Tax Free Weekend

Sorry, no pictures, as I've lost my camera. I do still have the Flip Video. This weekend we spent doing back-to-school shopping because it was tax-free weekend. Oh, joy. The boys each got a few new pairs of jeans, in the size larger than they currently wear, and many new socks and underwear. So boring, eh? Well, if you'd seen their socks you'd be as excited as I am. Once a year we throw the whole brown batch out and get nice new white ones. So, for a week we'll have white socks. Alek mowed the yard in his new pair Saturday morning, so he's got a green pair now.

Gary was busy tearing out the sterio cabinet he built-in in the family room back when we moved in in 1995. We've got a lot of work to do to get something else in there; moving cables, power, etc. It seems everything we do now involves an electrician. Luckily, we have a good one.

We took the toys off the landing (the 2nd floor space over the front door, which was an open atrium when we bought the house, but we floored it about 5 years ago), and got a small computer desk and put the boys' computer on it. It's nice, and it runs a lot faster over the wireless internet connection out there in the hall. It was here in my office and no one wanted to use it because it was so slow. Oh, yea, and MOMMY fixed the security issue that was causing the hangup. Had to point that out ...

I know, I still need to post birthday pictures, and we still need to write thank you notes ... soon! soon!

Hope you're all well and are enduring the heat.
