Busy Gals!

Tsk tsk on moi. A brand  new blog and I can't even keep up with it! In all fairness this summer has been busy! I am not complaining because I know without a shadow of a doubt my kids have had an amazing fun-filled summer they won't forget. With the exception of Joey, unless he turns out to be some super human memory master baby...which I am highly doubtful of - but anything is possible, right?!

Here are some highlights

• Many, many, many pool days. - Girls love it, I love it, baby man not so much. He enjoys flying all around the edge of the pool and giving mommy heart attacks. We got our tans on anyway!

• 2 vacation Bible Schools - and the best part of that is MARILYN GOT SAVED! I am so happy for her and she is so dedicated to reading her Bible it just fills me with joy.

• Fun arts and crafts with the girls - in addition to some organization and PURGING of old things taking up space. I love goodwilling it and my girls do to. When I say do you think you can find some toys to give to kids who don't have any - they always shock me with their generosity. Love their little faces!

• Cheerleading camp - it was hot, it was muggy, it was buggy, but Skylar LOVED it. And she gets to cheer with one of her best friends. ...Oh, and somehow I got swindled into becoming team mom. I blame it on my dear friends who have done it before and decided it is for the newbie. Thanks guys, if I have any problems I know who to come after!

• Quality time with our family - Many dinners together..I found alot of new recipes we tried out and loved. McKenzie(Aunt Mac) has been spoiling them rotten and I love having her around. Kirsten moved back to Georgia and we are so glad to have her back...our family isn't the same without her! Spent some time with my grandparents, they just love seeing the kids, and I just love seeing them. WIN WIN!

• Playdates, playgrounds, sleepovers, and a new next door neighbor to get to know - same age!

• And MOST fun of all was our vacation to Panama City Beach! My Uncle hooked us up with an amazing deal at a the beautiful Grand Panama Resort. I got to visit with my aunt and uncle, spend lots of time with my dad and the kids, shop shop shop til I dropped(not really I could've kept going but the card wouldn't have kept up with me!), and best of all my sisters were down at the same time. It was awesome to have them there, the kids got to play with Ben, I got to visit with Lisa and Aunt Tammy, and I had my BEST friends with me - it was amazing.

Only one week left of summer! For once I got school shopping done early - no fighting crowds and depleted aisles for me! What to do to keep us busy from now until next week...
