finally jumped on the wagon

As most of my friends know, I love taking pictures. My kids would say that I take TOO many pictures! Now I have a place to post them and share my daily stories.

Thanks to a wonderful book, by Lisa Welchel (Blair from facts of life), my children no longer drive me crazy. We have been having a wonderful summer. The hard part is

finding activities that keep them occupied yet don't drain my pocket
book! So
far I have found the park to be fun, the pool to be fun for the boys AND relaxing for me, and a LONG bike ride to be the most rewarding ;)
I have also found out that you can do a lot for free. Thankfully
the movie theaters offer free movies certain
days of the week and some parks now have splash/fancy sprinkler additions to them.



Baseball season is finally over! It was fun for a bit but I was ready for it to end. The boys are now getting geared up for football. I have became quite sporty in a very short time. I am not trying to imply that I can shoot a hoop any better or swing a bat the correct way, but I at least know the rules. (If you know me you will be very impressed with my progress) I don't think I will ever receive my 'soccer mom' sticker that I always dreamed of (according to my husband soccer is a sissy sport), but there has to be a sticker out there for baseball ~ I finally have my mini-van to put it on ;)
It seems that my life couldn't be any peachier, but then again I shouldn't speak too soon ~ the boys are all asleep and soon will wake me with yet another eventful day, till then, toodle-oo ;)
