Laundry...

Laundry at the Recreation Center is hit or miss... last night there was a wait so I only did 2 loads for William since he went on a trip today :( Earlier Kalee washed her own laundry and now I am waiting here using Kamile's computer to play random games and blog about laundry while I do SIX loads... a little bit of William's, a little bit of mine.. the rest... the BOYS!!! Kevin may get the dirtiest, but Kendall changes the most! At that age where is dresses to impress LOL! Okay, back to your "has to be better than waiting on laundry" day!

Summertime

Well, it's our now annual trip to Solomons Island for the "summer". Due to the boys being in year round school, we have a relatively short summer... plus this year 3 of the 4 added a week of band camp, making our trip even shorter. BUT we have packed in a lot of summer into our short visit!! They have run of the recreation center (basically a huge playground/camp ground) and we only see them when they want money for games or food to keep going :) We went to Kings Dominion this year on July 3rd, it wasn't as crowded as I thought it might be. Everyone had a blast on the roller coasters and we did learn that we should have started off in the water park area as the boys only got to do one ride... whoops! The fireworks were amazing!!! For the 4th we hung out and did lots of nothing, but it was perfect. The weather was great and once again Solomons put on a great fireworks show. I love my tree. It is a huge tree with tons of shade and I just sit out there and read while a cool breeze blows and the dog loves napping out there also. William is going on a trip for 4 days... it will be the first time I've been here without him... as long as the kids are out and about, I think we will all survive just fine! We may go into DC when he returns as July 13th is our return to NC date. The boys start school on the 15th :) That's okay... 3 week break coming up at the end of Sept and we will be back again!
