A Fun Week

We had an awesome week.  We went to Crescent Bar for the last of 3 trips this summer (although we are going for just a weekend with some friends in Septmeber).  We left last Friday (the 12th) and on Saturday we left the girls with grandma and grandpa all day while we went up to Wenatchee to watch my cousin race sprint boats.  It was really fun to watch and I enjoyed seeing him and some other cousins that I hadn't seen in a long time.



My cousin got the fastest time of the day, but still ended up tieing for 1st



On Sunday my dad and stepmom, who had been camping in Wenatchee and gone to the races also, came down to Crescent Bar to spend the evening with us, staying in an RV park just up the road from our condo, then on Monday they headed home while we (Paul and I, the girls and Paul's parents) took a day trip to visit some friends that were staying the week at Sun Lakes.  The girls enjoyed playing with all the other kids and Paul and I got to ride a Sea Doo.  Fun!

The rest of the week was just the typical lay-by-the-pool-and-boat-rides-to-beaches Crescent Bar stuff.  I think I am the tannest I've ever been, between Hawaii in May and 3 trips to sunny Crescent Bar, plus whatever minimal sun we've had at home in-between.

I was really lazy about taking pictures this trip.  I just am not motivated at all because they never turn out good.  The girls never look at the camera, or at least not long enough to snap a picture.

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island.  When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground.  So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time).  The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders.  They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits.  They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

 Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls.  Sophomores.  I can't believe we only have two more of these.  Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off.  Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done.  Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year.  The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation.  Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go.  Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 or 4:30. After their nap
