Anna-Laura and John Paul went to "camp" this week up at St. Helen. Can I tell you how much fun they had? Can I tell you how much fun I had with just two kids???? Scott, Will, Clare and I even went on a lunch date yesterday. Heaven, I tell ya. Funny, when we had one, I remembered thinking it was so much work - HAHAHAHA (hold on while I pick myself up off the floor). Now, we're a fam ...

Will, ever the reader, decided to set up a "Book Fair" in our hallway. He was charging 1-cent per book, with a limit of 4. But, he's evidently learned a thing or two from his Uncle Cory. Books just went up to 4-cents, no limit. But, when I picked out my 3 books, he told me I owed 75-cents. His reason? "The price is going up and the store is about to close, Mom."

Man, not much has changed except that now we think we looked so much better in college!! The time was way too short, but I'm grateful for the few hours that we did have. We must do that again soon.On Sunday, we enjoyed brunch with my parents and some family ...

What do you think?Will and Ms. IHis adoring fans - minus Clare Bear (she was parked next to Papa!)The class with ...

Yes, today's the big day. And, in my head it was on par to be a super fantabulous day.

So, here is today's...TOP TEN UNPLANNED THINGS I DID ON MY BIRTHDAY1. 10:15a. Get so dad gum dizzy I almost hit the wall. Laid on the couch forever watching Noggin making sure the kids didn't tear ...

Summertime means water, late mornings, flip flops and CAMP!! Will started "Art Camp" this week with his "most favorite" teacher, Ms. I. She is phenomenally talented, so patient and the first teacher we heard about when Will started school. We are really going to miss her next year when she moves to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.Each year, the kids do some amazing art pieces using different mediums, different paints and techniques. My dad, a commercial art major himself, was quite impressed ...
