Current Mood: Happy

Ha Ha, my car! That’s what’s new. I got a call last week that my car was in and would be at my dealer Thursday/Friday. Yipee skippy. I picked her up on Friday. I’ll tell you what, I love it, and I do mean LOVE it. If I could live in it, I probably would.

A good friend of ours happens to be our car salesman also, (and now the salesman of choice for our family and friends). He is SUCH a nice guy, so if you are looking for a dealer that can get ya any GM vehicle, drop me a line and I’ll send you his way. Anyway, he says, “I’ll have them stripe it for you. What do you want?” Uhh, first, I assume you mean pinstripe. Second, I have no idea! He asked if I wanted flashy or classic. I told him I’m not too flashy really so probably more classic. He says, “No, you want flashy.” LOL. Ok, I guess that’s what I want. He told me I’d like blue and purple stripes, and frankly I wasn’t so sure. But, I told him that I trusted his judgment. I’m glad I did… it’s fantastic! (You like how I make all these decisions without consulting Denny?) Anyway, John at Rinke Cadillac – go see him!!!

The other NEW thing – today was the first day back at school, and the first day of school for Dylan period! Kindergarten, yeesh, time goes by way to quick. Seems like just yesterday I was taking Ethans photo before his first day of kindergarten, now today he started third grade. Here is Ethan on his first day of Kindergarten and then today.

And here is Dilly today just before we left for school…

Yes, I have a thing for plaid. Every single year for elementary school thus far… new plaid shirt and matching t shirt underneath. Yes, I know I’m neurotic. In my defense, Dilly opted NOT to wear what I picked for him. Instead he says, “Uhh, I’m not wearing that Mom. Don’t you have something orange?” Orange apparently is his new color. Orange shirt, orange backpack, and if he new Crocs weren’t too big he’d be wearing those too… also orange. So, he picked out the orange shirt, which happens to be one Ethan wore at one point, but there was no talking Dilly out of it. What can I say?

It’s nearly 11am now, and no one from the school has called to tell me I have a kid up there freaking out, so I guess it’s going ok. Shelby and I are enjoying the day without boys thus far. She seems to be the most excited about it. No one to share with I guess!

Happy first day back at school to all the other Mom’s out there!
