Our summer in Bullets

As I warned at the beginning of summer we have been crazy busy. I mean there is busy and then there is just flat out, scare your mama crazy and that is where we are at the moment. Since I have missed so much I am going to sum it up in bullet form. Here I go.

• We bought a hybrid camper and took it out for a really long weekend. It was great. We were tent campers before but once I entered my 3 decade of life I discovered that I am just too old for sleeping on the ground in the heat.


• Beau placed in the district chess championship.


• Princess is preparing for Kindergarten and is telling everyone that will listen that she is not in pre k anymore and that she will get to ride the big bus with her big brother next year.


• Mike has taken a class each session this summer meaning he is not around mon-thur nights and he is not happy about missing summer. He thinks that the whole point of going to school is to enjoy summer vacation but that is not the case when you are working on a masters.


• Beau turned 10. That's right..... double digits. He had a paint ball party and even covered in bruises he had a blast. He is quick to let me know that he is wanting to get back out there and cover his dad in paint. He had lots of friends and family show up to both the war and the cookout and you know that is what he wanted the most. He also enjoyed getting enough money to buy a new DS since his old one passed on to the arcade in the sky.


• Princess is still doing great in Gymnastics and I am truly amazed at how that shy little girl can whip herself around a bar or skip down a beam. She really loves it and reminds us every Wednesday that it is nastics day. She has even been teaching Link how to tumble but he is taking things a bit to far by doing actual back handsprings. Scared the crap out of me the first couple of times.


• Speaking of Link.... He will be starting the 3 year old pre K school here in town. We lucked out that the stars lined up for a split second and allowed him to slide into a spot. He is really excited about going to a real school and I am feeling old since all my kids will now be official school kids. Sigh.


• I have been a hard working woman. I have helped Beau earn 18 of the 20 badges for webelows, been a taxi cab, cook, housekeeper, full time worker, nurse, YW president, understanding and loving wife and most of all mom all summer and I am about worn out. I might talk mike into a weekend get away as soon as we get a free moment...... might be in a few years if I wait for a free moment.

This is a rough sum up I know but I am still busy and will try to at least update once a week. Hope you are all having a great summer!
