Time Flies When You're Having FUN!!!

Summer is in full swing around here!! We got a giant blow up water slide and wading pool so we have been spending tons of time out back... and I've got the sunburn to prove it!! I got the study guide for the ID driver's license test to read whilst I'm out w/ the kids so maybe I could cross that pesky DL off my list!! I've also been getting together a lot w/ Angie and her kids and Melissa and hers, now to do some non playdate related socializing! I keep threatening to have a BBQ but then the heat and summer laziness overwhelms me and we play w/out having others join us. :) The kids and I have gotten in to a good routine, getting out and having lots of fun. We're going to start doing some educational stuff soon... we're going to learn about the Olympics. The history, the games played then and now, and some of the athletes and their countries. I thought we could do meals from different countries and of course do some of the games out back! We love watching the Olympics as a family and are really excited!!

Some list related news from the last few weeks:

I got a haircut and colored my hair and learned some valuable lessons.
1. Don't go to Fantastic Sam's because your reg girl is out of town and then tell them to give you bangs.
2. When highlighting your hair don't put the first one right on your new (short!) bangs and then take a long time getting the rest done.
So, not the haircut of my dreams, but I think if I put some other blonder highlights around my hair this one'll look less obvious. Also, I've been pinning my bangs up and the way my hair grows I can have Drea fix 'em in a month or two. Aside from that, I'm glad to have gotten all the dead ends off, it's much better now... no more tangles and my curls are much nicer.

I've given up on my Helen of Troy audiobook. Today if I get time I'm getting a library card and going to get one "classic" and one "regular" book off my list.

I've been getting up early and going for a walk most days which is good. We bought WiiFit (my very early Bday present) so I've got to try that out, with the water slide video games have taken a back seat..... never thought that would happen around here!! We're also planning a family vacation to San Diego in Sept, should be loads and loads of fun!!
