It's the middle of July...

...and it's HOT!

So what have we been up to?

Soon I am going to be launching our new online business, Little's Things. We are having a huge clothing sale here locally, to coincide with Aguilar Fest, which is our small town's annual festival. Games, rides, overpriced food, and a mud bog, which is always a LOT of fun.

Dispatch is going very well. Slower right now, thankfully, because I need to concentrate on pricing clothes for the sale.

The kids, well they are just awesome! Aimee is in her last week working at the camp. She went to the Renaissance Fair last weekend, and had an awesome time. Saren is getting pretty homesick, but they are going on a big vacation next week so I'm hoping he'll have a better time then. We'll probably go get him afterwards. Nikki has been such a huge help over the summer months. Roan is cute beyond belief, last week he asked me to buy him some "big boy panties". So we did and he promptly peed through four pairs in a little over an hour LOL. So we're going to do some fairly aggressive potty training this week with him in pull ups. He's mentally ready, I just don't think he's quite made the full connection yet, so we'll see. By aggressive I mean taking him to the potty every 30 minutes or so, not like beating him over the head with the cast iron skillet. Thought I should clarify! Aria is singing. Singing to every little bit of music she hears. It's wonderful. Haven't seen much of many of the add on kids, except Big Jessica and her daughter Jamie. Spent some time with them last night. Big Jessica has some things going on so I went over to their house (they just moved, small house, but perfect for the two of them) and just listened and hugged. I hope it helped.

Dinners this week are of the quick and easy variety, to facillitate all the sale stuff I have to get done. Saturday I made a pot roast in the CP, so we had that, last night we shredded the pot roast, toasted up some sourdough with swiss, and then put the warm shredded pot roast on it. Was yummy. Today I'm going to make spaghetti sauce, and have that for dinner tonight, and tomorrow we will somehow finish off the pot roast leftovers. Maybe just simple over mashed potatoes and bread, thickened up. Not sure, though.

OK, I can hear Aria stirring, so off I go.

Have an awesome day, and thanks for reading this little bit of my life!
