I need to blog soon before I forget all that's happened!
We went on vacation last week to Virginia Beach and this weekend we're heading to a wedding that I'm in.
Hopefully I'll be able to post lots of pictures from our adventures!

Random Happenings
Just a few random thoughts to send your way....
My legs are super smooth. I have a small stash of free Mary Kay stuff that I've gotten over the years (huge fan of their products). Finally busted out a little bottle of lotion. Love it.
I've been working on getting rid of my tan lines. Especially on my arms. Going pretty good, I guess. My lower arms are a lot darker than the top still. But, my legs are looking nice.
My kids have stayed up 'till 10:00 or later pretty much every night this summer. I don't like that. I'm used to having 2-3 hours without them before I go to bed.
My kids have slept in until 8:30 pretty much every morning this summer. Now, this I like. Especially the lack of schedule in the morning. So nice to not have to rush any where.
The little neighbor girl has been playing a lot with Maggie and Michael. With her parents permission! They've even allowed her in our house. Which is great when it's really hot out and they can play in the A/C.
We're going on vacation! Not going to tell you when. I'll let you know when we return. We're heading to one of Jamie's sister's and her family. They live in Virginia Beach. So excited! They've got 3 kids around my kids ages. They get along wonderfully! Pool in the backyard. 5 minutes from the beach. Great FREE site seeing stuff. So looking forward to hanging with my family.
Brent and Sarah are getting married and I'm in their wedding! It's in a few weeks. Thus the working on the tan line adventure. My dress fits. Thank you Lord! But, it doesn't look good on me. Oh well. I'll do my make up all pretty. I'm getting my hair done and all my nails. Should be a good time!
I think that's it. I really just wanted to tell you about my super soft legs. hehehe

My Moment of Spontaneity
With the facebook world swirling around I'm not sure who all reads this anymore. Heck, I forget that I even have a blog. I only go to this site to check on my favorite blogs. The authors of those are all on facebook as well. So, there's not much activity going on. But, I know that my mom is a faithful reader and I don't like to disappoint her :)
As you know, I'm not the most spontaneous person. As the kids and I were driving home from taking Jamie lunch today we stumbled upon a sign. A very large sign. One that not only children notice, but adults as well.
THE ART OF DR. SEUSS
Naturally... er, unnaturally... we stopped to check it out.
And to our surprise we had a wonderful time! It was a very nice art gallery that was hosting an exhibit of Dr. Seuss 'stuff'. The owner? was extremely friendly and welcomed us in.
See... it's a REAL art gallery! Lots and lots of breakable stuff that costs lots and lots of money.
You can even buy the prints. They're actually reproductions. I'm not sure if the sculptures are for sale or not. Did you know that he made sculptures of his creatures? I was impressed. They were really fun to see.
All the books that they had on displayed were available to read. They even showed a documentary about Ted. It was pretty interesting. Someday I'd like to sit down and watch the whole thing.
Oh, and the best part of the visit? As we were leaving the owner said to me "You're kids are so well behaved". I looked around me assuming she couldn't possibly be talking to me about my children. But, she went on to tell me that with some people she just cringes because of how the children are touching all of the sculptures and just running around the gallery. I'm so proud of how well my kids behaved!

There's a lot going on this week. It'll be a busy and exciting couple of days.
We signed Michael up for piano lessons. He is thrilled about it! We'll see how he feels after his instructor tells him how often he has to practice! I'm thinking crazy thoughts about it. Like, maybe I should video tape his whole first lesson just in case he becomes this famous piano player and VH1 wants to do a special on the life of Michael and they need footage of his early years... hey, one can dream.
We're going to go to the Bavarian Inn for a night. Apparently they've got like 5 pools and fun water stuff for the kids. It will be so nice for us to get away as a family and just hang out together. A couple at our church graciously gave us gift cards to go. They said that the amount they gave us would be more than enough to cover our trip. So amazing!
Once I typed it out it really isn't that much going on. Huh, maybe I'm forgetting something.
Oh, I am! I'm going to go cross country skiing this weekend with some ladies from church. I haven't been since I was a kid. Looking forward to it!

Maggie went to 'school' all day today. See, she usually goes twice a week. But, since Monday was considered a payed holiday she would have only gone one day. Not a big deal. Except we still had to pay for Monday. So, I asked if she could sort of make up that day and the only time that it would work was today. Which is her normally schedule day. So we tacked on the hours that she missed and she just stayed. Poor little girl. She was there for 8 hours! She did well though. I missed her.
I did have a pretty good day. I was able to get ready for the day in record time. I went out to lunch and out shopping with my mother-in-law. Apparently the Old Navy and JC Penny at one of our malls are both closing. So I picked up some womanly essentials and also a cute black sweater, a pretty cream colored sweater, a cute little brown corduroy skirt... oh, and 2 cool shirts for Michael. Afterward I came home and rushed and cleaned up a little around the house to make it look like I worked all day :)
Tomorrow my sister, her 2 children, and my mom are coming for a visit. So excited! Now all I have to do is go to bed early.

Saw this while running errands with the family last Friday. It made me giggle. A lot. I didn't have my cute little red camera on me though. So, Jamie surprised me and took the picture with my cute little red camera when he passed the sign the other day. Love him :)

Doin' a Little Dance
Today is a day of celebration!!
Not sure if I told you all or not, but awhile back (it seems like months ago, probably was) they tore up our street and dug really deep holes and replaced stuff. Oh the dirt! Our house was, and still is, very filthy. It's caked with this yellowish dust stuff. Yuck!
Today they put on the final layer of black top! The road is so smooth :)
Funny thing though... my car was actually stuck in our driveway.
Maggie and I were sitting on the porch waving and cheering as the workers drove past doing their jobs. About a half hour later I realized that it was time for me to go pick Michael up from school. They said that I couldn't drive on the new road for about an hour. That would make me very very late.
Thankfully my inlaws (who live across the street) had their car out so I was able to use it to get Michael.

It's 68 right now and yet the high for today is predicted to be 63.
There's been some sort of truck parked at one of our neighbor's houses. It looked like a sheriff suv thing. Lights and all. Then, it looked like it had some words printed on it. One word being service. Not sure what's going on. So, for the sake of making this morning interesting we'll just say it was the sheriff.
I was suppose to wake the kids up 5 minutes ago. I haven't finished the cup of coffee that I brewed so I'm taking one for the team and we'll be late today. At least I'm all showered and dressed.
