and is having fun buying everyone milk with my money, lol! Her school has a lunch account program that allows us to deposit money ahead of time.
It's great for the kids because they don't have to carry money with them
every day but she doesn't get the fact that it's still money! All she knows
is that she pays for her lunch by placing her finger on the pad so of course
when a new friend asked Rylee to buy her an extra milk Rylee said okay.
Of course I put a stop to it right away and there's no more buying rounds of
milk for the class, lol! If "blanks" mom wants her to have an extra milk
than she can pay for it! Anyway, other than that Rylee is doing great
and every day has been "green" so far. She fills out a chart at the end of each day, green is good, yellow means she was warned about something but stopped, red means it was a bad day
with multiple warnings and blue means the teacher and or principle will be calling soon.
Man, if she ever gets blue she should just find a different bus stop to get off of because
she won't like living here anymore, lol!

Miss Avery had her first school field trip yesterday and absolutely
loved riding the bus! We went to a local orchard to learn about apples. We also
took a hayride, picked an apple and then went to the pumpkin patch to
pick a pumpkin. It was a very fun morning but VERY buggy! I've been told that she's extremely shy in school but she's getting better. I knew she would be shy, that's just who she is.
And I'll end my little update with this picture. I hit up a HUGE consignment sale this week called Just Between Friends and scored big time. Word of advice, if you ever have
this close by check it out! I got SO many things that look brand new and even some stuff with the original tags still on them dirt cheap! Example....brand new Gymboree fleece pants WITH the $22 store tag still on them....$3.50 at the sale!!!!! Brand new shoes for Rylee, store tag reads $16.95.... $5.25 at the sale. Can you say SCORE!!! Anyway, Miss Avery went with me and was such a good girl during the hour I spent shopping so I let her go through the toys to pick something out. She picked out a real working vacuum cleaner. It's cordless,rechargeable and has a place to empty out all the dirt when she's done with it. Price.....$6.00! It's a Bissel so I'm sure someone spent a nice chuck of change on it brand new.
