1. School officially started this week. Bear was not as excited as Monkey to go to school but he has quickly warmed up to his new teacher. He came home yesterday and told me he thought she was ‘really cool‘. Score one for Mrs H. I even put him on the right bus this year!
2. And since we are on the topic of school – my youngest started Kindergarten this week and it has left me very weepy. It’s actually quite ironic since all summer I was SO ready for him to go back to school. But now that the day is here, I am just a mess. Pass the Kleenex please!
3. Kleenex, did somebody say Kleenex?? I will now take this moment to toot my own horn (toot toot) I was the grand prize winner of Kleenex’s Hands-On Learning Giveaway hosted over at Blissfully Domestic. Yep, I was talking about the joys of making a Rube Goldberg. Ever make one?? Thanks Kleenex!!
4. Speaking of giveaways – I am hosting a $100 Visa giftcard giveaway, courtesy of BlogHer over at my review site. Be sure you head on over and enter. $100 could buy some kick butt shoes…. just saying.
5. Football!!! Oh you heard me right, football is in full swing in this Lassie’s house. Bear had the game of a lifetime last Saturday and I was left without a voice. It was amazing!
6. I am totally diggin’ on the new release of the band Elsinore. Definitely worth a listen if you are in the mood for a great Indy rock band. Definitely worth listening too if you just want to hear some great new music.
7. This week the boys and I watched the original Clash Of The Titans. It is one of my favorite movies of all time and I am sure, a cult classic. Monkey has now become obsessed with the Kraken while Bear can’t wait to compare it to the recently released version. Could they be anymore different?
8. I am super proud of my crafting abilities this past week. Nothing like a few sweets to butter up the new teacher!
9. Did I mention the super cool giveaway I am hosting? Did I mention it was about Lilith Fair? What?! You still haven’t entered?? Well, get going already!
10. I am also impatiently patiently waiting for my copy of The Screwtape Letters to arrive. Have you read it? What were your thoughts? Be sure to join in the discussion over at Blissfully Domestic if you have!
About Kat
Here’s my question, did you weep when your tiny little men were in their football pads for the first time? Because I have a friend who was reduced to a PUDDLE the first time she saw her son in his football getup.
Can you just use your kleenex money to buy awesome shoes so we can share them in Nashville?
Sarah – I already have them picked out and I can’t wait to wear them!!
Casey – Sadly yes but not as bad as the first day of school. I am such a football freak I was more excited then anything else.
Kat, there is so-o-o-o much in this post!
Congratulations! on your Kleenex coup from BD! Then pass some of that tissue for the first day of kindergarten. *sniff* I still get sad on the first day. (Katie is going into 7th grade on Sept. 7th!!! Goodness gracious, please help us all.)
Elsinore – yes! Love them!! Thanks so much for sharing your fantastic musical taste.
Oh, I should totally get the original Clash of the Titans from Netflix! I’ve not seen the remake yet but that would be fun to watch the original and then watch the remake. I loved Clash when I was a kid.
