Not Me! Monday
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
**********************
Last week was NOT a SUPER busy week at our house! We did NOT do a ton of different things all week, and I am NOT SUPER exhausted from all the stuff that we did NOT do!
{We did NOT go on a last minute mini-vacation to the beach. We did NOT attend Open House at Henry's new school and meet his new teacher. We did NOT take Henry to his first day of Kindergarten. We did NOT go to three birthday parties on Saturday. We did NOT have a busy Sunday at church followed by lunch, shopping, dessert and the cleaning the house! I am NOT exhausted just thinking about the week we had last week!}
While we were on our mini vacation, I did NOT eat a ton of junk food, fried food, ice cream, and treats! I always eat healthy food....especially when I am on vacation. When we got home from vacation, I did NOT continue to eat unhealthy food for the whole week. I did NOT finish off another jar of Nutella and a few various things of candy that had been sitting around the house for a while!
While we were on vacation, I did NOT let the boys take a 'break' from bathtime. I did NOT just let them going to the pool count as taking a bath for two of the three nights that we were gone!
I did NOT change a billion dirty diapers this past week. Eli was NOT on antibiotics for an ear infection...and those antibiotics did NOT give him horrible diarrhea, which means I did NOT have to change his little hiney every hour of every day for the past week! And if I did have to change that many diapers, I would NEVER complain that all my child ever seems to do is POOP!
I am NOT just a little {more} sad than I thought I would be about Henry starting Kindergarten! We have NOT been so ready for him to start school, and now I am NOT just a little worried about how well he is adjusting!

A Few of My Favorite Things {3}...
My favorite chocolate fix
Nutella
I have seriously gone through {by myself} at least 5 jars of this stuff since the beginning of June. I bought a jar of it at the beginning of summer...thinking it would be okay, but probably not anything special. OH MY! Was I wrong! This stuff is SUPER delicious...though not really the best for my {not nearly small enough} waistline! I just finished off a jar today, and I think I am going to NOT buy another jar for a while! I need to get back on WW big time...which for me means eating a ton of Special K and apples!
My favorite summer t.v. show
This is a new show that comes on Lifetime. I thought it looked interesting, so I set the DVR to record the first episode a few weeks ago. It is actually pretty good...especially considering it is a Lifetime show and I'm not really a Lifetime kind of girl! This show is helping to fill the t.v. void that the summer has left since everything {and I mean everything} that I like to watch is either in reruns or not even on the air!
My favorite piece of furniture
My china cabinet
I got this china cabinet back in June for my anniversary, but I don't think I ever posted pictures of it! I am still SUPER excited that my wedding china finally has a place {after sitting in the boxes for 7 years}! Just in case you don't remember, Jason and I got this beauty at a Rooms 2 Go Outlet store for less than $400! The only thing wrong with it was a few scratches that a furniture marker took care of easily....and the exact same cabinet was sitting in the regular store with a price tag of $999!
My favorite song
Perfect People by Natalie Grant
Never let 'em see you when you're breaking
Never let 'em see you when you fall
That's how we live and that's how we try
Tell the world you've got it all together
Never let them see what's underneath
Cover it up with a crooked smile
But it only lasts for a little while
[CHORUS:]There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scarred
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God
Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted
When you hear the words that you are loved
He knows where you are and where you've been
And you never have to go there again
[CHORUS]
Who lived and died to give new life
To heal our imperfections
So look up and see love.
Let grace be enough
[CHORUS]
By a perfect God [5x]
Be changed by a perfect God
Be changed

What are some of your favorite things?

Big Little Man on Campus!
Henry is officially a Kindergartner!
Jason and I took him to his new school this morning for his very first day of Kindergarten.
Henry and Hayden {Trouble and Double Trouble!}
Our school district does "Kindergarten Discovery Days" for the first three days of the school year, so today he is at school with 8 other classmates. He will not go to school tomorrow....and he will start his first 'normal' day of Kindergarten on Monday.Henry seemed to be fine, a little nervous, but I kind of expected that from him. No tears were shed, so I think we did pretty good! We are really excited about his teacher {she has some awesome qualifications} and his new class! And I am SUPER excited that Henry already knows some the kids {at least 5 from church and preschool} and I know some of the moms {field trips are way more fun if you have someone you like to talk to}!
I'm a little nervous about pick up....only because it is new and I don't want to do something wrong. I think I can handle it though! Hopefully Henry is having a great day and will have a great Kindergarten year!

Corndog
Yesterday, the boys' dog {Corndog} chased her last car.
*****************
Jason left for work around 6 am yesterday morning, and Corndog {doing what she does every morning} chased his truck down our little road. Only this time she got a little too close the tires, and Jason accidentally ran over her.
He came back to the house to tell me and ask what I thought we should do. He was worried about waking up the boys and not knowing what to tell them. He decided to drive down the road to his grandmother's house {she lives about two miles away} to bury her.
******************
We stayed inside most of the day yesterday and the boys haven't noticed that she is gone yet. Jason was going to tell them last night...but we aren't quite sure how to break the news to a 5 year old and a 3 year old.

{Any advice on how to break the new of losing a pet would be SUPER helpful!}
*******************
She was a good country yard dog
kept to herself
played with her neighbor dog friends
slept during the day
and rarely barked unless a strange dog came into the yard
*********************
The boys really loved Corndog...and she will be greatly missed!
