You know its summer when...

it's 9:45pm and the kids are still out playing on the swing set.


it's 10am and the kids are still asleep.
there is sand in the bathtub.


the chickens can be found in the garden eating bugs.
and the days revolve around swimming lessons!
We are having a great summer! Hope you are too!

2 Little Stitches!



Who knew two little stitches could cause so many different emotions?
-first she was nervous. The doctor had to take a sample of her knee tissue to biopsy. The explaination of what he was going to do was the worst part for her.
-a little excitement-then she learned she could get some attention for this. The doctor told her she had to be careful to not rip out the stitches. She has hobbled ever since. She also claims that she cannot clean her room because she might rip out the stitches.
-disappointment- the doctor told her no swimming for two weeks. That rules out the trip to Roaring Springs next week. This also brought lots of tears from my little red head (we were supposed to go with her friend.) She will also have to sit out the first week of swimming lessons. She thinks we should reschedule the lessons but there isn't another time for them this summer.
So we have two weeks till the stitches come out- Two weeks to tell everyone we meet. - Two weeks to show them off. - Two weeks to use them as an excuse. - Hopefully I survive!
