Saturday

Well, it is Saturday...more than a week since my last blog entry. Things are slowing down a bit as far as events we are going to. My nephew is doing the music factor and I am his ride so i can't go too far from home. The kids have been playing on the waterslide and every Tuesday and Thursday we go to my sisters house for pool swimming. Mondays we hit the library for story time and activities. In 2 weeks we leave for our big annual Bass Lake vacation! YAY Unfortunately, I have been saying for weeks how I am going to get in shape and lose a few before we leave and once again that didn't happen. Oh well, I am happy and I have been hitting the gym so I feel good at least. August will be a great month. We have our vacation and then when we come back Aunica is going to have her birthday party and then on the 26th, some girl friends 0f mine from playgroup and I are going to see Wicked at the Pantages. Now, I have seen it already but it is Friggen awesome and how much better can it get than to go with friends! We are going to eat at the Hollywood and Highland mall area and have a great time. I cant wait! Then September will be here before I know it and off to school the kids go!

Friday Playgroup!

Today we had a great playgroup. Lots of kids, but no fighting. I was sad that not all of our friends were able to make it, but we had lots of fun. The kids played forever on the waterslide, we ate McDonalds, and the older girls (yeah, 5,6 and a almost 7 year old) left the swimming area to dance and since to Miley Cyrus in the girls room. The last of the moms left at like 4, and now my kids are just waiting for daddy to get home so we can go to the Bella Terra outdoor concert area (the grassy area near the movie theater) where we are going to listen to a friend of the family play and eat at La Salsa's YUM Tomorrow Aunica, Grandma, Auntie and I are going to see Kit Kitteridge the American Girl doll movie, have lunch and eat pinkberry (I don't like Pinkberry though). I will upload a couple pics from today.

More of the same

We waterslid it today...not much else. Oh, we took Aunica to the docs to have a spot on her leg looked at. The Pedi thought it was a virus type pox, she said it would go away in 3-6 months. Whatever. I am tired all of a sudden. Tomorrow I am walking some people into Dland and then probably doing more of the same summer type stuff. Wednesday my inlaws are taking Aunica to Bower's museum for lunch and then maybe a tour. I can't wait...less than 4 weeks until Bass Lake!

Wednesday and Thursday

I am just going to do these two days together. We started at the gym both days, me sweating it out for an hour while they played and watched TV in the kids club. Then yesterday we came home for some rest and lunch then headed over to our friend Stephanie's house and the kids swam in her pool until about 5 and then as we were walking home, another neighbor invited the kids over to swim...so we didn't even get into our house and off we were swimming next door, until 6 when I said we have to get home. The kids had microwave dinners and Ken and I had cereal for dinner (2nd night in a row). Then after the gym today we came home and made lunches and headed over to Atlantis Park...great park if your kids are older and can be off by themselves, but not really great with a medium sized group with younger kids because the park is HUGE. Lots of little hiding places, lots of kids from YMCA and other summer programs and while it was nice to get them outside of water type play, it was scary trying to watch them every second. Tonight we are heading to my sisters for dinner and then swimming. Tomorrow is 4th of July and we are having a block party!!!!

It's July Already!!!

Well, today we are going to do nothing. Maybe do the waterslide but not much else. Yesterday we went to storytime at Haskett Library and then went to a friends house to swim in their pool. I took some more video of the kids in the pool, we had lots of fun. Then we came home and read books (Aunica read to me, and I read to Jack) and both kids did some book work. Jack knows most of his letter names and almost all of the sounds they make. The really weird thing with him is that when we count things, he will count perfectly the first time (up to even 15) but then the very next time he can't seem to count past 4 without skipping numbers. The kids are in the summer reading program at Haskett Library and each week they put the kids name into a raffle and last week Aunica won so yesterday she picked up her prize---I thought since it is a library and it it was a reading program that the prize would have been a book, but fear not Aunica, it was a bunny themed gingerbread house that the kids had a great time deocrating then eating! Oh, I just got off the phone with a neighbor and she invited us to come play at Chuck E Cheeses today at 10:30, so I guess we are going somewhere today. Tomorrow we are going to Boomers with friends from New Jersey who are visiting for a week. I guess that is all I have to say right now. :)
