Summer!!!

Wow, I feel like I haven't blogged in forever!! So much to say...

First off the summer is going great especially now that we had some really nice weather, unfortunately we have to suffer through a couple of cool days until we get some more of it!!

We've made it out to the drive in a couple of times now, we're really enjoying it this summer, the kids think it's the greatest thing ever!!

Got our pool all around and clean and have enjoyed swimming in it this week.

Our garden is growing great, the kids go out to check on it every day. I love that they are so excited over every blossom that they see!

I've decided that this week is my kids official no week of TV, computers or any electronics. This week is always really fun and I always do it a couple of times during the summer. It starts out like this "But Mooommm there is nothing to do, we're sooo bored" and it ends in my kids playing with toys they haven't played with in a long time, playing with each other beautifully and very little fighting!! It's weird. I've noticed my kids (especially Jack) getting a little moody, wanting to watch a little too much TV and video games, fighting a little too much and I know that this week really will clear that up for a little while...so here we go!!

We'll be in Raleigh NC in two weeks...YIKES!! Driving down with Tim for a work trip and to check out the town to hopefully fall in love with it, or know we don't want to live there!! Keep your fingers crossed for me, I'm really hoping this will aide in our moving decision!!

Tim is on MULA next week, so I think we're going to head over to Lake MI for a day, to enjoy the beach a little. We're deciding if we're going to go to Michigan Adventure or not, but I think we'll pass this year since we'll be going to Raleigh the next week!! I think that Olivia and I will also be heading to the American girl store in Chicago with the Valentine girls that week also!! I'm very excited for this, we're going to celebrate Olivia's half birthday (since hers is right before Christmas) so she will be able to pick out a couple of new things for her dolls. I think I might do this for her every year, it's such a bummer to get almost all of your presents in a 6 day span. So I'm just planning on letting her spend half of her Birthday money there!!

Well that was just a ton of updates on what's going on with us, just to let you know we're still here, we're just really enjoying this summer weather!!
