Every so often I'll have a brief and happy exchange with one of them ("Oh, you have the new king and queen stamps!"), but mostly they're much less excited than I think I'D be if _I_ were a postal clerk.<br /><br />I've signed the kids up for swimming lessons pretty much every day the entire summer. I'll kind of hate myself for it when I'm trudging up the lonnnnnng path to the pool in 95 degree heat---but I'll also be glad, because then we do something summery every day automatically and anything else is a bonus.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-11059940559389622912011-06-01T14:48:51.440-04:002011-06-01T14:48:51.440-04:00N is the queen of letter writing...to your H and t...N is the queen of letter writing...to your H and to her cousins and friends. I would go purchase pretty stamps at the p.o. if the lines weren't endless, so I end up buying the ugly ones from Kroger. I am seriously going to start charging N for the cost of stamps.<br /><br />Your parenting fail is mine too. N and G fight about everything...even about who is meaner. One day when I had completely HAD IT, I locked them both in their shared bedroom and told them to kill each other. They started crying and begged to be let out. They stopped fighting...for about 10 minutes. <br /><br />I was hoping I could great ingenious ideas about things to do from you and Giselle. Don't look to me for good ideas. I got none.CARRIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137602199313584768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-66900378373071407632011-06-01T13:36:10.482-04:002011-06-01T13:36:10.482-04:001.

AC on as of last week due more to allergies than heat but this week, the heat is nuts! Tomorrow should provide some much-needed relief. I am not excited to have turned the AC on before June :(<br /><br />3. We are done with preschool and I am feeling a bit unprepared with how to spend our time. Swim lessons for a couple more weeks, we joined the local Y pool, VBS at the end of this month. Other than that, I got nothin'. Need to get myself in gear ASAP! The boys have been a real handful lately and I need to get a schedule in place to maintain everyone's sanity ;)<br /><br />I am hoping that your ankle heals up and STAYS that way for a while.bluedaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501263462151943825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-32447885652601445972011-06-01T10:42:26.917-04:002011-06-01T10:42:26.917-04:00we're planning on attending vacation bible sch...we're planning on attending vacation bible school, 2 different sets of library events, and begging my hubby to work on my daughter's room to get ready for baby.
