This morning started out with everything running smoothly. We were all up and out the door in time and with nobody crying or arguing. We made it to school with everything that we needed for the day and the boys were all smiles. I met the Tiger Cub leader and got the candy that her parent's had brought for the goody bags for next week.
Brandon and I headed to KMart to get the grill that we had put on layaway out so we could take it to the lake. This is where the snag in our plans happened. Layaway does not open until 10, we were hoping to be headed home from the lake by 10.
We came home and I looked into some things that I wanted for my photography company. While I could not find what I was looking for I did find something perfect. As soon as they arrive MonicaAnne Photography will offer gift certificates. I also plan to give these as gifts to those who I have done sessions for. I am excited. We also got a few things together for Brian. Hopefully he will find them useful.
We left home headed to drop off a disc from a photo session. Then headed to KMart. Where again there was a problem. One of our payments did not post to our layaway. Fortuately I had all of the receipts so they made it right, but not before having us stand around for an hour. We ran by the Clay Post office so I could mail some other discs from a wedding and then to drop some stuff off for Brian, then to the lake. We stopped by the courthouse so I could get the tag for the lake, but I need my cousin's drivers licence too. I swear if something could be easy that would be wonderful!
We made it to the lake put the grill in the shed and high tailed it to Irondale to get the boys! I am happy to report that they had great days and that John Michael got a green face, which made it a week off all green. We promised him Dairy Queen if he did it and he did so we did. Super proud.
I have every Christmas present that I had already gotten wrapped and ready for the trees! This is a great accomplishment. All of the women (almost) and all of the girl children that we buy for are done! We still have the boys and men. We also have the boys' bigger gifts, but that will come soon enough. Layaways will be started as soon as I have a little extra. It would be even nicer just to go get it and be done with it. We shall see which way it works out. I also have some pictures to print and get in frames and then get those wrapped, but then I am done! All great news.
We took some change that we had to the store to cash it in. We had been trying to wait and use it on vacation but with all we have going on this week we know that we will probably need it. This weekend will be spent in the truck, and on the go, but it is all good and I am looking forward to it.
Extra battery is charging for the camera for tomorrow, boys are in bed, and I am headed there myself. I hope that everyone has a great weekend. Keep an eye on http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ for all of the sessions that are coming up. It is going to be great! Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
