My Parents

My Parents are celebrating there 39th wedding anniversary. That is a long time. I have thought many times thru my life, I'm so glad my parents stayed together. There are so many divorces in the world today, I'm so glad I didn't have to endure the pain that may come with a seperation/divorce. I am also glad that my inlaws have stayed together too. Sometimes I think that maybe those that have parents that get divorced are more likely to divorce themselves. But those are just MY thoughts.

School Shopping

Why is school shopping such a chore? I guess my boys just don't care what they wear. I took them to the store, and all they do is fight. THEY'RE BOYS. I should have just bought there close without them. They probably would have been a lot happier. All they really wanted were toys. Who cares about Clothes.
One more week, I'm sure glad they will both be in school this year. Having last weekend to my self has sure givin me an idea of what its going to be like once school starts. Nice and QUIET. I am so looking forward to having the days back to myself.

A weekend to myself

Ok it wasn't exactly to myself, but close. Katrina and I stayed home while My husband took the boys to a family reunion. I was able to get the laundry all caught up, the boys room clean, and other much needed cleaning done. I also spent one evening with my sister. Her city has a "scrapbook" night, so I joined her for the evening. It was loads of fun, even if I didn't get much done when I was there. I enjoy having breaks from my boys from time to time, but I sure missed them. I was glad when they got home. Its just so different while they are gone.

Perseids Meteor Shower

We went camping this weekend. We sat up late and watched the meteor shower. It was SO neat. I don't know if i've ever seen so many shooting stars. My Dad is really into that kind of stuff and has a really nice telescope. We are able to see the rings around Saturn. And the moons around Jupitor. Its so amazing what is out in the universe that we don't even know about. We always point out some of the constilations and view the planets when we are away from the city. The stars are so much brighter out in the wilderness, then in the city. Its such a beautiful sight.

Living planet Aquarium

We went and visited the Aquarium, My kids had so much fun. They have this awesome octopus. It was so cool to watch it move, ok I guess adults are fasinated by gods creatures too. They also have some really cool jelly fish. Its so weird how see thru they are. The kids also got to touch a stingray. those are so soft (and slimey). The sharks were cool too. Oh ya they had this shark egg in a light that you could actually see a baby shark inside the egg moving around.. SO COOL. I'd recommend any one to go there. But it was kinda pricey... Just get the year pass and go back. It's worth it.

Boxing up the Movies

Don't you ever wish you wouldn't have bought so many movies. Man we own so many. My kids never pick them up. so I finally went thru, put them all in there boxes and boxed them all up. It is so nice to not have such a mess. Now the kids have to ask for movies before they can have them. It has made a huge difference, so far. I'd like to go thru them and get rid of them, but there are so many disney classics, it breaks my heart to get rid of them. Someday when they stop making VCRS, I guess I'll have to give them up for the DVD'S. I'd like to get a DVD changer that would hold all the movies so they could just view a menu on the tv and pick there movie that way. Then the DVD's wouldn't get scratched.

It came and went

Well, she is now officially One. We had a BBQ and had both our families here. Talk about a full house. She's so cute. She barely touched her cake at first. I had put a candle on it and lit it, well she thought she needed to touch the flame then ended up burning her finger. Poor thing. She is fine though, and it didn't blister (thank heavens). Once she calmed down from crying and finally tasted the frosting, she loved to eat the frosting. Then I took her and gave her a bath. I got lots of pictures. I am So excited to get them back so I can Scrapbook them. What a cutie..
