This weekend was Tax Free Weekend in Texas. So to make the most of the weekend Kaijsa, Kamden, Kinsee and I went shopping. There are tons of stuff that are tax free during this time. It comes once a year and I love it! We got some very cute clothes for Kaijsa for back to school as well as for Christmas. I also got some clothes for Kamden and Kinsee for not only Christmas but their Birthdays. Plus I got some clothes for me. Mine are for me now and Christmas. We went to an outlet mall up by the Oklahoma border and made a big day of being together. We had breakfast, did some shopping, and just had a great day. There is even a playland at the mall for kids to play on so the babies got to get in the sand and play around. The weather was beautiful too. The kids got clothes and shoes and I got everything done for the holidays. Larry still needs a few items but basically Christmas Shopping is done! Kamden's Birthday shopping is pretty much done too. I'm so excited! I love the feeling of being on top of things. Now if I could just get on top of cleaning my house...hmmmm

School doesn't start for another week so this week is Dr. appointments and just spending time with friends. Kaijsa is so excited to be back and her friends are thrilled she's home too. It's so good to see her and them and everyone together. Her class schedule sounds fun, I hope she likes her teachers. Plus seminary will start soon so we'll get back into our school routine instead of the summer routine. But since I love routine there isn't too much of a change.

To those of you who start school soon...Good Luck! Kaitlyn and Kira plus the cousins: McKenna and Miranda all start school this week. I'll fill you in on Kaijsa's as soon as she starts. Hope everyone had a fantastic summer!

Bah, that's not real shopping. Black Friday shopping, that's real shopping. That I will never do again. I've still no holiday gift suggestions. Especially as you lack a suitable game store. ^_^

You'll have to hit the flickr site and see the crochet Cthulhu.

Here's to kids back in school. Whee!
