The season is progressing

As I was driving home from work this afternoon, I noticed that the tulip trees are starting to drop their petals, carpeting the ground beneath them.  They are still pretty, but I am sad to see them start to go by.  I loved to look at them so much when they were at their peak!

The cherry trees seem to be at their peak right now, and they are very pretty, too!  The crab-apples seem to be starting to bloom, and I was surprised to see several rhododendrons in bloom already – I wasn’t expecting them so soon!

Party planning for the fall – already!

My kids have approached me about their hopes to have a big Halloween Party this coming fall.  They want to decorate the house like a haunted house, and invite all of their friends, our family and neighbors.  I guess they figured that they should give me as much advance notice as possible, which is a good idea because I like to plan things out in great detail in advance.

We have started looking for Halloween Costume on the Internet already, and have found a really good website – it is called www.incostume.com.  They have a great selection of costumes in all sizes and themes.

Tax time

I’ve been bugging my youngest son to give me his W-2s so I can figure out his taxes.  I had done my taxes last month, claiming him as a dependent, expecting that would be the best course of action.  Well, he finally did so, and after figuring out his/mine/ours, I have to send in a revision to my taxes in order to save us the most money.

GRRRRRR……  What a pain in the neck!

Credit card charge for paintball supplies

Looking over the Discover Card bill that just came in, I saw a charge that I didn’t recognize and had to check with my kids to verify it was ok, and what it was for.  Seems that my youngest son has decided to get involved in playing paintball!

He had ordered a couple of spyder guns for him and one of his friends to use when they play paintball together.  He says he had found a website (www.pntball.com) where he could buy cheap paintball guns, so he ordered them from the website.   He said that this was the best website with the best name brands, cheapest prices and free shipping.  (He also said he’d send me a check to pay me back!)

I hope he has a lot of fun playing paintball!
