Mid-Summer

The garden is finely looking good. Most things rotted......it looks like we will get some tomatoes, corn, pumpkins, maybe watermelon......

Now some time to just hang out at home in the pool.....read, I just finished Harry Potter today.....loved it.....great end......

Hair cuts for vacation and start of school.........

Family reunion was good.....it will be great for me next time.......

One of my favorite things....old wooden bridges......you have to wonder how stable they are when the boards pop up and down as you go across.....

Fourth of July.....we did our own fire works.....the kids loved it..........

Some of them anyway.....I'm not saying who had issues...........

Some time with family.............note the long hair......all gone.........

She was more concerned about keeping the dirt off her base................

Its the thought that counts, right....I do not know why my children insist on me making their B-day cakes............

Summer Flying by

Summer has been flying by..........new toys......... Swim lessons............5 days a week for an hour a day $5.00 for the month and a bus will come and pick them up and bring them home???? Than a daily trip to the park............

A lot of waiting around for Cinnamon's activities......... Cheer leading camp..............
Now just to get this family reunion over...July ..no formal activities........NOT ONE................
This does include having a small child come visit, she would have a wonderful time..........doing fun summer activities....playing in the park, reading books, crafts, spending time with her cousins, her Aunt........who would say no to this....... so much summer fun.............

Soccer is finished......

Sunday I come after Mass to the following message on the phone: "I just wanted to call and say I love you in case I fall into the ocean." This from a child getting ready to fly across the ocean.....not funny.......

So we got Mandrake up and out but he was going to be 20 min late.....Elderberry on his way out asks me to call the school....I call she laughs and says ok....than I find out Elderberry had called right before me and said something different........
