Slippin' and Slidin'

Sometimes the best part of having kids is to relive some of the highlights from your own childhood. Bill and I get excited when they are interested in some of the same music, movies, toys, and activities we remember relishing. So, when the kids begged us to buy them a slip and slide today, we could hardly say "no". It has been such a scorching summer, we were all thrilled to hook up the hose and try it out! The boys had so much fun and we had such a great time watching them enjoying the wet piece of plastic that brought so many of us joy at that age!




This week has not been as busy as the past few months have been. The break was nice. We are closing in on the last few weeks of their summer break. It will feel so wierd to have both kids doing some school in September. I am not ready to send them back, hopefully we will all be ready in a few more weeks, because ready or not, here school comes.
Bill is looking at some different employment options this week, as well. We figure it won't hurt to know what else is out there. He will either go back to his job, much happier or it will instigate a new chapter for his career. Both outcomes are positive, and so the experiment begins.


We are needing one last vacation before the end of summer break, and are thinking Northern California to explore San Francisco and visit my brother and sister. I figure for interesting photo ops, San Fran is a great place to capture odd and wonderful visions. Plus, we need a fun way to celebrate Bill and my upcoming birthdays. (HINT, HINT!)
