a little of this, a little of that

Eshiva had her second dance class this morning – she loves it. I am a little irritated I got taken for a full months tuition for two classes (it wasn’t prorated – I totally would have waited till March had I known) but she is so happy it’s worth it anyway.

After that we went to Bear Fair at the elementary school (it’s got a couple of bounce houses, “carny” games, raffles, etc..) and the kids went in a bounce house, had cotton candy, played some games. Malachai fell and we left (some jackass mom pointed out it was “only bleeding a little” seriously, what [i]mom[/i] points out that it’s bleeding at all??) and headed for the Dollar Tree. Oh, my brother entered a raffle, and entered me in one as well, so maybe we’ll win something!

We spent 35 freaking dollars at the dollar store. How does that even happen? Well, my brother and sister spent just shy of ten, so that makes it a little better. I got some much needed erasers and glue sticks, and new shovels/pails for the beach and some other beachy stuff. Eshiva got some cheapish imitation Disney dollhouse furniture and sneaked a Mary figurine in (it’s doll house sized – I may just repaint it or something) and they all got more candy (because you know, we needed more candy, doesn’t everyone?) and got dad Fiddle Faddle. Oh, and peanuts for Fish. Notice who did not get anything? Yep. It’s ok. I am basking in my new [s]toy[/s] phone. That new will take a while to wear off, I think.

It’s hot as fuck, sadly, we’re expecting rain storms tomorrow. Hopefully not while we’re at the beach! After this weekend, I have park days planned. I planned out an entire summer of park days, in fact. A new one every Saturday – Tuesday in fact, the kids are in camp Wed – Fri.
