Girly Girls and GoGo's

It's finally happened. My daughter has become a girly girl. She's now all about makeup, lip balm, dress up clothes, baby dolls and barbies. I love it! She's also taken to singing songs from her movies now. Earlier she was singing a song from Cinderella 3. I was amazed to hear her singing it. She's got such a pretty little voice.

Connor is also starting to enjoy the more boyish toys. THANKGOD! He's all about his gogo's aka cars and trucks. I don't think we have left a store that he hasn't gotten a little hot wheel car. I don't mind because they are only 97 cents. He's got probably about 5 or 6 of them right now. Of course they are all over the house. He also loves his little fisherprice ones. you know the little chunky ones. :)

At least now I can start getting christmas stuff and not have to worry about them not wanting to play with it when the time comes! :) YAY!

Oh the Drama!

So I was a naughty girl and got kicked off one of my yahoo groups. LOL It's not my fault the group owner is an uptight twit who takes things far to seriously and needs to pull the stick out of her butt. argh. and that's being nice.

I know there are a couple of you from that group who read this blog and if you have issues with me talking about it here or disagree with my views, too bad. It's my blog not yours.

When a group of adult women are getting "yelled" at for cursing in a discussion or being told that we can't express our feelings, then something is wrong. I just hope The Warden doesn't cause the whole group to crumble because of her rules.

With that being said, I guess Connor was a big hit with his cousins this weekend. Josh has put the picture of him and Connor up as his profile pic on myspace. :) That's love. I just hope we can spend more time with them now. Unfortunately, we live 2 hrs or so away. :(

Surviving the tent part 3

Monday ~ our last day there. I had made plans to have everyone come up to our site for french toast in the morning. Well it started raining around 4:30am and everything was soaked. Wayne was supposed to meet Paul and the boys at 6am to go fishing and then skiing. Neither happened because it was raining. This was the only day we didn't go to boaters beach. I made breakfast at the RV and then Wayne and I went up and took the tent down and packed the car. Spent the afternoon playing Baggo for Zach and Josh. it was just a low key day.

Sophia cried when we had to leave. She wanted to stay with Grandma and Grandpa but they wouldn't let her because she always cries that she wants her momma when it comes to bedtime. Oh well. Everyone had fun and we've already started making plans to do it again next year with Paul and Lori. The kids all got along. Zach and Josh just loved Connor and vice versa. Sophia as always was loved by all.

Now I just want to sleep for 2 weeks.

Saturday ~ Woke up early and went out on the boats. I tried skiing but no luck. The one time I was actually up, my skis fell off shortly after getting up. oh well. Then we all(minus kim and carla who went home the night before) went to the beach cafe for breakfast. It was yummy! Another afternoon spent out on the lake. My brother and his fiancee came out and they put their tent up by ours. More time out at boaters beach. This time I came back with a sunburn from hell. I was supposed to just be laying out on a lounger/float and Connor was giving Wayne trouble about being in the water. So I ended up taking his life jacket off him and just holding him in the water. Well stupid me forgot to put sunscreen on my back and I got fried. YUCK!

Went back to the RV and we had hamburgers and hot dogs, corn on the cob, fire roasted onions and home made potato chips for dinner. Yum. Connor loved the corn on the cob and ate 2 small pieces. After dinner, the guys all went fishing and us girls stayed at the RV and talked around the fire. It was nice. Then Don and Annie went up to the tent with us and we sat around the fire for a while. Sophia slept in their tent with them. Uncle Don was mad because she took his blanket. LOL

Sunday ~ Don and Annie took the kids to the RV and left Wayne and I at the tent. It was nice because we were able to just sit and have coffee and talk. We got to the rv and Don and Annie had taken Sophia for breakfast at the cafe. Connor didn't want to go. Mom said his exact words were "i no go, i go go papa" LOL So he stayed with his papa. Mom made donuts out of canned biscuits.

Since I was so burned I couldn't get my swimsuit on, I just wore a tshirt and shorts and we all went to boaters beach. I laid on the pontoon boat in the shade while Connor played on the floor. Sophia was out in the water with Aunt Annie and Aunt Lori. Wayne was tubing. LOL I started feeling kinda seasick from the motion of the boat so Paul took Connor and I back to the dock. I took Connor up to the tent for a nap and made beef stew for dinner. The original plan was to have everyone come up there, but then just took it down to the rv. By the time I got back, Don, Annie, Todd and Shann were gone. It was a quiet evening.
