Joy Comes In The Morning

First and foremost- we made it into the theater to see "Bee Movie" this morning!! Woo-hoo. The movie was really cute and except for the fact that the theater could have passed for the sick waiting room at Brian's office- it was actually an enjoyable experience. (Seriously, I hope none of us ends up sick at the lake this week after being around all the coughing and sneezing...) I was a woman on a mission today. Immediately after the movie, we went to the grocery store (never fun with the girls in tow, but had to be done). The girls were awful at the store, but Annelise explained to me that they just don't like to go and she doesn't know why they act so terrible but she claims they cannot control themselves. Sure, uh-huh. ; ) Got the groceries, got them put up/packed for the lake. Got the bathrooms cleaned and also vaccummed the house- which were my only 2 housecleaning goals for today. (No, I didn't really reach for the stars, there, but I truly did not even expect to even get that done.) Took the recycleables (filled up my whole Sequoia) got them separated and put into the big bins. Picked up B's meds at Target and got a few little things in the dollar section that were 75% off. While at Target, Annelise saw some training bras with little tiny sequins on the edges and had a fit. She is only 6 but has been begging for a training bra "just to play in". They were on clearance, so of course I thought about what a laugh I would get when Brian saw her wearing it and had to get it. She went home, put it on and also stuffed some baby socks in it (hilarious) and came downstairs in it without her shirt. Brian was horrified and I got a great laugh out of that. She was told she could only wear it at home (it is way too big) and she then proceeded to eat dinner with it on and still refused to put on her shirt. One day I am going to make so much fun of her when I bring that up again.... Tommorrow morning we leave for the lake for a week - we are all very excited. (Hopefully the trailer will withstand the week- especially with shem-loving "Mr. Paranoia" coming down with his family next week-end...) We are meeting with the builder we want to use for the lakehouse on Monday, so that will be interesting. Otherwise we have no plans and just look forward to some relaxing, lazy family time. Hope everyone has a great 4th! No internet or cell service there- so I'll be back in a week with a probable really long post and lots of pictures!

That is so cute...a training bra! I have so much to look forward to. Little girls are a lot of fun and very dramatic.

Have a great 4th and drive carefully. Can't wait to see the pictures
