Final family outings are being planned as the summer draws to a close. As the days get shorter, the children are getting bored, parents nerves are frayed and the back-to-school items are stocking the shelves. The days filled with swimming, running and playing are slowly being replaced with indoor activities and homework.
But! Don’t get sad yet! Though summer may be wrapping up for 2008, we’re having a giveaway here at temporarily me!
A giveaway you say?
Oh yes. A giveaway!
What’s up for grabs you wonder?
Well, I’ll tell you!

I’m harvesting maple seedlings in my flower box because I’m too lazy to plant something else - plus they look neat.
I can’t wait for my raspberries to be ready. YUM!

Thanks for all the support regarding yesterday’s post. Mike found a job this morning - which is fabulous - same pay rate as the last place as well and will probably have more hours. BUT! This job requires A LOT more out-of-town work so God only knows how long he’s going to be gone at times which is totally not cool with me.
But he has work, so I can relax.
A little.
Until the first trip that takes him away from home for 6 months.

Carter calls a rake a “dick” and when he pretends to rake something he says: “dick, dick, dick, dick…”
Is it wrong that I laugh every single time?
Ah, kids.
I don’t know what’s worse, that I was giddy with excitement at the sight of this lionfish, while at the Shark Reef in Vegas, because it reminded me of Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo…
Or the fact that I even knew that this was the fish from Deuce Bigalow…
It’s been one of those days.
I was barfed on by my toddler in a packed restaurant today. I believe that needs no further explanation, though might be a funny post once I’ve had more sleep and feel less like a bag of smashed assholes.
