Day Camp

The boys seem to be loving Day Camp. Each day when they come home they are exhausted, but happy and smiling, too. This is Carter's first year.
This is Taylor's last year to participate. Next year he will probably volunteer as a Den Chief. (Who knows, I may volunteer next year. I'm just sayin'.)
We lingered a little longer today to watch (or hear) the stampede of boys running down the hill for the flag ceremony. I couldn't find my boys in the crowd. Jack, Mason and I searched for them, but we didn't see them. However, after looking at this photo, I think the boy in the bottom left corner in the tan shorts is Carter. It's hard to tell. They all look alike with their tan shirts and hats. Even the leaders start looking alike with their blue shirts and white hats.

The house has been a little more quiet with only four in the house during the day. It's nice. Of course, when one of the four is a little girl, it's really not all that quiet. On days like this, I'm happy to only have one girl.

What cute campers you have.

And "only four". Oh, my. I'm at wits end some days with only two. Please tell me they get easier as they get older.

Girls make more noise than boys?? If I had 5 more Isaiahs, I don't know what I'd do. He's crazy.

Camp looks like a lot of fun. I loved camp so much when I was a kid. They need to have an adult art summer camp!!

There's nothing like making all those kids look identical. And aren't they all wearing tan shorts?

And girls are louder than boys? I had no idea. My boys get really loud a lot.

Only 4?? LOL

And you mean your boys are quiet? For goodness sake! Jack makes as much noise at any given moment as a rock concert.

You crack me up. I'd be a big nervous wreck with four. On Wed's I have one extra and by the end of the day, I'm nuts!

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
