Happenings
How is everyone? My in-laws are visiting for the next couple weeks – they arrived on Saturday. We are having a nice time together. Matt has taken a few days off work to get some projects done around the house and on his car and our camper.
The boys had their last two swim meets Monday and Tuesday. I was sooo proud of them! They really showed a lot of improvement the last couple meets. We now have 3 whole days off from any sports involvement before football starts! What a nice break huh?
We actually won’t be attending the first week of football practice though because we’ll be at family camp (which I have considered not attending for many reasons, but that’s a whole other story)…
We went swimming with friends today and all out enjoyed the HOT weather we are having. We also came home with two new kittens. They are so friendly and happy, but our other kitty seems to have disappeared (after spotting the new ones overtaking her outside house). Hopefully she will be back soon and learn to share her territory with the babies.
Tonight my mother-in-law and I went shopping for a bit. Walgreens has some good back-to-school deals this week (did I just say that… “Back to school”??? Can’t believe it is time to think about that! WOW!
Tomorrow (or I guess today – it is already 1 a.m.) we are heading off to our county fair for some good old fashioned summer fun. If we get there before noon it is only $5 for our entire car load! HMMMM wonder if we can fit all 8 of us into our big ol’ Suburban! (It’s designed to hold 7)… We told the kids no rides since we just did rides at Indiana Beach when my parents were here, but grandpa told them he is paying for rides… so we’ll see… It is supposed to be extra HOT with the heat index possible over 100 so it should be just lovely miserable. My goal is to be outa there by early afternoon and then return in the evening for the demo derby. Gramma volunteered to stay home with Annika, so that sounds like a good plan to me! Hopefully we can meet up and sit with some friends for an extra fun time!
Okay, I guess I really should go to bed. I hope you are having a great week!

P.S. Have any of you heard of YUM Magazine? If so, what do you think of it? I was contacted by them this week, but had never heard of them. I need to go find an issue and check it out! Apparently they have a new Kids YUM Magazine coming out this month as well…
