090630 + Change of season

000630 + Was up til 4 last night & started again @ 8... L got the boys ready & then Nicole, Sam & GmaB showed up and they all headed for the zoo. I made it through the day... We loaded the gang up and headed to the ball field. J&I ran to the gas station and got food out of the wall for dinner. Back to the ball field to see Howdy up, first at bat: he got a walk from the 6' pitcher. We ate as the game went on and Gma&paW & Paulette showed up. Doc made an appearance as well. The team played really well, but in the end didn't pull it off. It ended up to be the last game of the season. D was pretty upset. But a stop @ the ice cream stand on the home took care of that. Got showers for the boys & some Jack Daniels for me. Then to the basement to watch the old 'Escape from witch mountain'.

090626 + One of those lights...

090626 + Today was J's last day of Safety Town & D's last of Summer Art Camp. My day in Mexico was fast morning. We cleaned up a couple of issue then to airport. Just missed an earlier flight home... Stuck in DFW, home 1am. One of those lights is mine...

Matt is on his way home :)

Matt called and is on his last leg of his flights home, YEA! We miss him while he is away. The boys have all sorts of things laid out for him on the kitchen table to look at when he gets home.
Jack had his graduation from Safety Town today. They held it at the auditorium at the HS. They had to answer about 10 questions from a police officer before they could get their diplomas. They learned about police and 911, fire safety, strangers, mean dogs, swimming safety, bike safety, crossing streets, gun safety, car seats and they even got to ride a school bus back to their classroom. The best part Jack said was the new bike helmet he received.
After graduation, we went swimming with friends, dropped Dylan off at art camp, rested, went down to Creekside to eat dinner and feed some ducks (saw a snake and a few frogs), then to Joanns for some craft kits that were on sale and to Old Navy to get the new Transformer shirts with a free poster! Home, showers, cookies, bed and I sat on the back porch and played with Lily for a little while. Oh, we also picked all those lovely veggies in the previous post.
Matt will be home in about 1 1/2 hours, I'll try ...to.....stay......up......zzzzzzzzzzz!

WIN #2

Jack learned about gun and fire safety at Safety town today. They have a trailer that is decorated like a house and they simulate a fire and the kids have to climb out the window and down a ladder, get to a safe place and call 911. Jack knew all about the ladder thanks to his dad :) We had 10 kids here this afternoon. My girlfriends and their kids came over and played and slid on the slip and slide. Dylan walked to art camp and continued his work on his clay lion creation. We ended the day with a bang, Dylan won his second tournament game by 1 run! Grant was a trooper today with all the activiites! He is such a good boy, so big. He is constantly asking about all the activities he'll be able to do when he is a "big boy like dylan and jack". Can I play football when I'm big, can I go to art camp, can I read a chapter book, can i go to safety town??????
