And I’m Not Even Pregnant!

Friday, August 15th, 2008

What’s the deal?  I will admit that last nights Women’s Gymastics All-around final had me choked up.  And I’m not even Prego!  That was a killer final and I loved every moment of it!  I really wanted Shawn Johnson to win simple because Nastia NEVER smiles.  She obviously is extreemly focussed which makes her seem cold.  Her coldness paid off though!

So yesterday, during the 102 degree weather, I let the kids set up our tent since they have been dying to sleep outside.  Finally at 10 p.m. when it droped to 80 degrees, they went to bed, but sleep they did not.  During one of the 50 potty breaks, Payge screamed bloody murder after almost steping on a slug.  Then the little buggers made up some story about a spider in the tent, only to get a role of toilet paper to TP the back yard at 2 a.m.!  They finally went to sleep at 2:30 a.m.-now that’s what I call fun.  Bring back memories?  They want to stay out there tonight, but someone needs to pick up the dog poop first.  Hot weather and dog poo does not mix.  EWWWE!

Happy Summer!

And So It Begins….

Welcome to the 2008 Olympics!  We are so thrilled about this!  I have spent too many late nights watching it, but heck, who doesn’t enjoy the emotional bio-stories of all these amazing athletes?  Every free moment is filled with the family checking what events are being shown.  Beach Volleyball ROCKED and swimming is amazing! We are very anxious for the all time fav- Gymnastics!  Oh, and what about syncronized diving, Badmiten, or the other weird events?  Love them all.  Happy watching!  Feel free to call late for a personal one-on-one Olympic annalisis.

Tuck Tuck

You know it’s been one of those days when you bounce your child during the Tuck Tuck song with your teeth gritting and you change the words: “Tuck tuck, tuck tuck, I love you, Tuck Tuck, tuck tuck, yes I do. You’re my little sweetheart, you’re my little doll, you’re my little pain in the butt, I love you best of all…”
