See? I came back!

Been a long few days.
The power was out most of today, a truck hit an electric pole, knocked the power and cable out. It was soooooooo hot. We went to the stores to cool off. Went to a thrift store, got Nikki some shorts and Robert some cute shirts. Then to Wal-Mart. Got some cleaning supplies, Robert some shorts, Bradley a new outfit. Oh, and the Twilight board game. Also had to get some kitten food, cats are eating like pigs.
An odd/sad event occurred in Wal-Mart... Nikki is 8 years old, but she can fit size 1-3 in miss/junior clothes. The shorts would be soooooooo short on older girls, but go to her knees, and the capris are like long pants on her. Just was odd, but made me sad realizing she is growing up.
Bryan's kindergarten school list arrived Friday. He has a large list, so glad we have it now and can buy here and there all summer. I have 3 kids to buy school clothes for this year. Nikki is going to get 5 new outfits, as are the boys. The boys have tons of clothes. Nikki has been growing out of everything, she is 49 inches tall. 13 inches shorter than me!
We brought Cotton's sister in. She is yeloowy-orange colored, so we named her Sunny. The third kitten found a home. Smudge is getting lovey, which is a sign of impending labor. Peanut is in hog heaven with babies in the house again for her to look after. And Snuffy is just happy that he can jump from the ottoman to the bed since we put him on weight control dog food.
Big day of cleaning tomorrow. A friend is coming to visit from Texas on Monday! Can't wait to meet you Jen!
