Jackson walked on furniture while we cooked.
While Megan made miniature clothing out of the fabric she received at activity days.
For lunch the kids had hot dogs. I hate hot dogs so much that I seriously almost threw up while cooking them. The smell! Bleh..........
After lunch we ran some errands. First we went to Kohl's for school shoes.
I had to venture into the adult section for Megan this year. It was A LOT more expensive!
Then we went to the bank.
If you ever are behind me in drive-thru at the bank, consider yourself lucky. Because......I always have my deposit slip completely filled out and ready to go. Unlike every person I am always behind, who is never prepared! It is a bit of a pet peeve of mine.
On the way home I spotted my very favorite flowers in Nevada. I love when they are in bloom.
It's a bit strange that I love them so, given my distaste for the color orange, but it can't be helped.
When we arrived back home, it was reading time.
It seems as if I have spent the majority of the month of August reading. In this picture I am reading out loud to the kids, "The Fairy-Tale Detectives", which is our August book club selection. But I have also been reading the Book Of Mormon in 30 days, along with the book, "The Wonder Spot", that I am mildly obsessed with.
Jackson is often acting all sorts of crazy while we read.
Soon after reading, we went bowling with some friends.
It was enjoyable.
That night I took my boyfriend out to dinner, since he had a rare Friday night break from soccer season.
We went to The Cannery (mainly because I had a coupon, and it is close). But also because they have coconut cream pie, which I love.
It is the very first thing I get whenever we go, since one time I waited until the end of the meal and they ran out!

I hear you about the drive thru! Drives me crazy!!! I have all my deposit slips at home so when I pull up I am ready!!!!
I am amazed that you have found time to read anything else besides the BoM...I have set all other books aside for the month!
The clothes Megan made are adorable!! I hate hot dogs unless they are the kind with cheese in them,...gross I know but what can I say! I love them!!!
I love that you are so organized, that you read to your kids, and that you are consistant with your 12 x 12's every month. I try to start each month, but then it never happens. You are awesome!

I used to despise hot dogs too until I discovered Nathan's or Hebrew National all beef and now I can stomach them :)
Megan is so talented, those little clothes are adorable! I am very impressed with your reading, yesterday someone asked me how far I am in the BofM challenge, does the title page count?
