There's no real way to sugar-coat this, but the kids are driving me insane! Sure, I enjoy spending time with them, but all those Summer projects I planned on doing... well between, "Mama, what's for snack?" and "Mama, Eamon's not getting out of my room when I asked him to!" and "Mama, can we watch TV?", not a lot of projects are getting done. So, when
Mel invited us to play at a new park in her area, I jumped at the chance (even though it's more than an hour drive away). Anything to get the kids running around, and hopefully exhausted, so that I can have a little quiet time to myself later. Being able to hang with my best friends, Mel and James, was an added bonus!

My good friend James, who's getting married in October.

Catheroo)

Toothless grin

Eamon's "tough guy" pose. Are you intimidated?
I totally thought of Catheroo with that splashing shot!
And as for Eamon-too cute to be tough in that shot! :)
Looks like fun! Next time you can take them to the hub to play in that fountain - they liked that, too.
too bad we're across the country (and too bad I work during the day) - I think there would be many a beach day to fill our time!
My kids pester me to go swimming all the day long. I SO wish we had a pool. All my problems would be solved! :)
I wish we had a fountain like that. It looks like so much fun! The photos are great!
