What happened to Summer in Washington?

I don't know about the rest of you around the country, but we have not had much of a summer here in the soggy Evergreen State. We have about three days of nice weather (lower to mid-70s) than battle with a week of rain, clouds and low temps. I guess this is why we are called the "Evergreen" state. :) It is supposed to warm up through Wednesday so we might actually make it down to the beach tomorrow. It is suppose to rain again on Thursday.

Okay enough whining. What is going on in the Webster family? Gearing up for Matt's transfer (we are staying here, he is just moving across the street to a new command) he only has five more days!! Matt will have 30 days of leave so we have a HUGE list of projects to get done before he goes back to work. Mostly cleaning up the yard around the house before winter sets in and finishing up those little projects that always need to be done when you own a house. I know we will enjoy having Daddy around the house for a while.

As for the kids . . . Aidan's six tooth broke through early Sunday morning. That is a huge relief. Today he is back to his old, onery, mischievious self. In less than an hour he broke the instructions off of the gas fire place in the family room, unrolled the toilet paper in both bathrooms, terrorized the cat, knocked Matt's alarm clock off of his night stand and pulled stuff out of the garbage can. All of this before Mom could even get dressed and get breakfast. Chloe is doing well, she is more than ready for school to start again. Her summer session of Ballet and Tumbling is going well and she is enjoying it.

I am busy trying to finish up lesson plans for the first six weeks of school (always fun), get Chloe's lesson plans done for the year, get some activities going at church and keep my business going (check the links on the side to see what I have been up to). I started selling Stampin' Up! at the beginning of the summer and am loving it. It has helped so much especially during the summer months when I am not teaching and not getting a paycheck. I plan on selling even while I am teaching. Matt and I have some big plans for the house and the added income will go a long way in making those plans a reality.
