Where is summer?

If you are experiencing summer please tell it to come my way. It rained again today all day. It was also cold. Like jeans and sweatshirt cold. It's June not October. It's normally very very hot, often unbearably hot. It actually rained this whole week. Swim lessons were canceled. To be fair we did get one beautiful and somewhat warm day on Friday. Unfortunately Lindsey woke up feverish and the twins were dealing with a serious cough. So we stayed home again anyway.

This week I went to bmx, it was cold and raining off and on (surprise surprise). It was a perfect night though. My little guy almost made my heart burst. I could tell he was trying so hard, because I was there and he wanted to show me his stuff.

I am going a little nuts. I have to give a shout out to a few things...

*Disney Channel rocks. Kid friendly and mom approved viewing all day and all night. I hate to admit how much we need this with the weather.

*Arthur is also our favorite kids show. I actually enjoy it too. The other day when all the kids were gone I accidentally turned it on (out of habit on tivo).

*My new finished (mostly empty) playroom. I have had to stash my kids down there a few times to play lately.

*Wii and especially wii fit. It's quite entertaining watching my kids run around in place (its a hard fast rule that you play the games properly or no more wii fit).

*Another shout out to netflix. I am officially converted. It's fast. It's cheap. I love catching up on new tv series or old I have missed. I am almost done with Friday night lights. Does anyone have any favs they want to share? I am in need.

*Book 3. Mortal instruments series- City of glass. I highly recommend this series.

My job has certainly increased as summer rolled in. Four loaves of bread disappeared this week. We went through an entire costco box of Graham crackers in just three days. YIKES. Have I mentioned lately how much I hate grocery shopping?

Another favorite discovery Chex mix bars- turtle. Candy bar good- less calories.

On a good note. I did actually catch up all the laundry. All my bathrooms are clean. So staying home and not playing has its benefits I suppose.

Oh and girls night saves my sanity most in the summer. I am desperate for a kid free break more than ever.
