Yesterday was the first day of school for my girls. They had a great day. My oldest also started dance class yesterday. Everything went smoothly. I’m hoping to get more done around the house, get some scrapbooking done & read some books. I wasn’t ready for summer to end, but I’m looking forward to some alone time!

We went to the Selfridge Air show yesterday. I got fried & I was wearing SPF 50 all day long with several applications. I seriously cannot even stand on my left leg. My left side got the worst of it because of the way I was sitting. We left the house at 7:30am. I had to get up at 6 & not joking I have been waking up between 10 & 11 for the last month. It was hard! We got there a little before the base was letting cars in, so we had a great parking spot. The show didn’t start till 11, so we walked around for 3 hours looking at all the planes. Got food, set down to watch the show. My girls & I went with my dad. He ended up spending $60 just on food! The prices were insane! The show was pretty good. It was very hot & the girls got very crabby. They only do it every other year though so glad I got to go! My dad loves planes, especially WWII. When I was little we always went to the Ohio Air Museum, so it was fun going to this!

I can’t believe my book arrived today. I opted for the Free shipping on Amazon & they couldn’t guarantee it to arrive, but it did! Yeah, I’m so excited. The box is very cool too, nice extra touch

I took the girls to see Paleo Joe at the library today for Dinosaur CSI. He is a paleontologist & was very interesting. The girls had a lot of fun & learned quite a bit about fossils & Dinosaurs. They ended up getting his first three chapter books in the Dinosaur Detective club books & they each got a patch. He autographed the three books, so they were excited about that. The books look very interesting!

At the beginning of the presentation, he read one of his books, we didn’t buy this one, but the girls wanted it!
