Well, this past week was full of beginning to prepare for back to school. Oklahoma has tax-free weekend the first weekend of August so I shopped for myself and our son Riley (Abbie was gone backpacking and Travis was still in LA). I am beginning to build my professional wardrobe and had to have khakis and a polo for food lab. Riley hates to shop for clothes so I tried to make it quick and as painless as possible :o) He came out with some nice items. Abbie got home early Thursday and all she could think about was food. The person in charge of planning the food for the trip did a poor job. After a much needed shower (a whole week without one) and some french toast, bacon and coffee, she was ready to shop. We hit the shops around campus first, then the local mall. She was exhausted by the the time we finished there so we came home. Friday we did the rest of her shopping in the city. Now Travis is on his way home so I need to spend the weekend prepping the house and getting the rest of Abbie's dorm stuff. Come Monday I will be making another one of my children "Welcome home" french toast (he has requested it also). Then we will be heading to the mall to shop for his back to school clothes. I know this won't be happening much longer as Riley will be graduating from college this year and the others won't be far behind. Thursday will be move-in day for Abbie at the dorms and I have orientation Wednesday and Thursday, so we are looking at another busy week.
