A countdown, some random thoughts, a festival and stuff...

Oh yes indeed...we are in the 8th week of my mother in law being here..and leaving...in 6 days.  School is ending in 4 days..kids are going to nanna and popops in 5 days and WE WILL BE ALONE FOR 6 DAYS!!!!!!!  Which is a good thing because I now know what my breaking point is and it's not pretty. 

With that ...Im also going to start getting back on track with the blog and pictures.  Travel has been kicking my *** and it's not letting up through August.  We are working on a new summer plan...our babysitter is watching the kids this summer and we joined a pool.  I have a calendar that is jam packed with free movies, bowling, library events, tutoring, pool, dentist and ortho appts...I pray my babysitter doesnt run in horror at the schedule!  According to my calculations this is less expensive than full time summer camp so I do hope my master plan pays off. 

a early may swim at our friends the Dassau's

a moment of brotherly love in helping with math...

we headed out for our city's yearly Buck Creek Festival...

we ran into the Bratina's...so the boys stood in line

for the jump/flipper thing...  well, you can see..

then we needed an icy

then for the first time, I agreed to let them roam the amphitheater with their

friends...and there they go

and then we see them again with a larger group.  Melissa

teased me that they just finished off a bottle of Jack by

the back side of the creek.  Humor was not found in that!!

shocker...Tom...Michael...Beer truck...

at the festival you can buy a little duck and at 1:00 they do the duck

rance off the Buck Creek Falls...

chilling outside with their new bey blades...  yea, I have no idea.
