Counting Down...Lots of counting going on...Well, the household is all a-twitter getting ready for our friends, Kristin Littlefield and her sons, Barrett and Patrick to come tomorrow. Jacob already has welcome music picked out and I am to make cupcakes for the "party". Ha! It'll be a big time. Can't wait!

The other item we are counting now is that as of Monday, it is 1 month until school starts. We are anxiously awaiting a letter from Jacob's school as to who his teacher will be and the arrival of his ordered school supplies/backpack. Only this year, Julia will be going to Pre-K Monday thru Friday also. Jacob is psyched because her school day actually starts before his. Ha! Go figure! Apparently she has some time to make up.

The third thing we are already counting down is Halloween. The Lilly's Kids catalog came yesterday with all the Halloween costumes in it. Jacob already has his costume selection (for now) picked up. And Julia swears she wants to be the pink power ranger...who wants to be just like brother?!?! I told Jacob it wasn't time to order the costumes yet. He really wanted to have it in time for Barrett's visit. I told him he could bring it to Oklahoma the next time we come. He was satisfied with that.
