MIA

SORRY.  I cannot believe I gave up so quickly.  Okay, I didn't give up, but (here come the excuses) I had both kids birthdays/ a class to finish/a husband to entertain while on school break/etc.  So.....here I am.  

So.  I will start off with a recent pic of the cutest kids in the world.....just so you are eager to read what we've been up to.  This photo was taken tonight....with cookies and milk before bed......who doesn't put on a baseball cap before bed?????

In the month of June, Batman turned four years old and Spiderman turned two!  It was a fun, celebrate-all-month kind of ordeal.  I always loved my "birthday week" as a kid so I try to make it special for my boys, too.  They had a combined pool party that was awesome.  I wondered if it was rude that I had them open their presents at home LATER....after NAPS.....but seriously, neither of them could take much more outdoor pool, cake, fun, or chaos!  It was a much more pleasant experience once they were rested.  Thank you so so so much to all of you (you know who you are!) who helped with this event.  It would not have happened without you and would not have been the same if it did!

The summer w/ The Professor home has been great.  We had the said "Birthday Month", then a great 4th of July - which just so happens to be their great grandmother's birthday (80th this year!).  A lot of family traveled to be here and it was so nice to have some fun and make some new memories.  I love love love when the kids get to see any of their cousins!!!!!!! 

Somewhere in there we spent a day at the Museum of Science and History.....The Professor's kind of day, no doubt! 

We also squeezed a Sea World trip in with some old neighbors who also just happen to be some of my favorite people in this world.  We get year passes to Sea World annually and it is so worth it - we ALWAYS have a blast.  We'll be going more often when the weather finally cools off.  Because right now....there is no.way.in.hell I'd walk around Sea World.  Tourists have at it! 

We have went to the beach five bazillion times, of course.  We are a beach family - no other way to put it.  My kids have white hineys right now and I love it!  Both of my kids are able to find shark's teeth on the beach....and I know some adults who have still never found one!  I love love love living so close to the beach. I remember being little and growing up in Maryland...it was a two hour drive to the beach.  I never want to live that 'far' again!  Wait, have you ever found a shark's tooth?  Here they are.....and some other fun beach pics:

The big accomplishments since the last I posted started this blog are:  BATMAN learned to write his name LEGIBLY!  and SPIDERMAN is completely potty trained - sleeping in undies and all! - at 25 months (just like his big bro!).....so....YEAH!  And lastly, Mommy got a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT in her summer class!

Okay, we've had an awesome summer, and this blog is on my "TO DO" list.....I really want to keep up and I want you to WANT me to keep up!  FOLLOW ME!  SUBSCRIBE!  Motivate me to keep this going!
