Summer Fun....

I can't believe how quickly this summer has flown by.


Princess M starts 1st grade in a week and a half, and I already have $40 worth of school supplies to prove it. We don't even have the individual teacher request list yet, I can hardly wait.
We have covered so much ground and fun in the last month, I hardly know where to start.... I think I'll just show you a few of the highlights and save the in depth anecdotes for future posts.


We spent a very busy week with my folks doing Disneyland, a 4 day Mexican Riviera cruise, and Knott's Berry Farm all while carrying and spreading pinkeye....(right Papa?) We had a blast and definitely were unanimous in our wish that time would stop somewhere around Catalina Island.








The only good thing about vacation coming to an end was the impending arrival one day later of our dear friends the Sides. We had two whole weeks of fun, fellowship, Wii Mario Kart battles, and tons of food (not to mention a fairly obscene amount of drinks and desserts....) It's amazing how you can fit 8 people into a 1250sf townhouse when it's the right people!!!!! Before they even left, it was back to work for C, but we squeezed every possible second of fun out of our two weeks and wouldn't trade a second of it for the world. Boy, it was hard to drop them off at the airport....



We also had a very important birthday celebration for a certain Princess L....

In the last 4 days, C and I have devoted a total of 17 hours to the PTA and I have another meeting this evening, so I guess we know how our "spare" time will be spent from here on out...
