We attended Bryce's 4th birthday party on Saturday, Aug. 6. Sidney is wearing the visor he decorated with sports balls. Cleo got her face painted. The inspiration was "princess ballerina."

Today was Cleo's and Sidney's first day of the academic calendar at daycare. I hope things went well. We went school supplies shopping on Saturday and the kids helped us label everything. We got Sidney a Thomas the Train backback and Cleo a new princess one that full size folders actually fit in.

Sidney is scheduled to get his tonsils and adenoids removed on Sept. 2. He will stay overnight in the hospital. Either Roger or I will stay with him. I am already fretting but know that it is for the best and he will be so much happier once they are removed.

I have sort of started doing P90X and am participating in a walking competition at work. I gained 6 pounds since March and need to FOCUS on losing them. I need to start P90X in earnest. It was hard last week because I was sidelined from the strep throat pain. Back on track tonight!
