Austin's First Haircut

Pretty much on a whim Sal and I decided Austin had a mullet and needed a haircut.  Sal grabbed the clippers and went to town.  He was super good and didn't complain one bit.

Kid Funny

While Grandma was visiting we needed some down time, so we flicked on the toonies.

Grandma: "Cheyanne!  Did you know at my house I have a Barbie channel?  Nothing but Barbie!"
[long pause]
Cheyanne: (unenthusiastic) "Oh. Is it in Spanish?"
Grandma: (chuckling) "Um, no I don't think so."
Cheyanne: "Good. Because I don't know what the HECK they are saying!"

Summer Camp

The Campbell Community Center offers a weekly Summer Camp for ages 3-15 at one of the local parks here in Campbell.  Its run by Nathan and Cheyanne's former Tiny Tot teacher, Miss Tiffany.  Its a little pricey, but I felt Nathan especially needed something extra this summer besides Mom, little sister and baby brother.

I put them in for 2 weeks to kind of break up the summer.  Had I known how AWESOME the program was and how in love my kids would be I'd have enrolled them for more weeks.  They are now all full and I completely understand why. 

Cheyanne's Camper Cubs is from 10-1.  This week is "Candy Land" week.  They have old school activities planned like tye-dye, camp sing-a-longs, arts and crafts etc. all with a Candy Land theme.  Every week they have one big activity on Wednesdays.  The last week they were in was a huge bouncy house and this week is a "Happy Bird Show".  A zookeeper comes out with a ton of different birds and does a small show for the kids. 

Nathan's Bull Frogs is from 10-3.  This week is "Gross Week".  Perfect!  They are having Monster theme activities as well as special treats like "dirt and worms" and "muddy buddies".  He's loving it. 

While the big kids are at camp Austin and I are having some much needed one-on-one time.  We've been playing endeless games of "I'm gonna get you" and going to Gymboree.  Its been a treat.  He's such a sweet and happy kid I just can't get enough of him.

Hiatus

hi·a·tus:

aɪˈeɪtəs/ Show Spelled[hahy-ey-tuhs] Show IPA

–noun, plural -tus·es, -tus.

1. a break or interruption in the continuity of a work, series, action, etc.

2. a missing part; gap or lacuna: Scholars attempted to account for the hiatus in the medieval manuscript.

3. any gap or opening.

 

I've been on blog hiatus for a few reasons. First and formost, its summer and I just plain don't have the time.  Nathan doesn't nap anymore so instead of blogging during nap, I now play with him.  The other important reason now is all my free time is going to this program: www.getinsanity.com.  Wish me luck.  The last and least important reason is, I am just too darn tired.

 

Stay tuned for new posts when school starts!
