Peter & Kids Trip on the Tide Ride

This is our trip on the Tide Ride with Gramps, Grancy, family and friends. The kids had a blast. They were great. Nathan went tubing, boating and got up the nerve to jump off of the dock into deep water. Allison had fun swinging and playing in the water. Peter had the usual fun boating, tubing, skiing, football, playing in water, visiting with family and drinking beer. A great time by all. We were sorry Mommy didn't enjoy it with us.

A few days to myself..........finally..!

Peter has taken the kids for a fun few days in Virginia on the annual "Tide Ride". I was happy to have some time here alone. Get some things done.. have a little me time.
I've discovered that it doesn't really take me too long to get my stuff done when I dont have so much help!! HA
It's day 3 and I've run out of things to do/clean paint...now dont have much else to do...hence the reason i am posting..I've watched movies.. painted walls...steamed cleaned my carpets...(you know things you can't possibly do when you have two kids!) I've gotten some scrapbook pages done and bought some metallic bronze paint to paint my office ceiling. I've stared at this bottle for three days now and I can't seem to get up the nerve to actually do it. First reason is b/c i know it's gonna kill my neck to look up there and secondly I wish I knew what it would look like beforehand! I am sure that when I do paint it will be the last time I do. Other than that, quiet here and I must admit nice for the most part. And no I dont feel bad about that either!

Fourth Festivities

We had a good time this Fourth. Saturday we went to Shelby Farms to watch the Memphis Annual Fireworks show. The kids had lots of fun catching crickets and played with other kids around before the show started. We temporarily adopted little "Xavier" for the evening. Dont know where the kid came from but he just hung with us the hole time.
Tuesday night we stayed home and wated the neighbors shoot off tons of fireworks and we had quite a show.
