One more week of summer break before the little ones get back on track and head back to school. (They go to year round school, on a 9 weeks on/3 weeks off schedule.) I am SO ready for them to go back! They’re bored to death at home, and it’s such a pain to go to the store with everyone when we need groceries and stuff. I can’t wait to get back into our daily routine! I always have good intentions when we’re on break – we’re going to keep with the routine, etc. It never happens! The kids have been going to bed at like 9:45. Ugh! We need to jump right back in, or the first week will be hell for everyone!
I think we’re going to head out in the next day or two and get haircuts for everyone. Pablo is looking WAY shaggy!

To be quite honest, I had no IDEA people were willing to part with an entire house payment’s worth of moolah for a blog template. I seriously think I need to start designing again. But hey! Go there! Enter! The big winner could be YOU!
Aren’t these spectacular?

I think they’re so rad! Probably not what I’d order for my mom, but hey – you can send a bouquet of these to me any old day. They make me want to eat Skittles.
The highly colourful flowers have been developed by a Dutch businessman who dyes each bloom in the colours of the rainbow. The dyes are produced from natural plant extracts and are absorbed by the flowers as they grow. A special process then controls how much colour reaches each petal – with spectacular results.
I’d never heard of these until today, when a friend of mine mentioned trying to track them down for her mom. The place she found them wanted $14 a stem! ::chokes:: I still think they’re awesome.
