     I am soooooo happy it's FRIDAY.  This has been an extremely busy, crazy, strange week.  I know I'll get this schedule down and it won't be so insane after a few months, but I am EXHAUSTED!!!!  In fact, I think I'm going to go have a nap before we have to run get Kennedy.

Here's my Kennedy all dolled up on the second day of school.  She HATES getting her hair curled, but I love it, so sometimes she has to endure the torture.  Notice her black boots (they are from my friend's little girl).  Kennedy adores them and says they look very 'womanly'!  YIKES!


Amidst the craziness, I managed to accomplish ONE thing on my To Do List.....my downstairs pantry is now organized.  I was too embarassed to get a before picture, but let's just say I had NO idea how much stuff was down there or what I even had.  There is a lot of wasted space because these shelves are NOT what I want.  Layne is going to fix it sometime, but it could be awhile.
