WHAT A WEEK!!!!

So, the family (all but Dad) has come & gone. It's been a crazy week. Camping on T,W,R nights, home on F. To Storyland on Saturday before work. Talk about hectic. Camping was great, but as usual no one realizes how far things are from where we were staying. It got cold the 2nd night of camping & I wished that I was home w/ my down comforter. Plus, I couldn't believe the roaming band of teenagers there at the campground. When I've gone & had K & some of her friends-they never roam. They stay at the site starting at 7pm so they don't disturb anyone. Oh well. What I had planned didn't pan out. So, to make up for it I stayed at the pool on Friday & just relaxed a bit. Saturday was a fun time. Couldn't believe how many people were already at Storyland when we got there at 915am. It was a bit strange. The new flying fish ride was awesome. T drove me & we had a blast. Rode on some rides w/ the kids & then left them w/ their Uncles & Aunts & 2 cousins. They stayed till closing & had a blast. Haven't seen the kids since 1pm yesterday afternoon. Celebration tonight at Huckins for Anne & Howard's 20 years and Anne's 15 years. In three more years it'll be my 15th, and K's 10th. Anyway...my time here is almost over & I get to go get beautiful for our anniversary dinner at the Christmasfarm Inn.

FINALLY A COOL DAY

Well, the heat wave has come & gone to some extent. We've been lucky...no big wind, thunder, lightening, rain storms like south of us. Had parents calling left & right to check on their children here at camp. Many were relieved to hear we had a little rain & some small thunder.

Celebrated M's 7th b-day today. He had some friends to Loon Lake & they swam & had cake & goodies. It was fun to see the kids all together in the water. Even some of his friends from camp came. He even got a hair cut at Sizzors of OZ this morning. Now his own version of a haircut looks good. Thank goodness for Carolyn.

K's been busy at work in the day care. She's also been gone quite a lot w/ friends. In 18 more days she figures she can drive w/ us all the time. I dont' think so. She's got other things to do then drive around w/ Matt & I in our vehicles. Although, Matt's been letting her drive quite a bit w/ him back & forth to the folks house & to Devon's pit.

E's got her schedule for KMS. On the team we wanted. I guess they didn't want to deal w/ me if they put her on the other. She's got some classes w/ K & K. She's getting a bit nervous, but I think she'll be okay. We'll just have to be on top of things to make sure she doesn't slip behind or feel that she has no voice in the new school. Got to get her some decent clothes & sneakers too. Plus, I think she needs cleats for soccer. E's not going to do band-thank goodness I didn't like that choice for her anyway. Rather see tha she get some help at that time if she needs it.

T's nose was a bit out of sorts this morning. B-day presents & he couldn't play with them for a week. How easily he forgets that M couldn't play w/ his stuff for a week. Oh well. They were both playing with some sort of race car thing when I went home at dinner to drop off pizza. No fighting as of yet...at least no phone calls from home that there's a problem.

Anyhoo...Hucksters & Candlelight tonight.
