My Secret Idenity... THE HULK

Zachary joined Cub Scouts last week. He starts off as a Wolf Cub. As most of you know, he has his favorite pet in the world...Wolfy. So he was very pleased! Caleb could not join until he is in 1st grade. In AZ it is kindergarten. He was sad. But a T-shirt cheered him up.
Remember those frogs I posted about? They are over taking over!! They are everywhere! Dozens, hundreds, maybe even thousands all over our yard! And IN OUR HOUSE. Caleb did good his first week of preschool. Day 2 he came home and I asked him what he did, he said "Nothing. I just wanted to play. I didn't do any work." I believed him. The next day I asked the teacher how he was, and she said he participated in everything! Was never a problem! He did wonderful! Completed all his papers! Had no clue what I was talking about. Hmmmm. I guess that's better than hearing, "I did everything." Only to find out they didn't. This is his first ever paper. He really enjoyed writing 'H'. Our kitties love to be held. They don't even mind it if the boys hold them.... Really. Our first ever study time. BOTH boys had homework. Kids say the funniest things. On Friday Mike and I did the lawn. I mow, and he edges and does all the clean up. Well, I mow in my flip flops. I know. I know. But I do.
When I came in Caleb looked at my green feet and said so seriously, and very concerned,
"Mommy, are you turning into
The HULK!??"
Saturday we went to Universal Studios.
We hadn't been since June, and we all missed it so much.

Christina brought her best friend Katelyn. Caleb went on the water ride for the first time. Yeah Caleb! You are so brave!!!They already have it decorated for Halloween. Starting the end of the month, I will no longer be a stay at home mom. (well sorta)

I am going back into business for myself!

I will be renting a hair and nail station at a salon in downtown Oviedo called CLIX.

I will be my own boss again! My hours will be Mon-Thurs 9-12. The owner made me an offer I couldn't refuse. It will be nice to not have an 'Annette' situation like before. I will be able to run my business, and not worry about a boss not allowing me to take time off. It will be nice to get back into a salon. One of my coworkers husbands does the same type of work that Mikey does, with a sort of, but not really, competing company. And they just moved here 3 months ago. We have alot in common with them! (so far)

Its funny, up until recently we could walk into stores and not have a single person know who we are. Now we are starting to recognize people and be recognized. In AZ you could almost guarantee that when I went to the stores I would see someone I knew. Especially working and living in the same area. Our anonymity is slowly leaving us. Florida is wrapping us up around her fingers. And we are really enjoying it!
