We had to run some errands, so we took a slight detour to the mall. Luckily, Banana Republic and Gap had great deals – an extra 40% off sale items. I got this headband for only $11.

We’ve come across a bit of a stumbling block with this project. Our monitor should have been thrown out about a week ago, but before we could actually throw it away, we had to accept the idea of spending money. We finally gave into the idea and bought a laptop on Sunday; however, it hasn’t even shipped yet (it’s supposed to be delivered between July 1-7). I wish we shopped around more because I’m not sure how much longer we take with this monitor… The lines are blurred and there is dark streaking across the entire screen… Viewing pictures on the camera’s little screen is easier than on this monitor. Ugh.

Happier thoughts. My mom gave me this magazine and it might force me to get a bit crafty or at least bake some cookies this weekend! Aren’t these cookies pretty? My dream job would be to work for Martha Stewart. Maybe Temoc should apply to Columbia Dental School? :)
Despite being rainy, today was a great day! We got to hang out with Jaime and Joaquin. I guess we were having too much fun because I forgot to take a picture. :(
A picture of Remi will have to do…

Normally, Remi is scared when Temoc tries to play with him. This time, however, Remi was ready to play :)

We relaxed and ran a few errands today. As always, Remi participated in this lazy day…

Joaquin doesn’t have the patience to pose for a picture, so I only got this half smile… He’s still cute. :)

Temoc did very well on the DAT! We are both so excited!! I couldn’t be more proud of him. He has just a few more things to wrap-up, and then he will have to wait for interviews. In the meantime, he can enjoy the summer (without school or studying)! Luna is happy that he’ll be able to play with her more now ;)

Here are his scores for anyone who cares:
Perceptual Ability: 21
Quantitative Reasoning: 18
Reading Comprehension: 23
Biology: 22
General Chemistry: 30
Organic Chemistry:21
Total Science: 23
Academic Average: 23
The dogs were really hot on our walk today. As soon as we got back, they both decided to lay in the kitchen to cool off.
Tomorrow morning, Temoc will be taking the most important test that he’s ever taken. Please wish him luck!
Luna decided that Remi’s head was the perfect place to drop her toy. I wasn’t even close to him, so maybe she was trying to get him to play? It obviously didn’t work…

2 more days left (or about 24 hours of studying left)! Yay!!
**We’re late posting Day 175, but we took the picture and wrote the blog post yesterday – we just didn’t put the two together last night! :/
I love long summer days. We actually have natural light at 6:00 in the morning (!), so I can quickly take pictures of the dogs when I’m getting ready for work. I meant for this to be a cute picture of Remi’s face, but he yawned. I know I’ve posted a yawning picture before, but it’s still cute the second time around, right?
I’ll continue the countdown… Just three more days until the test! We both can’t wait. ;)
