Time is a FLYIN'!

Does anyone else feel like this summer has flown? We start school in 25 days! I haven't gotten a thing done on My list and as far as my kids go...we've done nothing but PLAY, PLAY, PLAY!

So...any tips on maximizing my last 3 weeks?

Please let those Star Wars...Staaaayyyy!

The party...We had a great time!

We wore Padawan costumes, got light sabers and met Darth.

We ate light saber cupcakes, sipped on sludge from the swamps of Dagobah (sherbet in Sprite) and used the force to put out 'trick' candles!

We ran, jumped and smashed!

They went home sticky, tired and smiling...Mission Accomplished!

Some names we came up with for Poor Dave in the Black costume on a 96 degree day...

Darth Daver

Summer Darth (short sleeves)

Sweaty Vader

Darth Sweaty

He did a great job and lost 4 pounds of water weight in about 20 minutes!

WE. CAN'T. WAIT. FOR. SUMMER!

There's nothing like the FLU to make you crave getting out and get some sun! I just couldn't keep this monkey in any longer!

Aren't my kids CUTE?!?!?

Just needed to bury that last post!

My Other Little Valentines!

With Tag, it's all about those amazing green eyes.
He's got so much enthusiasm and he's so sensitive!
Today he stuck 6 M&M's up his nose, paniced and then blew them out!

Dave always says that you could run a small city on Thatcher's energy! He keeps us on our toes. His laugh is so contagious and he loves to be tickled!
Today he was called on by the Balloon Magician at his Preschool to be the "helper". After getting hit a couple of times by the balloon sword the guy made him, he turned and pummeled the poor guy (good thing it was with a balloon). The crowd was ROARING for him!

Oh, this sweet little girl in our house! She is distinctively different than her brothers. I think she'll be slow to crawl because she loves sitting back and watching the show her brothers put on! She has a great big smile and is so close to sitting up!

Fortunately, today she has been her mellow little self!
