It is Thursday, and you know what that means.

Oh, wait! Maybe you don’t? Maybe you have been living under a rock or haven’t read up on us for the past few weeks?

• Yes, it is This & That Thursday, but this week Thursday also means it is (finally) VACATION DAY! We are probably somewhere over the big ‘ol blue Pacific right now on our way to Hawaii. So that means this is the last time you’ll have to hear and read, “we are going on vacation!” Although I guarantee we’ll have a million photos and fun to show you next week.
• While I go on vacation, my laptop is also going on a little vacation. I’m dropping it at the Genius Bar for a little checkup. Hopefully they will fix the prblem I seem t be having – the “o” sticks and I have t cnstantly g back and add it in.
• So that also means…I will be “unwired” this whole week. I am so looking forward to that, although I’m sure I’ll sneak peeks at J’s laptop and/or my phone. Maybe I’ll even figure out how to do some FB uploads from my phone. Eh….maybe not. But I have set up a few posts to publish while I’m gone, in case you get lonely.
• The girls went on a little spa day with Nena this week in preparation for the trip. The ladies at the nail salon adore Em and Addie and always try to outdo each other on their nails. This time the girls got polka-dots on their fingers and some cool Hawaiian flowers on the thumbs. Ad got dragonflies on her toes and Em got  ladybugs, of course!

• Addie is also fascinated with Hot Wheels right now. She had one car that she got from a birthday party that she has been zooming all over the house, so Daddy got her some new ones and they spent Father’s Day playing cars. I think J. may have preferred that to the usual princess tea parties and Polly Pocket extravaganzas.

• Em is still wiggling her teeth and trying to get them all to fall out. Although now her bottom two adult teeth are coming up behind, so we really do need to get her baby teeth out. Not good. So we will be trekking to the dentist the day we get back from vacation. Hopefully she will have wiggled them out by then.
• I’m sure there is other stuff to tell you, but right now it is fighting for space in my head with my everything-I-need-to-get-done-to-go-on-vacation list. So instead, I will bid you all ALOHA, and see you next week!
