rain

Rain. This was our first of many fun projects for this rainy day. Yes, organizing our dresser drawers IS FUN!!! Shane used to alway stick out his tounge when he was writting or drawing. They are so alike!! Right now they both are giving me a break and are each in their own bedrooms playing. I pulled out Riley some "new" army men (why they sell them in bags of one thousand is just perplexing to me!) and Adyson's dollhouse got a new kitchen makeover with all stainless steel appliances. You would think that would buy me an hour, but here she is climbing on my back as we speak. My moment is over.

no words

Shane is fine except for his broken heart.

Their first baseball game

Adyson scared of the huge fake puppy.
MMMMMmmmmmm...hotdogs.

Going into this evening, I asked Dave, "how long do you think we will last?" Dave said two hours. I thought one hour. It was actually one and a half hours. It was one and a half hours of ecstacy for Dave - who loves him anything baseball. One and a half hours of eating and climbing bleachers and trying to steal food from the people next to us and going potty for the kids. One and a half hours of my life where I had to sheild the kids from a fly ball and a playground. What in the world is the purpose of a playground at a baseball field. Doesn't it defeat the purpose? Anyway--our first game. We made it through the first quarter, and now Dave is talking about season tickets.

hot shot

Oh, look how cool he is. Check out that ride. He is on top of the world. Sha-Sha is soooo happy. Next week he's going to drive me to go and pick out his high school ring!!
I CAN'T GET OVER IT!!!!
I still remember his first day of school -- now we are buying his high school ring and he's on his second car!!!
He worked hard all summer long and saved & saved & saved. I couldn't be happier for him!! really....even with a fast ride that's a chick magnet.

is it winter yet??

Cuz my little girl is LOVING her new winter coat!!

end of summer day!!!

and you wanna know what i did today to celebrate?
nothing.
didn't leave the house.
didn't hit the park.
or the pool.

hello end of summer. still mighty glad you are here. kisses.

summer's over

to the zoo. then bowling for the evening. then off to the "beach" the next morning. all the while with Shane looking for cars on e-bay...."but mom, it's only $17,892.00. plus shipping. from croastia." I don't know if i spelt that right, but certainly you get the point.

ahhhhhh------summer's over and all the big kids will be back at school. give me back my parks. maybe I'll actually GET a chair at the pool. Fall decorations are out at old time pottery. tomorrow, I will make shane chocolate chip cookies to have when he comes home from his first day of school. ahhhhh.....the end of summer. so long.

By the way, that was my first time letting adyson outside in a two-peice. i figured i better, cuz i still have two she hasn't worn yet. only one person commented on her "belly".
