OK, OK...I'VE CAUGHT A BUNCH OF GRIEF FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE ABOUT NOT UPDATING MY BLOG, SO HERE GOES.
WE HAVE HAD QUITE A BUSY SUMMER THIS YEAR. WE FINISHED OFF OUR SUMMER WITH A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR MY CITY GRANDMA AT THE GASTHOF...SHE WAS 90 SOMETHING...THE KIDS GOT HER A MUSICAL CARD AND A WALMART GIFT CARD...NEITHER OF WHICH SHE KNEW HOW TO OPERATE. SHE IS THE MOST HAPPY, CONTENT, PATIENT WOMAN I TRULY HAVE EVER KNOWN. I'M TRYING TO INHERIT SOME OF HER TRAITS, BUT I THINK I AM A GENETIC CLONE OF MY FATHER...HE'S A PRETTY GOOD GUY TOO, BUT MAYBE A LITTLE STUBBORN AT TIMES??? ANYWAY, HERE IS A SYNOPSIS SINCE MY LAST POST...
WE SPENT THE 4TH OF JULY WITH MY NEPHEWS FROM MICHIGAN. THEY CAME AND STAYED WITH MY MOM AND DAD FOR A WEEK OR SO. WE DID SEVERAL EXPLOSIVES...MY DAD ALMOST BLEW THE PLACE UP...BUT THE KIDS THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. WE WENT TO THE FIREWORKS AT WASHINGTON WITH MY LOVING NANNY SUE AND HER FAM...
AFTER THAT, CAME VBS AND THE BIRTHDAY FIASCO FOR THE YEAR...HAVING TWO CHILDREN IN JULY SOUNDED LIKE A GREAT PLAN AT FIRST...UNTIL WE STARTED HAVING BDAY PARTIES ALL MONTH...WE TOOK BOTH KIDS TO BUILD A BEAR (A FAMILY TRADITION WHEN YOU TURN 3), WHERE WE HAD 2 NEW ADDITIONS TO THE FAMILY...RAINBOW AND MATTHEW TRUELOVE...AVA AND JAKE'S NEW BEARS...JAKE HAD A PARTY AT H
OME AND AVA HAD A WATER SLIDE (JAKE LOVED IT TOO) FOR THEIR PARTIES...THE ADULTS HAD FUN TOO!
OME AND AVA HAD A WATER SLIDE (JAKE LOVED IT TOO) FOR THEIR PARTIES...THE ADULTS HAD FUN TOO!VBS WAS EXCITING...I TAUGHT THE 3 YR OLDS WITH A COUPLE FRIENDS...BOY, WHAT A GROUP! BUT, THEY LOVED EVERY MINUTE...ESPECIALLY CHRIS AND SHAWN WITH THEIR PUPPETS.
WE WENT TO CARRIBEAN COVE...JUST US 4...FOR THE WEEKEND AND HAD A BLAST. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. WE JUST RELAXED AND TOOK IT EASY...HUNG OUT AT THE HOTEL MOST OF THE TIME. ALSO VISITED THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
OK...AUGUST...WE HAD A LOT OF BDAY PARTIES TO GO TO THIS MONTH...AUDREY, REED, ISAAC, ETC. THEY WERE ALL A LOT OF FUN, BUT WE DID NOT GET MUCH REST ON THE WEEKENDS. WE ALSO STARTED OUR PMS GROUP AT CHURCH...IT WAS A BIG HIT UNTIL WE GOT SABATOGED BY RITA AND CARMEN:) DON'T BE JEALOUS GIRLS...I CANNOT BE IN THE GROUP AFTER NEXT YEAR EITHER:)
NOW, IT'S AUGUST 25 AND I THINK WE HAVE A WEEK TO OURSELVES. PRESCHOOL NIGHT IS WEDNESDAY, BUT OTHERWISE, NO PLANS...YET.
