The Kids New Toy

Well, after two Saturdays of hard work, Nick, Paul and I finished the swingset. I think we did a good job.

So Close Yet So Far Away...

After spending the day inside, Kaya just wanted out to play. Unfortunately, her favorite toy didn't want to cooperate.

School's Out For Summer!!!

Well, the boys had their last day of school today. We had lunch together and played some games. In the video Nathan and his friend Tobin are playing air-guitars and Clay is with his best girl Annalise. For some unknown reason Clay had a weird fascination with his ear. You'll understand when you see it.

Playin' Tag

Okay here's the gist. Susan tagged me in this thing. (I never expected to get a chain letter regarding my blog spot.) So, now I have to announce 10 weird things most people don't know about me. Then I have to tag 10 more people and list why I tagged them, then they have to spill their guts and tag 10 people. To all those who I tagged...NO TAKEBACKS!!! You can't tag the tagger. So, send it back to me once you've done it. Now, I'm assuming you don't have to have a blog to do this. Just send it in an email. Well, here's my dirty little secrets.

1. I go to sleep at night playing an actor alphabet trivia game I made up. You take an actor whose name starts with A and link them using movies to an actor whose name starts with B in as few links as possible. Then B to C and so on.
2. My nickname in college was Shera from He-Man.
3. I love to peel paint off old buildings. I can't help myself.
4. I've brainwashed my kids into thinking I'm 3 years younger then what I really am.
5. I cut my husbands hair.
6. I'm afriad to go up the basement steps in the dark.
7. I like to watch the Backyardigans.
8. I've always wanted to go to Ireland.
9. I can't read in the car without getting sick.
10. I hate waking up in the morning.


People I'm tagging.

Nikki- Because she needs a break from looking for new jobs (he he).
Jon- I need to bug him from time to time.
Nicole- It's not like she's busy working.
Rikki- To remind her I'm still kicking.
Sasha - To take her mind off of all things baby for a little while.
Rich- I've haven't said hi in a while.
Brittani-Cause I'm sure she's got some secrets.
Jake- He's always good for interesting tidbits.
Patty - She's always making me do stuff like this.
Mom - Just to see what she'll say.

What we learned at school...

Here's a little clip of something the boys have learned at school. I was really surprised when the boys started spouting it in the middle of Walmart.

Getting Started

Hello all! Susan told me that this is the only way she can keep up with what's going on with us, so here goes.
We're all doing well. Anxious to go on vacation at the end of the month, tho. The boys have one more month left of preschool, then they are out for the summer. I registered Clay for kindergarten a few weeks ago, and it was hard! I've been waiting for it for 5 years, but now that it's coming up, I'm becoming a basketcase. Nate will be going to preschool 5 days a week as well. So, with my nest becoming quieter, I have signed up to do substitute teaching at the preschool. Nick is training for a marathon in October, so that along with work and the kids is keeping him pretty busy. I'm just doing the same as always...tv, laundry, tv, cooking,tv...The usual.
Hope all is well with everyone! Take care.
