Thanks Mom!

I use to make my mom buy me all sorts of important collectible things.  Chinese jacks, Chinese jump ropes, Hello Kitty pencils and of stacks and stacks of Mrs Grossman's stickers.  So I guess I totally deserve the Pokemon cards,  Webkinz, and now Silly Bandz.

Don't get me wrong I'm all about piles of bracelets on cute little arms,  but these little buggers are scattered all over my house and floors and many have made it into the belly of my vacuum.

  

Oh wait...

 

Oh, here is something happy,  

it's Sonic Time!!

Schools Out for Summer- Now what?

School let out for summer today.

OK, I knew it was going to happen, it does every year!  

  I knew it was getting close when Luke came home with the contents of his locker in his backpack. 

I love having them home and playing in the yard and building forts and going for adventures.  And to be honest I felt like I might loose it if I had to make one more sack lunch.  

The problem is I work from home, and they are home- while Im working!!!!  Can you see why this causes trouble??  It is hard to work while little boys are playing Potptropica on your computer.

and worse, if they are out of my way and real quiet like, well then I know exactly what is going on....

Keeping kids busy and happy and at least a tiny bit productive during the summer takes a ton of organization.  

As I type this, Devin and her eleven BFFs are in my basement watching the season finale of Glee and just outside my window are a dozen boys.  There is lots and lots of screaming!

So it's really on! 

Summer is here!

Good Luck to all moms!
