So, yes, we are enjoying the summer. The kids have had a blast. They have a list going of all the things "we did on our summer vacation" and it's hanging on the 'fridge.
For two kids who have been out exactly 36 days tomorrow - they have already filled an entire sheet of paper! (granted, it has things like "friends over to spend day swimming in pool", and "sleepover with friend" and such, but hey, it *was* an activity different than the mundane school days life, yes?)
Today, I wanted a little break from our house, and our neighborhood, you know change of scenery. So we went on a little errand/fun run all three of us. We got C's hair cut, and K had some really cool twisties put in her hair, too; we picked up a gift card to a coffee shop that I won from a radio station - $50! gift card - woohoo! Spent some time with my mom; and hit the library to turn in our hour cards, and receive this weeks prizes for reading.
By the time we got home again, we had a little while before K's gymnastics (she can do her backhandspring ALONE! :O) some friends from dh's work came over this afternoon for a little bit before dh went to his baseball game, to swim, and wrestle with the kids in the pool (they love our kids) That was the day ..... it was a nice day. Really nice.
And we got some encouraging news from this career opp that S has before him - the manager had asked him in tomorrow morning for another "chat" about details, and he phoned several of his references today. (always a good sign!) This is something he is so interested in, and SUCH a great fit for him. Time for a change from his 7+ years at the current employer. He is so ready to expand and explore. So ready for something to excite him professionally again. So if you have any extra pv's hanging around, could you send them S's way for this "chat" tomorrow?
The kids and I are heading to a butterfly farm, and a Save The Bay ExpoCenter tomorrow, and they are so excited about it! (me too!) I will be sure to have my camera, and post them when I get them all back.
Oh, and K is in *crisis* with this hanging-by-a-thread front tooth. Dear me. If that thing isn't out soon, I may have to take some drastic measures, and yank the sucker out. (bloody toothbrush tonight sent her to the stratosphere. can you say d.r.a.m.a )
So, that's the little bit I have. There's been a nice lull for a few days. I'm sure it'll pick up again.
Off to bed with me, now ..... g'night.

What a cool idea for a list! Ours wouldn't have been very fun this summer; it has surely been the worst summer ever for us.
We'll be off to meet teachers later this morning, and school begins on Monday (well, it does make things easier to keep clean in the daytime, I guess). I think we'll be heading to Kennedy Space Center next weekend, which is probably the first big thing we've done. I'm probably going to board the dogs and take the whole weekend to enjoy. (Maybe.)
Gosh, Kim's water shortage requirements are depressing; I wonder if it's like that in CA? Probably. Ugh. Here, we have rain nearly every day and it's wonderfully lush and green. I'm really going to miss the green!
Like Kim, I'm sending PVs for S's chat and for K's tooth; hope you have some good news to share on both fronts very soon. :D
Can't believe all the school stuff, for you and Kimn, and Nat. Our school starts in September. We're barely beginning to relax!
A butterfly farm sounds sooooo cool. Oh, M wouyld love that.
