Better late than never!

Owen's 3rd Birthday was over a month ago but with the craziness (written briefly in previous blog) I never really got around to writing a birthday blog for Owen. So here goes!

Gymbucks!

So anyone that knows me, knows that I'm a complete Gymboree fanatic. One thing you should know about Gymboree is that they have "lines" of clothing that come out every so often. The line is named, for example, this month is "Mighty Dinos". Everything within a line is coordinating. If you have a shirt, of course you need the socks, and matching hat, and coordinating pants. It's addicting. It's safe to say that I'm hooked. I've been a Gymboree fan since Owen was about 3 months old. I LOVE their newest line "Mighty Dinos". Maybe it's because some of the lines within the past year have been disappointing. Anyway, tomorrow is Gymbucks redemption and here are the goods.... I'm pretty much just sticking to one line because I love it so much, and I have all of the items I want from the other lines. Also, I needed some fall clothing for Owen especially since he's starting preschool in September.



I went to Gymboree and had everything set aside and ready to go when I go in tomorrow to redeem my gymbucks, and I'm glad that I did because the dino hoodie (light blue, at top left) is already out of stock on the website and that's pretty much my favorite piece, so I'm glad that it's reserved for me at the store.

Absent

I think many of you have probably noticed how I haven't been keeping up to date on here. It's been hectic around here to say the least! From my grandmother passing away around memorial day, Owen getting a huge gash on his head a couple days later and getting stitches, to my diagnosis with mono a few days after that... I haven't been able to catch up. JUST when I thought that maybe I would be able to do an entry in here, it was my birthday/Owen's birthday and vacation a few days after that. Alright, so we get home and there's more drama before I can even think of blogger whatsoever. Brian has Lyme disease.

When will I get a break and get to enjoy my summer?!? =(
