Oh there is so much to tell you about today...
First, There is a BIG SALE on the Sx2 stuff over at The Daily Digi. If you are wondering what exactly Sx2 is, well today is the day you can "Read All About it"...& over on the left hand side bar under "for the Love of Papr & Digi", you can see how I am the "Not-a-Digi" person and simply print all my "junk" onto paper an then play with it...go on..go look...you can come right back when you are done...
second, school is officially OUT!!!!
We hit the skatepark, In-N-Out and then the boys "stayed up late" tillike, 11pm or so (and I was up too!) Here is a look back at the first day & last day...both of the boys took a growth spurt this year. It makes me sooo sapppy to think that Ben will be in 5th grade..Jack will be in 8th grade...and gulp...we will have another one before you know it. Yesterday as we were getting ready to head to school, I was squeezing Ben telling him that I just could not believe that he was getting soooo big and he said "that's all right Mom, you will have another baby soon"...ugghhh....it's those "how can I love another" feeling creeping in. I know I will, but I suppose these are the beginnings of raising a blended family. I want Jack & Ben to KNOW completely that they are NEVER being replaced, nor do I want them to feel 2nd to a new baby....any advice and words of wisdom can be emailed to me at anytime!
Regardless...it is summer...so it is back to work early & late for me and fun in the middle. This is really "Our Every-Other-Year" Family Vacation to Maui...but due to that DUMB dumb DuMb economy...we will not be sifting the Maui sand with our toes. We are however doing a few little local vacations...Wednesday, we are heading to Arizona (without the DOG) for some fun & sun with Grandma & Grandpa at the Arizona Grand...and in July we will be "roughing it" in the motorhome at the beach for a whole week with Grandma, Grandpa and a whole big group of family campers!...(again without the dog)
and speaking of the dog...Jack has a new summer job as it seems I am not dealing with the smell of pets (just thinking about it makes me blllahhhkkkk) so yesterday, I trained Jack from start to finish on this:
Most Important Rule to Dog Washing..ALWAYS leave one hand on wet dog at all times or get wet (see last photo).
okay, moving on...
Deena has just opened up a new "Homeschool" Card kit for the summer and you should REALLY go check it out...and speaking of Deena...don't forget that we are have a BIG Scrap Sale in the Garage-mah-hall on FRIDAY, July 10th from 6:00 to 10:00 (or until there is no more stuff...but we have ALOT, but it is really good..so who knows!) I think we have even decided to have a little make-n-take table to play with stuff..AND maybe even a Bake Sale, too!
If you would like the address and flyer emailed to you, please email me at [email protected] or Deena at [email protected] . We will send you info so that you can "pass it on"...it is gonna be fun in the summer!
alrighty, the sun is up and I must retreat to the shead-teau to work..then we are off to the beach...and then Boomers...with some errands and "junk" inbetween...
Have a really great Friday....
Yipppeeeee...Summer is here!
