Matt Maher morning, noon and night!  
After a visit with the morning show, and lunch at First Watch, 


we had over 1200 people show up for a Free Concert!  


My kids and others gathered on the side of the stage for a bird's eye view!  

And Eli rocked out all night long!

After her first practice for Fall softball (in a 107 degree heat index),



Naomi spent the afternoon cooling off and hanging with dad
at the radio station.  Doesn't she looked thrilled?!

It is Back To School time in our house. The kids started classes on Monday.

Here is their main classroom and the shelves with all their books, 
workbooks and supplies. (organized well at this point anyway)  

Here is the Library.   

Some of their writing assignments come from these unique dispensers. 
(we recycle... but honestly the poetry jar still smells a lot like pickles)  

For a science project they are trying to "mummify" an apple 
It is inside the one with all the baking soda.  The other apple 
is the "control group"  


Today's nature hike found a few unknown items.  
Once back at the schoolhouse, research showed it was a sort of seed 
pod from a Cypress tree.  (makes the house smell awesome!)  

For recess, Naomi's favorite thing to do is kick someone's butt 
in Chinese Checkers.  I know it is a bit cliche' but it is truly her 
favorite game and she is VERY good at it. 
Only 9 more months to go....

Lunch with the kiddos while momma lunches with a few of her girlfriends.  

On the way, we stopped in to get a free refill of coke slushee.
That got us all cooled off and ready to eat!
 

Then headed to Chick-Fil-A for one of their new SPICY
Chicken Sandwiches... YUM! They are great!  
(the kids just had regular Chick-Fil-A's) 

Then hit racetrac again on the way back to the office to get
ANOTHER refill of the slushee (this time pineapple/coconut) 
to cool things off after lunch!  
I did not get any of either slushee by the way... 
those sweet adorable kids, hogged all of both of them....  :(

Today I went to county offices to see about the "ticket" I got for having an expired insurance card... Even though I didn't!
The cop simply misread EFF Date (which stands for Effective Date, noted at the bottom of the card) and thought it was Expiration date. Simple mistake I was sure they could easily straighten out.

Here is my insurance card.
They all agreed it was the officer's mistake.  

And still they charged me the $10 fine.   They said I could take it to court... 

But then I saw this note they posted in the payment window... 
and decided to shut up and pay up.
