Misc

We have had such a fun year this yearas Brownie Girl Scouts.  On Saturday, we went Ice Skating at Ice at the Parks in Arlington.  Then we drove to Camp Timberlake to check out the facilities.  Sarah and 3 friends are going there June 20-25 for Resident Camp.  6 days away from home!  She is both a little anxious and excited.  I know she will have a great time, but how we will miss her.  Especially Shane.  He asks many times a day how long until she gets home from school.  He loves to play outside with her once she gets home.  On days when she has a playdate with a friend, he will get so disappointed and say, "She has been gone all day and now she doesn't even want to play with me!"  I think he will really enjoy being in kindergarten next year.

Three more weeks of school.  Wish it were over sooner.  We are all ready for a break and the kids are DYING for the pool to open.  It has been a fun spring, being home and not subbing very often! I seem to stay busy with too many other things, but LIFE IS GOOD!

Vacation

Well, Steve is on vacation for the rest of the month!  He was also off this last week, but he went to Dallas for training.  We recently bought a partial Home Vestors franchise.  So now, he is looking to buy Ugly Houses.  He is looking to supplement his Southwest income so that he can be home more, and fly less.  We just need him to fly enough for benefits.  We'll see how this new business adventure goes! 

Our Wii got so hot earlier from being played all day by him and the kids, it kept freezing up.  Sarah loves World of Zoo and they all play Lego Star Wars.  I took two naps and read 100+ pages in a new novel.  It was a great pj day for us all.  Wish we could have these days more often!

Funny deductions

Last week, the kids were deep in thought, doing some deductive reasoning.  Their conversation went a little like this:
Shane: "Mommy doesn't let us say butt, right?"
Sarah:  "Right."
Shane : "We can say buttox, maybe it's OK for us to say fart-ox."
Sarah: "Mommy, since we can say bottox, can we say fart-ox?"
Mommy: Laughing so hard she couldn't even answer.

Kids!
