First Week of Summer!!

*SIGH*

I heart summer. I don't mean because I don't have to work (though that is a plus); I love summer because I get to be a full time Mom. I love it. It is so amazing to spend time with my boys. Though we are a little sad because this is John's busy time (as if they have slowed down in the past 3 years), but it really is me and the boys.

We were at karate the other night and I was so offended by one of the stay-at-home-moms, I realize it is not an easy task, I do that even if it is for a short time, but some of these women have issues, I am saying SOME, because I have some great friends that are SAHMs. Back to why I was so offended, she knows I am a teacher because she has talked to me about how in about 4 years her husband is going to make her work. (just from that line, I think you have met a woman like this at least once in your life), so she sees me and she ask me "How is your summer going? Or is it hard on you?" Me:(giving her a I-want-to-pull-your-hair out look) Uh, no I don't see why I would not like being off and with my children. Her: Oh, well, I mean your not use to taking care of the boys full time, so I thought you might find it hard. (Is she wanting me to agree here?) Me: Ya, no problems here, I have the taking care of kids things down. Considering I can handle 140 teenagers everyday, I believe I got this parenting stuff down, most of the time...Her: That's good, oh, so in so has to go to the bathroom, I'll be back. Me: Take your time. REALLY, did I just have that conversation. Some people have no clue or tact.

Okay, my rant is over. Sorry. ;) We had a great week, we kind of found a routine, get up when you want, eat breakfast and then get out and go do something. Nap/swim/work-out. Play, eat dinner, bath, play/clean up house, bedtime. Nothing to it. The boys' had their well baby/child check-ups today. Henry is right on track, Jayce same, he was not a happy camper though with shots and a finger prick. He has slept a lot today.

Here are some pictures from the week:

On Henry's last day of school he was asked to draw what he wanted to do this summer. This is the result. The break-down: 1. Wants to go fishing at the beach (thus the blue squigglies (water) Orange (sand) and the hook stick figure (Henry fishing.) 2. A picnic (the orange grid with a black rectangle and circle.) 3. Swimming: (blue cylinder) and 4. The park, self explainatory! I LOVE THIS!!

Week 1 is under our belts, again, summer can always take its sweet time. We still have many things we want to enjoy. Hope everyone has a spectacular summer. You will be hearing from us soon. ;)
