I love long

weekends. It makes me wish I had enough money to be a stay at home mom. I admire those women who are able to do that. We had such a great time this weekend, spending it with friends and family and the kids - it was busy and it was such a beautiful weekend - couldn't have asked for better weather.

Did not make it down to the fireworks this year. I was debating all weekend to go or not and the thought of sitting there for four plus hours to see them didn't sound too appealing. But then when I watched them on TV I was mad at myself for not going. Brayden was also mad we didn't go. He didn't realize it until they were on TV and he made the comment hey how come we didn't go down this year. Maybe next year. It is just so hard to commit that many hours to wait for a half hour show, but it's worth it, I know.

Tomorrow is back to the ole'grind - of school and work - woo hoo. Sometimes you just feel like there should be more to life than just work and school, you know. But the weather is suppose to be a lot better know, so hopefully the crazy hot weather spells are over. I am ready for fall. Fall and spring are my favorite time of the year - probably fall more so..........

I hope everyone had a great weekend and they were safe in their ventures. I hope many memories and family time was spent together.

Have a great week everyone!

Miss and love you dad.

Much love to all!
