I have been neglecting the blog, and I wish it was for a really cool reason, but there's not. It's summertime and I feel like my brain has melted here in the desert, so I'll use that excuse.
Here is what we've been doing:
We try to be out of the house by 10 am, (so we can be back by noon), otherwise we're inside for the day. It is usually at least 90 degrees by then, so at least twice a week we head to one of several nearby splash pads and the kids get wet. At least the older three do, Seth and Rachel totally freak out if they get wet. I wish I could have recorded them when a kid sat down on a small jet of water and it sprayed the three of us. You would have thought they'd both been tortured, they were screaming so loud! I swear the whole park was staring at us, so I suppressed my giggles and got us out of there. It was an AFV moment, but no camera, darn it. I could really use the extra 10 grand. :)
If we don't go to the park we go to the library and the kids cause a scene, just by being their delightful selves. Kidding. Sort-of. There are five of them, after all. Hailey goes off to read by herself as soon as we enter and then all chaos breaks loose as the other four have to pull off every book they can reach and then they have to search the computer for a certain book, but really they just want to push the buttons. Can you tell it's been summer break for over a month now? This has a little bit of a manic tone starting to develop, don't you think? Sorry, that wasn't my intention.
I'll post some pictures from Trent's birthday and the fourth soon. I had a nice birthday, but no pictures. Who needs to see all the wrinkles I'm starting to get anyway?

Summertime is robbing me of my sanity

You wrinkly old woman! Oh please. Sorry your summer has been less than sane. Are you guys traditional or year round there? That would make a difference. We go back to school in 2 1/2 weeks and I'm not ready. Oh well.
See you in a couple of weeks. We got tickets to Annie in the outdoor theater and it starts at 8:30. So we will probably pick up Hailey around 7:30. It depends how far away we are from everything.
You mean to tell me your kids have AFV moments like we used to in Hawaii?? I still want to send in the one video I have of you jumping to the horn on the catamaran. Those were the days. Love ya!!
I feel like summer is robbing me of my sanity too. I hear all these fun things everyone is doing and I'm lucky if I can get my kids out of the house once or twice a week, even if it's just to run the needed errands.
I can only imagine if it was hotter and we had to deal with that. I bet I'll get my act together the week before school starts. Ha.
