A Semiconscious Summer

Summer's over??? Really?!? When did that happen? It's pretty much been a blur for me! I warned my children that this summer was going to be a very different summer since we were starting it out by having a BRAND NEW BABY! Usually our summer is filled with activities like getting a season pass to some local swimming pool/water park, going on field trips, to the park, to summer movies, attending community events/parades/fairs/plays, running the Farmington Festival Days 5K/10K, going to the Library's special guest appearances, and most recently flying around on JetBlue, etc, etc, etc....NOT THIS SUMMER!

I can't really remember when the days turned to night and then to day again, let alone what went on this summer, but I found some pictures to remind me....

OH YEAH! I was holding the baby...

Nursing the baby...

Changing the baby...

And putting the baby to sleep... (and myself apparently!)

REPEAT...REPEAT...REPEAT...

As for the kids...

Ryan had to play hand-held Yahtzee

Kyle had to draw

Haylee had to "pretend" she was swimming & "practice" anywhere she could

Katelyn took all opportunities to splash & get wet in the bathroom sink since she wasn't at the pool

And then she would change her clothes a couple times a day for entertainment (& because the other ones were WET!)

And we actually opened some ROOK cards that have been sitting in our game closet for a LOOONG time (there was a coupon in the deck that expired in 1998) and used them!

And, as you can see, the kids messed around with the camera taking random pictures, as well!

All I can say is It's a GOOD THING the Olympics were on to give everyone some excitement for a couple of weeks!
But, seriously, I must thank my sisters, Beeb & Michelle for letting my kids come stay & play for several days. And my Visiting Teacher, too, invited them over to hang out and even fed them lunch - they were in heaven! Plus, my friend, Shawnette did take them once a week to the movie or her "home theatre" or to the park. So, thanks for doing all that, so the summer wasn't a TOTAL FLOP! :)

Where did it go? I'm still in shock - I missed it!
