Enumerated Update

Three weeks from yesterday will be the duo's first day back at school. Accordingly, I am dubbing this week T-3.  We are shocked by how quickly our summer break is coming to an end.  William George will also be packing up a backpack to head to Pre-K two mornings a week as well.  We are taking bets on how long he will be allowed to stay before being send home permanently.  Those 2's... they are not helpful to an already temperamental toddler.

Anyrate, other than bemoaning the fact that we have three weeks of vacation left, here's where we are:

1) Summer Concerts: It's probably a sign of aging when a list of nerdy gear looks as entertaining as a concert.  Definitely put me down for a filtered water bottle and some ear plugs.

To be fair, outdoor concerts were never my thing.  Maybe it's the southern heat, unpredictable weather or bad acoustics... but I prefer an auditorium.

2) Blah: Curious about how to cheer yourself up when feeling blah? Read some suggestions here.  Caution: Only read if you can bolster yourself by wearing impractical shoes.  Also, the article is rated "R" for language.

3)  Celine Pony Hair Espadrilles: Animal print espadrilles? Yes.  A thousand times yes.



4) Printed Fur: Would it seem too "pimpy" to wear a printed fur coat? See the link here (caution: the redirected site has loud, accompanying music... do NOT open at work, please).  Would it be more tasteful to have the jacket version?

5) Optional: What about the same print in a smaller dose? Such as this purse, for example?

6) Allergies: Since I am allergic to both rabbit and mink, these aren't likely purchases.  Also? I paid less for the vehicle I drive so the prices attached to this merchandise seem fictional - comical, at the very least.

7) Swimming: We are currently finishing up the duo's second course of swimming lessons.  They are really getting the hang of things.  We have settled into a routine the duo attending lessons while George and I swim, and then we all swim for a while after their class concludes.  Today, George had another episode where he bored with swimming.  During the ensuing talks, George's contrite "yes mam, mommy" and his agreeable "yes, mommy" are unbelievably precious.  The only thing cuter than those mutterings are his "yes suh's" that he Skip receives.   William George is a menace, but a remorseful menace.

 That's about it for us.  What's going on with you this week?
