WENT TO THE FAIR

We went to the county fair last night and took the kiddos. There is nothing quite like it. The kids had fun riding the rides and I enjoyed getting my cotton candy. I do share it with the kids but it's hard to share it! Zach is finally tall enough to ride the "big kid" rides and he loved it. He looked a little concerned at first but wouldn't let us know if he was scared or not. He came bounding of the rides all excited. He was so excited after one of the rides that he tripped a fell as he was coming out of the gate, but got right up and said "I'm all right, I'm all right!" (I think that was for my benefit, you know how mom's are!) The girls rode the kiddie rides. Allie wanted to ride the big kid rides, but of course, she couldn't. Guess she's gonna be a little dare devil. Ashleigh talked me into going into the little fun house with her. Let's put it this way, it is MADE for little kids, not adults! But, I went in anyways and did fine until I got to the very narrow slide at the end. It's a good thing that I am petite, or there would be NO WAY! By the time that we got home ALL were tired and had no problem going to sleep!

GETTING BACK TO "NORMAL

Well, we are getting back to some sort of normalsy. As if anything is ever normal around here! Zach is playing t-ball again this summer. He seems to like it okay, but doesn't like playing T-ball. He missed the "machine pitch" cut off by 2 months. I was told that he will be able to play machine pitch ball in the fall. He is looking forward to getting into that league, since he is the oldest on his team. He has only played 1 game since we got back from vacation. The games are run much like a practice, so they don't count outs. They also don't keep score. They are concentrating on teaching the kids the rules of and how to play baseball. When Zach isn't playing first base, he spends his time pointing to first base after every hit because most of the kids can't seem to remember what they are suppose to do. He has this "oh, come on guys!" look on his face the whole time. We will see how he does the rest of the games. They don't start true league play until age 9 here, so we will see how he does.

Back from vacation

We had a great time on our vacation back in Oklahoma and finally got back to Virginia early Tuesday. It was a really long drive! I didn't think that we were ever going to get home!
Now that we are home, I need to get back into some sort of a routine. There is so much to do, that I don't know where to start. I keep on hoping that if I put it all off long enough that it will all go away! LOL!

HAPPY JULY 9th!

Just updating my blog finally! Blogspot didn't let me log on from the last computer I tried. My kids and I are in Oklahoma visiting with my mom.
I got together with some old friends today for lunch. It was so good to see them again and I hope that it's not long before I can get together with them again!
I have been pretty busy since I have been here and have enjoyed every minute of it. We have visited the Children's Museum in Seminole, OK; the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks, OK; and Incredible Pizza in Tulsa. The kids had a blast. We also have visited with friends and family alot and look forward to the next week or so.
For the 4th, we went to a family cookout and celebration. I think that being with family is 100% better than any "big show" celebration!
Will post again later. Hopefully it won't be so long 'til my next post.
