what we did this week...

Biggest news of the week???

We got to snip one of these off!!!

Well, we survived our first week into this deployment! I knew we would, but it seemed to drag at times. This was also the last week of school before the German school break. The kids will be out for two weeks before returning for the new school year. Emma is schooling it up, she will attend the last week of August at the German school before moving onto Kindergarten on post. She is a bit nervous about leaving her German friends behind but I think she is excited for 'real' school as well. I had lots of get togethers with my girlfriends this week, I think we needed things to look forward to, so we just made up excuses to meet up! Last night was a dance party using the Xbox Kinnect. I'm just glad there is no video evidence of my performance to Lady Gaga's Poker Face! I think the kids enjoy getting together as well because they can all relate to missing Daddy. Rio was purchased this week, and if you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for???!?! It is by far the cutest animated film I have seen in a while, and trust me...I see them ALL. I really like the latin soundtrack too. Dave is doing well, flying a lot, but that is his job. School is winding down for me, but not for too long! My first graduate class starts an entire day after I graduate with my Bachelors of Science in Social Science. An entire day off, who would have though?! No, I am very thankful because I am able to have this paid for through my veteran's benefits.

These two were supposed to be in time out on the stairs...but ended up playing around and trying to win me over...
some special gifts arrived last week that I've been hiding until I get the "I'm bored!!!" during their school break...I expect to hear it within the next 24 hours...
Yummy cherry coconut cupcakes I made for the dance party...I can use coconut in everything now that Dave isn't here to tell me how disgusting it is. :)
Mason had some asthma issues this week, but is much better!
