Plus Forty Four

That is what it feels like with the humidity today, it really is +34. YIKES. It's been like this for a few days and no end in sight. I'm so thankful we have a little window air conditioning unit, makes it bearable in here and we are all happier because of that (me anyways).

We haven't been up to much lately, nothing exciting anyways. We had a garage sale on Saturday, the Saturday previous to that we went out of town to my aunt and uncles 25th wedding anniversary. It was nice to get out of town again for a bit. Also have had the odd visitor, my sister and her little ones whom I can't get enough of, Aubrie (she's soooo cute!!)

I have been babysitting Isabella (my brother's daughter) this past week, and again for another week. It's been different having a little one around again. I'm not used to being followed, it's been a while (my baby is 4). Looking so big in the double bed!!

We've also been sick aswell, a little flu that has been going around the family. Noah and Breanna on Wednesday, me on Thursday and Em and Alexa today. Hubby feels yucky too. But we are on the mend. We have made some time to go to the spray park a few times: (I though this pic was so good, I took it about 10 feet away from the play structure, and they all happened to be in the picture, and no other kid fully visible, and there were quite a few there!!!!)

No stamping (cept a very quick card for my aunt and uncle) No scrapbooking. I'm going through some serious withdrawls. I think I need to do something about it and soon!! Any suggestions??

Have a HOT week, I'm mean great week!!

A glimpse into our weekend

We had some fun on the beach. A little too much sun though, I got really burnt, and so did Noah and Alexa and my hubby too! But we had so much fun!














We had naps (Em, hubby and I while the other 3 played sooo nicely)









We washed dishes (mostly I did, but I had help from a few others)









We went fishing (I forgot the camera, but this is noah looking through his tackle box)




Our first camping trip to Rowans Ravine was fun! Saturday morning I was ready to go home, but sunday morning I was telling my husband was we were driving away, I want to go back...We are looking forward to our trip in August!!

This Just in.....

We're going camping, we're going camping...that is if I don't loose it first!!!! My goodness! I love my kids, don't get me wrong....you'd think that after telling them over and over about something like oh, the water hose, they'd learn...My son wants to water the flowers, GREAT, go ahead, saves me a little time!! In the house, packing madly, cleaning madly and what happens, freaking mothers instinct pops into overdrive...I say to my eldest daughter (whose helping me get ready inside), "I better go outside make sure they aren't getting muddy and wet" Cause you know, ya don't want muddy wet kids in the van on the way to our 'vacation' SIGH. What do you know...water hose no where near the flowers, but I guess they though the slide needed to grow a few inches....{insert screaming here}

Ok, now that I've cried and prayed and typed, I think it's all good now...no wait, they are still outside...Have a great weekend everyone, and hug on your kids a little, but not too tight ;)
