Wow, it is August. That means so many things...pool is closing soon, school is starting soon, days are getting shorter & hotter, the month is really full of birthdays and stuff etc...
Josh and I got to take a long bike ride today. I couldn't tell you how many miles, but my quads were killing me. We got home and Josh put the car tire gauge on my tire to find out it only had 15 psi of air. That's about 1/3 of what it needs. No wonder the ride killed my legs. I had to work so hard to pedal. Not that I didn't need it, I'm just saying. You see, we pumped up my tires beforehand (so we thought) with this new tire pump that we just purchased. I kind of found it odd that the tire was at correct pressure after 2 pumps (according to the gauge). We even let some air out because we did not want them to be overfilled. Turns out, the gauge on the new tire pump does not work.
Also, Josh told me the most hilarious story about his awesome fashion sense of old. Maybe I shared this before, but I'm too lazy to look back + it's late. He told me that he had an outfit of iguanas. He proceeded to describe the shirt and I said "NO, not puffy paint". He told me yes he had a shirt with iguanas outlined with puffy paint. I reminded him that he was male and he said (to make matters worse) this was in JR HIGH!! He had coordinating shorts made of iguana fabric. I bet he was the coolest!
We got the Diva's birthday present today. The Diva is the youngest. She has been asking for a Dora bike for several weeks now. We purchased it last night because it was the last one at Target. Why is she a diva? She has to have all of her accessories (hair bow, jewelry, lip gloss, purse, and has asked for earrings as well). I get quizzed if I am not wearing things like earrings or painted fingernails etc...She truly notices everything! This morning, I asked her what she wanted for her birthday besides a bike...her answer...an American Girl doll mommy with blond hair. I think she calls it a mommy because it looks more grown up than the Bitty Babies that she has right now. Oh BOY! I doubt she will be getting that one. She tells us the name is Mia. Um, Mia is no longer available. Aliyah informed her that they already have Mia and do not need another one. Anyway, Diva also loves loves loves her big sis and wants to be with her at all times. Lucky for her they are homeschooled.
Well, I am glad that the weekend is almost here! I still miss being on vacation!

Did Josh WANT to wear the iguana outfit or did his mom make him?
That is just a hilarious image!
My daughter is a diva, too and still enjoys her Ameican Girl dolls. Have you ever taken the girls to tea at the AG store? It is so fancy and so much fun!
ummm...he went to Catholic school so they wore uniforms most of the time, so I don't know if he had much fashion sense. His mom made the shorts and the shirts so I'm thinking she missed the memo that the puffy paint shirts should have been for girls.
Thank God he doesn't dress weird anymore!
August was indeed a busy month back in 1977. The night before Josh and his brother were born, a friend of mine at the time, Bill, came over to the house and helped me put together the second baby bed. We struggled mightily with that contraption. It was hot and so to cool off, we shared a beer. And then another one. And another one. And another. . .Well, you get the idea. How I managed to get everyone to the hospital by 5:00 the next morning is beyond me! Then, along about 1:30 came Josh's brother and nine minutes later the world met Josh. Nothing has been the same since!! :) Call it divine intervention!
