Being The Grownup That's NOT Boring!

I took my kids to the splash pad today. I was absolutely amazed at how many parents sat in the hot sun on blankets and watched their kids play in the water. Not me! I got in the water with my kids and had so much fun. My favorite part had to be when Jack would sit on top of the fountains so the water couldn't come out. Then when those fountains would turn off he would stand up, pump his fist, and yell "Yes! I killed the water!" Pretty soon he had each one of us sitting on fountains so we could help "kill" the water.

Being The Grownup

It's nice to be the grown up. Nobody yells at you when you spray small children with a hose.

Something New

So how fun is it when you have been friends with somebody for years and you just figure out that you have common interests that you didn't even know about? I'll tell you..... It's LOTS of fun!

SO COOL!!!!!

I just saw wild elephants! The whole family has been using this web site that has 4 different web cams in South Africa. We have been hoping and hoping to see elephants, but haven't yet. Just now as I was about to walk away from the computer I decided to give the cams a quick look and I found an entire heard of elephants right there getting a drink. I know it is Africa and I'm no where near it, but I just saw elephants in real time!

Again?

So remember when I said I saw a guy on his bicycle carrying a ceiling fan? Well I've seen something even better now. I saw a guy riding his bike with a highchair on his head. It was pretty funny. I don't think he expected his yard sale find to be so LARGE.

Just The Boys

It seems so quiet when the girls are gone and they are gone until tomorrow morning. Now we need to figure out something fun to do with the boys tonight. Not that they need it, they got to go to a Raptors game last night. They are just so dang cute though, it's fun to spoil them.

Coco

Nicole came in on the train today. She walked in and all my kids crowded her. They all had something to tell her or show her. I was even pushed out of my seat by my 4 year old so he could sit by her. We love our Coco visits and I am always happy to claim her as my "sometimes kid". Now I have promised to take her to Walmart so she can teach my girls to make bracelets, so I guess I'm off.
