good sport

I was a good sport at our makeup/ spa night for Young women's

 because I am a good sport ( never, but this particular night I was.)

 

I let the young women and my kids make me this hot!!!!

Ha. I looked like a Geisha girl gone bad. But everyone had fun.

summer 2010

this pic sums up our summer thus far......car troubles. we bought a 2004 Nissan quest van in april 08 and have loved it. UNTIL now. we have spent many thousands of dollars and were without it for 6 weeks, ( more weeks it will be in the shop I am sure) and what a pain in the rear end. my man is seen here, squished under the car trying to fix the catalytic converter. this pic is taken at 10:30pm on a cool 106 degree night! we still had to have it towed!

during which our 3 little chickens decided to have a lemonade stand. 10:30 pm. if you drove down our culdesac you would hear the SCREAMINGS of our little woman. Fruit Punch, Lemonade and popsicles coming from the boys, too.

this is sonny (our oldest) sulking because no one was buying their product.

the marketing department with cool wet shammies to try and keep them cool around their necks

tink so happy to sell.....nothing but a glass of fruit punch to her mom for 50 cents.

notice my man in the garage under the car! love him.

sonny found this praying mantis in our living room and has been tending to it! actually a pretty cool pet

I miss these 2... no time for bread. and too hot to turn my oven on.

and what my 2 youngest have done allllllllll summer. sleep til sometimes 1 in the afternoon. they are burning the midnight oil. late night movie marathons. swimming. etc.

magee is drooling,

it is 11:47 and this is what they look like. Most days these 2 miss breakfast and lunch. what a life.

tink...actually snoring can you hear her?

sonny, so in harry potter 6. he has breezed through them this summer....

until next time.

We have been so busy and it sounds cliche because I am always busy but this week we really were crazy busy. We were lucky enough to watch our good friends kids and we got to stay at their home and play with the kids all week and swim. It was a fun week, needless to say! we swam and swam and swam.

swimming. swimming. swimming. Did I mention swimming?

c, a, a, and a. what a funny bunch they are! the best of friends

C's official swim pic.

C & A are in swim team in our town. They go 5 days a week and they love it. They are getting really good to..> C swam in 3 events 100 m relay, 50 m freestyle and 25 back stroke and came in 6 out of 8 in them. He did great. Especially for his first meet. A swam in 2 events and came in 6th of 8. she did great too. I was asked to record lane ordrs and it was fun but stressful! Only 1 parent got mad at us. All in all it was a great time!
