I sit here now when I should be sleeping.
Tomorrow kicks of a new school year for Zman and the Drama Queen meaning I have to get up super early to see them off.
Part of me is glad that school is back in session yet part of me will miss the Summer.
This Summer was by far one of the best we’ve ever had.
We took advantage of it and spent a lot of time together as a family.
From what Zman and Drama Queen have said, they had an absolute blast.
I’m so happy we were able to do so many different things.
We survived another Summer filled with Soccer and Baseball.
They experienced new modes of transportation.
They experienced the sights that Door County has to offer for the first time with their favorite part being this moment
We took an afternoon trip to Oshkosh for some fun shopping at the outlet mall followed by an awesome lunch at an Irish Pub.
(Sadly, no pictures from that day — bad mommy!)
Zman ran a 5K.
There was our vacation to Rhinelander to visit family and check out some sites that Northern Wisconsin has to offer.
Someone played in the mud
Zman and Drama Queen made their First Communion
Zman made a new friend.
There are so many more things that happened throughout the Summer.
This just highlights our favorite parts.
It’s been a great Summer and I’m sad to see it go, but little do they know……..
Fall is going to be a blast too!
This mom still has a few tricks up her sleeve!

It’s Friday!
I should be happy….full of energy….
Nope. I. Just. Want. To .Go.Back.To.Bed.
I wish I had some great story or video to share with you this Friday, but unfortunately I’ve got nothing.
Okay. I might have one exciting little tidbit of information.
I got an email from Stephanie over @ MomTV last night telling me that they are giving me a brand new Vado Video Camera by Creative!
I am soooooo excited!!! Now I will have all kinds of videos to share with you on Friday’s!
Can’t wait for it to arrive!
We have had quite a busy week around the house. The kids had their last day of school on Wednesday. We picked them up @ 11 and went out to lunch with my BFF MooseMama and her 2 kiddos. On the way home we made a quick stop at Dairy Queen, got the kids each a Blizzard. Summer vacation has officially started!
That’s all I have for now.
I wish I had more to share.
Watch for my 1st weigh in with Weight Watchers tomorrow and find out how much weight I lost this past week. (Pray that the scale @ WW is as generous as the one in my bathroom!)
Have a good weekend!
Would somebody please tell me how it can possibly be June 1st?
It can’t be!
How did the last 5 months go by so fast?
My kids only have 7.5 days left of school. A full week this week and full days Monday & Tuesday next week followed by a 1/2 day on Wednesday.
Then they get a week off and off to summer school they go.
I let them take fun things in summer school.
Zman is in Ceramics & Cookies, Cookies, Cookies.
The Drama Queen is in Computer Creations & Amazing Science Experiments.
Should be a fun Summer.
I think we are also going to be enrolling the Drama Queen in Kids Camp @ Comedy City this year. (Grandma & Grandpa have generously offered to cover the cost!) It’s pretty cool! She LOVES Comedy City! It’s a short camp—just 4 days. In that time her and the other ‘campers’ will learn the art and skills of improvisation-things like teamwork, communication, stage presence and confidence. The week ends with the ‘campers’ putting on a show for family and friends.
Other than that, our Summer Schedule kicks of this week! Soccer and baseball are now both 2 nights a week and pretty much @ the same time on the same nights. There are a few games when they are not playing at the same time, but things are going to get hectic starting Tuesday. We have to be @ the soccer fields @ 6:30 for pictures and then the Drama Queen plays @ 7. At another park about a mile down the road, Zman will be playing in his baseball game. This is going to happen every Tuesday & Thursday—baseball until July 14th, Soccer until July 21st!
So—back to this week.
Did I mention the Drama Queen also has 2 field trips this week? One on Tuesday, the other on Friday.
I think that once this week is over and I’m done running errands and grocery shopping on Friday—I’m calling it quits for the weekend. (Except that we are busy on Sunday——Grrrrrrr……….)

Our new busy family schedule that is!
This signifies that Summer is fast approaching.
Starting tonight the Hardworking Hubby & I will begin the summer regimen that is- baseball for Zman and soccer for the Drama Queen. Yup, soccer and baseball both on the same nights of the week at practically the same time in totally different places!
Tell me again why I agreed to this??
I am officially a soccer mom.
Not quite sure how that makes me feel.
And that is all I have to say about that – for now…..
