Nice Break

Well I got a nice break from the boys yesterday afternoon. Rachael took or should I say got coerced into taking Colby & Austin for the afternoon. They had a great afternoon of swimming and playing pool. I on the otherhand got a wonderful afternoon of peace and quiet. The little ones were all down for nap and I got sometime getting some cleaning done and just sometime with myself.

These times are rare and far between so I enjoyed the time. It may have only been for 4 hours but sometimes that is all you need.

I picked up the boys and then headed to Jeff's softball game at Derryfield. I always love going the boys amuse themselves and I just get to hang out with friends. Steph and Nancy met me their to pick up the twins and hang out for awhile. They have a way of making me laugh.

So all in all a pretty good day.

Summer is flying by

Wow I can't believe it is the middle almost end of July already. Where has the summer gone. Just give me more time, more time.

Well we went camping last weekend. Other than being a little muggy we had beautiful weather. We also went camping with some fun people which always makes the time a lot more enjoyable. We are planning to go again the first week in August. However, we will have to see about money.

We will have to see about money because abruptly Tuesday night I got a call from Heather saying that she was on maternity leave effective immediately so I would no longer have Kaleb any longer. I am saddened by this since I never even got to say good bye. Plus with no notice given to me I had to preparation in preparing for the financial loss weekly. The only good thing is I will no longer have to deal with the Heather and Shane. No animosity here.

Also managing to get over lovely posion ivy that my husband decided to not so nicely share with me. Ugh I have never had this before in my life and I don't ever want it again.

Okay well that's it for now.

What a weekend!!!

Wow what an incredible few days. Thursday I took Austin, Tyler, Brady, Rachael & Logan to the town pool. Colby sadly was unable to attend due to his behavior. So as Rachael can attest to he threw quite the crying hysterical fit. Oh well hopefully he learned a very valuable lesson.

Friday we attended the Wall family 4th of July extravaganza. What an incredible party and time. The kids as well as Jeff and I had a BLAST!!! They even lit off an amazing display of fireworks that I have seen. I also finally ordered some 4th of July scrapbooking items so I looked forward to all the photo opp's. Here are a few as mine are already out being developed.





Saturday we went down to Plymouth MA to my cousin Terry's for a lobster and clam bake. She lives about 3 miles from Cape Cod. Her house overlooks Cape Cod Bay. Yeah can we say gorgeous. We had an awesome time but whew what a ride 2 hrs one way. So we stopped at our friend Brian's on the way back to let the kids have a break and go swimming. Then we were almost home literally pulled onto our street and my dear child Austin who notoriously gets car sick throws up all over Colby and I mean all over his head. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! I emptied the car and Jeff took it too the car wash where he vacuumed, washed and fragrances the whole car.

Then on Sunday we got up and headed to Clough State Park. We had amazing weather and such a great time. We don't usually get family days like these often. We managed to soak up every available moment. However, my less than brilliant husband gave the woman a $20 to get in, it cost $10 and only got $2 change and didn't notice she shorted us $8 change until after we had left.








Well as you can see it has been a whirlwind of a few days but we have made some wonderful memories and I wish we could have more long weekends like this one. So awesome. Hope all of yours were equally as good.
