08.01.11  monday it's august already... only one more month of summer vacation... grocery shopping at wal-mart... all by myself... went to einstein bagels afterward... i was planning on making aug 1st my get back to eating well and exercising date... haha... had a couple design projects to work on today... max had boxing tonight... he did really good... after doing a bunch of different drills, they each took turns in the ring with the teacher, punching and kicking a big exercise ball... he was having a good time... we stopped at starbucks for his post-workout chocolate milk (and me a black tea)... darric had to go run a call after he got home from work, so he got home a little while after us... tried a new spaghetti sauce tonight - not good...

08.02.11  tuesday i took madi to target to get school supplies... max had no interest in going... i ended up getting a new cookie sheet because i probably need to try another batch of my grandma's cookies before i ever get back to eating well... we went and saw the smurfs with jen and the kids (and christian)... the kids liked it ;) ... 

08.03.11  wednesday we went to jen's for a meeting and to take photos of our back to school printables...

08.04.11.  thursday darric's off the rest of the week... i was supposed to be going to blogher (with jen + jodie) this weekend, but we weren't exactly sure when awburn and tauni's babies were going to arrive... so we decided to wait... the five of us went to breakfast at ihop... it was freezing in there and we felt crappy after eating... darric took max to his boxing tonight... they returned after just a few minutes... max refused to go in... he said it was because there was a new kid in the class...  

08.05.11  friday started cleaning up the house... i didn't want to do it all in the morning... darric and max worked in the front yard... the girls decided to switch rooms... leaving most of the furniture where it was... it took madi forever to get everything put away... ordered angelina's pizza for dinner... it's pretty good... darric's been in the mood for wings and fingers lately...

 

08.06.11  saturday got up and finished cleaning the house... while darric and kenzie took kobe to get his shots... he can go play with other dogs now... then, darric and max pulled the big dead bush out of the back yard... there was some sawing involved too by the little guy... i was not aware of this at first... probably a good thing... the ausmans came over to watch the ufc fight with us... the kids had a great time playing with each other...

08.07.11  sunday we took a trip to the park with kobe... darric and max shot some hoops... kenzie and madi tried getting kobe used to walking on a leash... then the boys tried to play with the lacrosse... then mackenzie had a turn and kept throwing the ball behind herself and didn't know where it went... we picked up subway on the way home... darric's choice... i prefer port of subs...
