May Long weekend
Another may long here and almost gone. Friday was rainy and cold so we stayed home, made popcorn and watched movies, I cleaned of course. Saturday it wasn't raining so we pulled the trailer out to the lake. I complained all the way... it didn't stop there, camping with an 18month old and white puppy in the wet sandy mud, not the best time, but totally do-able. (I still complained.) S decided we should stay over night, more complaining by me and screaming by baby as he isn't used to sleeping in a bed and we didn't have a bottle for him. After on hour of screaming and fighting him I sent in the big guy, daddy. Within 5 minutes J was fast asleep, at least for a few hours.
Sunday morning came faster than ever and we packed up and headed home. Sunday was spent napping, buying groceries, laundry and cleaning.
Today we have Jonnie over playing in the sunshine with the kids while Steve and Cam are moving the boat, moving the fastback and now off at the driving range. I am heading downstairs to clean (I am sensing a pattern here) or to scrapbook. Once I download the photos from my dads camera I will upload them so you can see just how dirty a little white dag can get! All in all it was a great family weekend even with my complaining!

May... ahhhh....
So I keep trying to find the time to blog and have honestly started a few times only to be interrupted by life. I am not complaining but rather I am quite glad I have had so much time with my family lately. We have gone from being busy with a million and one things at once to wondering what to do... one extreme to another. I need to find a happy medium in between.
So... believe it or not you can get "strep body"! Poor little E has strep all over his body but not in his throat. It's just the most painful looking rash concentrated on his cheeks and ears. My heart aches for him but he seems rather unaffected by it. He is such a trooper. He had his very first soccer game two weekends ago after our family photo shoot. He spent most the time chewing his nails, enthusiastically, if that counts! He really seemed to enjoy it but wasn't sure what the heck to do. The game was rained out 15minutes into it and so we are hoping he is better for Sunday's game and team pictures.
Peanut started her soccer season today, I am co-coaching her team and had a blast! Bre even scored a goal tonight so daddy has to pay up, TWO DOLLARS he told her! She lost her second front tooth on Monday bringing us to a grad total of 6 missing teeth. In school she had to bring a stuffed animal or doll today to write about. The writing will be reviewed and feedback will be sent home. Of course she brought "bear"... I can't wait to see what she had to say about her. Her class is also talking about family customs, traditions, heritage, and I find myself at a loss of what to have her talk about to her class. Seems I need to do some homework myself!
Baby J... oh what can I say. He has had a few moments lately and by moments I mean temper tantrums and hitting and time in his crib to think about it! LOL!!! He has such determination and I can honestly almost see his mind taking in every little thing he sees. Baby Einstein is such a wonder in his world. As soon as we put it on there is running, chatter and hype as he decides to sit or stand as he gets pulled right into it.
As for S and I we had such a wonderful date last night. The driving range to try out my new clubs he got me for Christmas last year and then we went to see Iron Man2. Both good times! Tonight we even managed to get in a 1hour walk, it was great!
Well it`s only an update but it`s a start...nighty night!
