Skatin'
The fantastic PTO at our school for next year has decided that getting the kids together during the summer would be fun. And tonight was our first attempt. A skating party. We all went to the Skatium and had a blast. It was raining cats and dogs out but 32 kids skated and their parents visited. I think a good time was had by all. The next time we get together will be a swimming party. Woohoo!
The pictures are not that great on this outing. I forgot my camera at home so I had to use my phone. Other than not being big, in focus or sharp, they're pretty good, don't you think? The top picture is Becky, the beloved new babysitter. She runs, jumps and plays with the children. They beg for her to come babysit them. This is Brady. Yep, he let 8 little wheels get the best of him. He gave up skating early on and decided to play video games instead. This is Becky and Madeline. And, this is Sadie and Becky. Pretty clear pictures, huh?
I am a mom of 5 beautiful, smart, wonderful children. But who doesn't believe that of their children? OK, I have a 27 year old who is married to a lovely young lady who I am proud to call my daughter-in-law. I have a 23 year old who tours with the band "Super Water Sympathy" and you should check them out. I have a 14 year old softball playing girl. I have a 12 year old independent, free spirit and a 7 year old cute as a button. Our life is never dull. Our house is rarely clean (all of it - all at once)and my meals are rarely well rounded. But, we have fun and make fun memories. Opening day of baseball season is a national holiday in our house. Oscar night a night that mommy should not be disturbed and Sundays are a day of rest or should be.

Favorite thing to hear "No, I'll get up with the kids, you stay in bed and sleep in". Oh wait, I made those words up, I've never actually heard them.
