A place to write about me, the kids - share, vent and entertain (at least myself!). All thanks to my best friend. By the way, I'm pretty sure she is the only person who might actually read my blog.<br /><br />So, today's fun and exciting events included my son's kindergarten class picnic - unfortunately held inside because of the neverending rain. I may investigate building an ark soon and begin collecting animals two by two. <br /><br />Everyone had a wonderful time - for the most part. I learned something new about my daughter -she is not a big fan of the giant, colorful parachute. I also learned that if you wave that giant, colorful parachute up and down for several minutes with about 20 kids between 5-6 years old and a couple of other adults you get quite the upperbody workout and can actually work up a sweat. I think I should get to the gym more often!!!<br /><br />Following the fun of climbing into and out of a hula-hoop (surprised I could do it), passing a ball over my head and under my legs, and hiding under a giant, colorful parachute while my daughter cried came the SUGAR...and lots of it. Who needs a healthy, well-balanced dinner when there are cookies, rice krispie treats, ice pops, ice cream and fruit punch to endulge in?<br /><br />We were then off to the church to register for CCD in the fall. Mission accomplished (almost). Who'd have thought to bring a baptismal certificate as proof of baptism to the church a child was baptized AT...silly me. Now if only I could locate said baptismal certificate - I could call the church and request a copy...<br /><br />This brings me to today's lesson in economics. Off to the store to buy sneakers for my son. How is it possible that a pair of sneakers for a six year old boy could cost between $37 and $54 ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ARGH!!!!!! If his feet keep growing, I may have to take out a second mortgage!!!!! <br /><br />A couple of hours later, here I sit in a quiet house, listening to the tv in the background and my children's occassional deep sighs while they sleep away up in their beds. I am constantly amazed by how many activities can be crammed into a few short hours. And these were just the highlights.<br /><br />Tomorrow's goal - figure out why I can't get my computer to recognize my digital camera - apparently they had a feud because they are no longer speaking to one another and I may have to call in the professionals. Wish me luck!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2487767079132656485-3695001596450901800?l=onemomtwokids.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Did I just say that out loud?http://www.blogger.com/profile/07095968301590985434noreply@blogger.com3
