Hey everybody!! Sorry for our absence on last month's linkup! I know all you dedicated readers, ok...reader (Hi Mom!) missed us terribly! Summer has been quite a bear around here. We have been traveling a lot and just existing with 3 kids and a puppy has been a long, exhausting challenge. All that said, I do love them all dearly and do my best to cherish our summer time together and making fun memories...amidst the screaming and fighting. Look for the good, right?? Now that I've gotten that out of the way... Thanks for coming by for our link up! And a special thank you to our other hosts: Allie over at A Gal Named Al , Lisa at Coast to Coast , Tara at Mommy In A Nutshell and Holly over at Pink Lady !! Back to School Prep time! Obviously, I am quite excited that it is time to get THIS party started. I haven't actually had to do much back to school prep to share with you. We did do our usual Target run to get what we needed. My 8th grader needed some
It's time for the Friday Favorites Linkup with Erika , Narci and Andrea ! Favorite #1 SUMMER CAMPS!!!!! Is that bad? And yes, I totally meant for that to be in all caps. The first two weeks of summer, I had my kids home with me, all day, every day. I learned a lot. Like we can't all stand to be in the same room together for more than, say...an hour. The fighting begins at about an hour and 2 minutes. Here is proof: They, or maybe I should say, she broke a lamp because "someone" took her "spot" on the couch. She kicked and knocked it over, and bye bye lamp. A few days later... This happened while we were waiting to get haircuts. Long story. Or, she threw a fit because I asked her to pick something up. Ok. Not so long. So, the point is...summer camps are AMAZING! And good for the whole, keeping my house from being broken and also my sanity intact. Favorite #2 This guy. We celebrated our 16th Annive
