hanging out at the pool with Shyla and our kids. Every. Freaking. Day.
It's a blast. We just can't get enough of it, and I have the best tan I've had in years from basking in the sun for endless hours. Also got the best sunBURN I've had in years, but it's gone now and I really don't like to think of it. Because of the nightmares, you understand.
Let's see, what else have we done this summer? A TON of stuff....guess I'll do a bullet-list.
- I convinced Alex to cut his shaggy mop of hair, and he loves his fresh new 'do.
- Jack made a new best friend, named Aaron, whose back yard is behind ours. Jack is over at Aaron's more than he's at home. They're like peas and carrots.
- We've made several trips to the library, and I finished the "Twilight" series. Loved it. Can't wait for the "New Moon" movie...November 20, baby!
- Alex turned 11...we had a pool party for him, of course. And ice cream cake, which was my favorite part.
- Been to several BBQs.
- Got to meet my 3-year-old nephew, Tobias, for the first time. He totally loved me, even gave me a slobbery kiss before they left to attend a wedding, then head home to Wisconsin.
- Visited my Grandma Jo and saw my dad, sister Kim and brother David there.
- Watched all of Season 4 of "The Office"...the DVD set was my Mother's Day gift, and I freaking LOVED it. Can't even tell you my favorite episode, since they were all so super fab.
- Finished another folk art doll (Flora Bloom) and listed her in my etsy shoppe, along with Aurora Fawn.
- Took Jack in for his Kindergarten physical...poor guy got 4 shots and didn't even cry. My big boy.
- Rick's taught me a few cornhole pointers and I've done a bit of practicing for the big tournament at the Tally Rally. Hopefully Rachel and I (or "Team Chowder" as we've dubbed ourselves) will be able to win at least one game. Keeping my fingers crossed.
- We've been to the pool every day...did I mention that already?
That's all I can think of for now! I've got a LOT of cleaning to do before the week is done...laundry, dishes, vacuuming...not to mention organizing the schtuff I need to take and packing for my trip. Busy, busy, busy....wonder how long I can put off the packing before it's officially considered "procrastinating?" Better not try to find out. Off to pack!
Or at least work on the list of what I need to remember to pack. That counts, right?

And we're scrapping during our time in TX WHEN!?!? lol I was telling mom about all the things I have planned to do... lol We're NEVER going to have time. Seriously.
I love The Office, it's one of my favorites! Your dolls are so unique and fabulous!
You're going to have so much fun in Texas! I took the GED test last week! Haven't gotten my results back yet, but it was HELLA easy! I don't know why I put it off so long. Starting college on-line in September. Yay! Have a good trip!
Looks like fun!
