Piper's Birthday, Cannons Visit

I missed blogging last week because the Cannons came up for labor day weekend for Piper's birthday. We had a fun visit with them. Throughout the visit we played lots of rounds of 5 Crowns, and old maid, did puzzles, went swimming and played video games. We went to the Birds of Prey center, Delsas, the green belt, Pojos, and Five Guys. It was such a fun visit and my kids couldn't love them any more!

Corbin hasn't really been complaining about school very much lately and he hasn't cried or begged to stay home either so that's nice. When I ask him how school is on a scale of 1 to 10 he says 0. I hope he will survive it alright. Gabby seems to still enjoy school and like her teacher although she misses her kindergarten teacher and all of her friends who aren't in her class.

It's been nice to be home with just Piper and Ryan. It is so much easier to run errands with just two and the house is a lot calmer. Piper has been working on writing her letters and she and Ryan like to paint and color.

Yesterday I went to a thrift store with a friend that I'd never been to before. It's where the stuff goes that doesn't get sold at Idaho Youth Ranch. Everything is just tossed in bins. You pay for your stuff by the pound. You pay for furniture by small, $4, medium, $8 and large, $11. I found a rustic coffee table that I love...$4! It was fun. You definitely have to be in the mood to shop at a place like that because it's pretty much a nightmare. Ha.

When I asked Piper which cake she wanted I said, "do you want a chocolate cake or..." She said, "Did you say chocolate!" Ha. That's my girl!

Happy Birthday Pipes!
