oh i don't even know where to start...it's been three months since my last post.
last day of school, summer break, vacation, 4th of july, four birthdays and school starting; that's everything we have done since my last post!
i currently find myself sitting at the top of the stairs waiting to see a baby pop his or her head out of the door. and before i was completed with that sentence i heard the knob turn. oh it's gonna be one of those nights isn't it? both babes have mastered climbing out of cribs and we even invested in a rather expensive crib tent that is supposed to keep them contained...yeah right; not my kids! so i am sure this is the first night of many to prove sleepless and a bust. yeah for me!
summer...five kids (at one time six) two dogs, a cat, a husband that works far too many hours and a house that I can't keep up with. that's it in a nutshell. i took the kids on vcacay to see Grandma while Bart worked. We had lots of fun in Iowa. Who would have thought that?
I also attended my 10 year high school reunion. It was ok. Not nearly as lively as I would have thoguht with that group but hey it was night away! I did get to talk to some friends that I haven't seen in forever.
of course we have been doing lots and lots of cook outs with neighbors and friends and family.
more excitingly though...we are getting away! that's right; just me and bart. i can't believe it. we are leaving in about a month for a five day trip to Tennessee. Nothing real big, just staying in a cabin the mountains for some R&R. Aaaahhhhhh, I can imagine it now. That's the only thing that has kept me sane all summer long.
But for now I hear nothing but silence coming from behind the bedroom so that means one of two things...they were successful at another jail break and are sneakily playing in the closet or they have finally given in for the night. Either way I had better go check.
Check back soon and we will talk about this whole no crib thing is working! HAHA
