At least it's not my fault

Our beautiful new car - Honda Accord.  It's only 5 months old.


Last week Jeff was in an accident.  It happened right after Lisey's soccer game.  As he was pulling out the van directly behind him was also pulling out of their parking spot.  It was a no fault/both at fault accident so no penalty on our insurance.  Though we needed to get a new bumper.  There was no way this was going to be fixed.

No was hurt but we are very thankful for insurance.  It's expensive to replace a bumper!

Our Little Pumpkin



We had to go to the dentist to create this little space.  The root was detached but her gums didn't want to let the tooth go.  (Also, her dad & mom are chicken when it comes to pulling teeth out!) 

Annalise must have felt left out because two days later she lost a tooth - a molar.  Well, that's siblings for you -- can't let each other do something without them.

What's Up


So what have I been up to???  Well I've discovered eBay.  Now I've known about them for years but this last month I've actually used it.  I first started looking for this really nice, but expensive, Liberty of London fabric.  I saw this lovely  fabric in a store in Santa Cruz  -- retailing for $42 a yard.  As much as I liked the fabric I'm a cheap person and that's just too much so someone suggested to look for it on eBay. 


Instead of the cool, expensive fabric I have found other cool things to buy.  So far I've bought 4 different yards of fabric, a jeans skirt, something Hunger Games for Lisey (can't specifically say - just in case she reads this) and a cell phone cover for Annalise's phone.  That's just in the last six weeks.  I'm not a huge shopper but shopping on eBay is just too easy.

On Friday I got my new glasses.  This last month I've had to wear my backup pair because my other glasses got run over by a car.  How, you ask? 


In order to be outside and see I have to wear my sunglasses so my regular glasses were in a case in my purse.  Somehow as I was getting the keys out of my purse my glasses case fell out onto the parking lot.  I didn't realize the case was missing until I reached my next destination.  So I drove back and found the glasses.  I was so excited until I took the glasses out of the case.  The lenses were not broken but the frame was all twisted.  Boo!  I had to wait to order the new frames until my vision insurance would pay for them.  Thank goodness for backup pairs of glasses!

Saturdays for the next couple months


This is how our Saturdays are going to look until November because soccer season has started.  Especially now that both girls are playing soccer.  This is Robyn's first year and Jeff is the assistant coach of her team.  She's liking soccer and has even made a goal in her first game.  Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me so I couldn't take a picture -- bad mommy!

So far we've been able to go to both games but that will change as the season progress as Annalise's games are all over the county.  When that happens we will definitely need to divide and conquer!
