A few of my favorite things

Ahhh- summer vacation. Can I just say that I love being home with the fam?! I got up this morning (at 8:00!), made pancakes, started some laundry, etc. It was wonderful! Summer vacation has only been 3 days but I have already gotten some time to do things I love to do, like shop and read. On Saturday we went to Salt Lake with my mom and sisters to go birthday shopping. Allie was sick so she stayed home with daddy, but Claire came and I believe that she has my flair for shopping. She loves it! When we get home she wants to try on and model her new stuff. I worry about supporting this habit when she's 16!
I also finished reading "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer. It was good. It started out a little weird and I couldn't really get into it, but after the first 100 pages it got much better. The last 100 pages were the best. It is a different kind of book than I usually read, I don't get into sci/fi much, but there was enough human interaction and romance to keep me reading. I stayed up until midnight last night to finish it!

I too like summer vacation, but I can tell that the kids are hyped up about it all and are not too excited to be doing jobs, and summer cleaning projects, but we too are excited for summer vacation. How fun that you all had a girls day out and went shopping, isn't it just so much fun when your little girl wants to be just like all the big girls and shop and try on clothes and all that fun stuff.

I finished Twilight Series... until Book Four. I started The Host Saturday night. I am actually taking my time through the first few chapters to fully grasp what is going on. Yes Confusing.... but I think I'll like it. I hope to be done by Bunco so I can discuss.... I'll keep you posted.

Glad your enjoying your summer vacation. It sounds like you had a fun girls shopping trip. I love girls trips, I just think there needs to be more of them. I am waiting to read The Host until we are all moved and I'm super excited!
