Beautiful Day and Weekend

What a beautiful weekend this has been. We were at the cabin and I had more naps this weekend than I have had in the last month of weekends combined. I don't know what was up but if I was still for 5 minutes it wasn't me. I can't believe that I am awake now. I was in bed by 9:30 last night and oh it was so delicious. I admit I am a nap girl. My favorite time to nap is about 10:30 a.m. after being out of bed for 2 hours. Then I can scrap or read when everyone else is napping. I was sad when Campbell stopped napping but I can usually tempt him with a movie. Anyway I digress, I was going to talk about the beautiful weekend (and it's not over). The weather was a perfect 86 and if it was supposed to be humid I didn't feel it lazing by the lake. The nights were perfect for a campfire and s'mores. Yesterday the lake wasn't as crowded as today and I wasn't on a jet ski. Oh darn! I had Jamison on the jet ski this morning and he kept wanting to go faster. I had the Jet ski going 30 and he was laughing like crazy. At one time I thought he was telling me to stop so I slowed down and he looked up at me with a grin and said "faster". This is definitely not the child that should be on the jet ski with me. I like cruising at 20 and looking at the houses. If I get on the crest of someones waves I cringe. Before this summer I have not drove the jet ski in at least 8 years and didn't miss it.

Last night we took a night cruise. We had the radio going to the '80s classics. Jamison was dancing up a storm. Campbell even joined him for a song or two. It's kind of eerie watching those lights come at you on the lake. One green eye and one red floating in the distance and then you hear the sound of their boat. They might be talking and you can catch some of the conversation. Or they might have their radio going on a different channel and when you meet the songs blend like when one station is fading out and the other is coming in. You of course want to stay with the station that is playing that favorite song. Last night the song was "Life is a Highway" Campbell knows it from the movie "Cars" I remember when it came out and Tom Cochrane sang it. How old do I feel that they are remaking songs from my youth? Not as good as the original though. Luckily this was on our radio, and the boat we passed tried to find it on theirs. We tried a new pizza place and I will go back again. It shouldn't surprise me though the place looked like a dive. Why do dives always have the best food? We have one more day of the perfect weekend. As long as I get to scrap this weekend will be a success. Good Night all.

First Day of Kindergarten

I think we did very well for the first day of Kindergarten. He went in with a brave little face and I didn't cry. The not crying could have had something to do with the fact that we were almost late and Brian was along. He would have gave me so much grief. Yeah, we got there at 8:44 you heard me right. We were late. Big surprise there, isn't it? He came out at 2:15 with a bird on his head. It was his birthday hat. It was very cute. And new shorts. We had an accident in music. This was not tramatic for him. It was for Brian, I and his teacher. Everyone loved his pudding cups for his birthday treats. I was going to do popsicles but that would be cruel on the first day.

Day 2 we were a little sad to go back as we didn't have a friend. But he came home and told us all about it. It sounded like he had a great second day. Today was the first day they actually had play time before school and he didn't want to do that. He didn't think he would hear the bell. I can't wait to hear how today went. On Wednesday all the questions were confusing him and mixing him up. I get to start asking questions today. I bet I have more than 20.

Kindergarten Registration

If you are a member or president of your local PTA group please listen. Have a separate Kindergarten registration day. We new to the school do not know what we are doing and all the information you throw at us is way confusing. The parent informational meeting they had in April did not tell me anything important I needed to know. How may forms do I have to fill out? And give me some most people, you know "Most people pay two months for lunches at registration." "Most people pay one semester of milk." "Most people don't have a break down because there is so much information thrown at them." "Ma'am most people don't sit down in line and start babbling like a baby because they can't make a decision." Have some patients for us Newbies all of you that are pros at registration. And to think I wasn't going to have children until I was 99, I would have to have a heart attack then.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my mom's birthday. She is 44 which is pretty cool considering I'm 34! Boy do we have a lot in common. As a mother, I see more and more of her in me. Happy Birthday Mom!
