Will it EVER come????

Just had to get out some fun summer pics of the kids and day dream a little bit about swimming in the pool. I can almost feel the sun on my face...smell the brats grilling...hear the kid's laughter...I can't wait.

Isaiah is at the middle school Squeaky Clean Retreat for church. It's a purity retreat presented in a really non-threatening way for the kids. It's just a one-nighter at Country Springs...so he should be extra tired tomorrow. Luckily there's no basketball until Sunday...lol. Jordyn went to her dad's after work so it's just the four of us hanging out tonight. I had to get some shopping done for my friend's baby shower tomorrow. I'm making veggie pizza and putting together the birthday card thingy* I do and also an "advice" book for her. It should be a fun afternoon.

*the birthday card thingy is this: purchase blank birthday cards. one for every person at the shower. using sticky notes, number the cards 1-whatever. then give each person one card randomly. if there is not a lot of people at the shower, give each person two. they are to write a birthday card or note to the baby to be. the number on the sticky is the age that they make the card for. if your sticky note said 15, then you would make a birthday card for the baby's 15th birthday. what is really special is if you have older friends and relatives there...to make sure that they get the higher numbers. for example---at my sister's shower, we made sure that Grandma Calderon got number 30. so for Keyonna's 30th birthday she will have a birthday card from her Great Grandma Calderon. have each person seal their card, write, "happy ____th birthday" on the envelope and then give them to the mommy in a pretty box for safe keeping.

alright---i'm off to label the sticky notes and then I have go and give grandma her shot. have a nice night!!
