Saucer Summer Tour Part 16

Sunday, June 24^th, 2012

Today we went to Aunt Denise and Uncle Dennis’s house. We just relaxed catching up with Marisa before she headed to the lake with her friends. I can’t believe she will be starting her Senior year of high school in the fall!! The boys were excited to watch their movies in the theatre while the grown ups talked J

Tim, April, Ian and Simon came over for dinner. We had an awesome spiral cut ham and all kinds of summer sides!! The boys were super excited to try the new Capri Suns V. They have a complete serving of vegetables in every pouch!!

Today was a driving day. We are headed to Green Bay and drove 455 miles. We drove through Chicago and Milwaukee along the way. It was 4:30pm when we pulled into the driveway at Aunt Kathy and Uncle Neil’s. We visited a short time and headed straight for Bay Beach!! We were in luck as it was kids’ day and the kids could ride unlimited FREE!! Tickets at Bay Beach are only 25cents and each ride is 1-2 tickets to ride. We started on the ferris wheel. It has to be the FASTEST one I’ve ever been on!! We went all the way around 24 times. After the ferris wheel we did the train ride. Then Alan and Eddie stayed with Mommy and did the super fast spinning swings. Joey and Jack went to do some calmer rides with Aunt Kathy. We did a bunch more rides and ordered pizza from Gallagher’s to be delivered. The boys were up SUPER late!!

Plumbing Plunders

Well this may get a little long winded as our plumbing problems have been on going for a long time. For those of you who don't know we built a brand new house and moved in April 14th, 2006 so it's less than a year old. This past summer I noticed that our toilets and sinks gurgled often and in August I called the builder to send the plumbers out under our 1yr warranty to check it out. They came and basically made me feel like I was hallucinating. They said they cleaned the lines and there wasn't anything suspicious so if they gurgled again to give them a call and they would come back out, but if they were REALLY gurgling the problem would mean tearing into our foundation and we wouldn't want that now would we. No, I didn't want that so when they started gurgling again in the fall I just ignored it as the plumber said it wasn't really an issue. Well in February 2007 it could no longer be ignored as sewage started coming up the drains in our shower and bathtub...

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town

Well, I'm not sure what made me think I could sew. . . I thought sewing a santa suit wouldn't be too difficult if it was part of a "kit". The base playgroup was doing some Christmas pictures of the kids and I thought I could get the suit done in time to have Daniel take an early lunch and show up as Santa. Well this "kit" had very confusing directions. They may as well have been written in Japanese!!! After spending an entire 3hr naptime studying and attempting to cut out the pieces I was beyond frustrated and ready to cry. I ended up using my resources and sending out a very desperate email to EVERY email address I had for people that lived near me (there are some playgroup lists with emails of people I don't even know). Within 30 minutes a friend, Erin, from my MOPS group responded so I called her and she was able to help me figure out how to cut the pieces out correctly!!! Ok so the pieces are cut out, know what do I do!?! Well. yesterday I r...

Kindergarden Slideshow

I just updated pictures on Picasa with a 2009_May album. There are some older pictures in that folder that I just received from Alan's teacher in order to make the Kindergarden slideshow. I LOVE the pictures from field day!! I will try to upload the slideshow here.
