TV Stars!!

Michael and Katie were on the local news in Harrisburg, PA. They went to see the City Islanders play Soccer. Their Uncle Billy is the coach.

Soccer Camp

The kiddos are having fun in Pennsylvania. They have been to some place called Chocolate World where they got to see how chocolate is made. Michael was trying to tell me about it, but he was talking so fast I couldn't really understand him. I could only make out "Chocolate World" "Neat" and "Awesome." I'm kind of picturing the Willy Wonka factory with that river of chocolate.

Michael and Katie are attending their Uncle Billy's soccer camp during the day. Here they are in their Lower Dauphin soccer shirts. I believe Lower Dauphin is the county where Uncle Billy coaches.

Michael appears to be in his third trimester.

Sweet, Sweet Freedom

The twins left yesterday for 2 weeks in Pennsylvania and Connecticut to visit their cousins. I don't have any video of my celebratory booty dance, but believe me - I shook it HARD! Yay!

Steve and I went out to a local bar last night for beer and fried food. I'm a cheap date! We are hoping to get in as many date nights as we can while the kiddos are gone. Paying $8/hr for a sitter doubles the cost of any date so we don't go out much.

We had to put down our beloved dog, Norman, on Thursday. Steven, Katie and I are taking it pretty hard. Michael doesn't seem to care much. I think he's just behind Katie, maturity wise, and he doesn't really get the finality of it all. Katie has a new stuffed doggie and she's put Norman's collar on it. I'm hoping this trip will distract her from missing Normie.

Coolest Kiddie Pool EVER!!!!

You know I love entering contests and the kids love helping me enter. Today, we are trying to win the most awesome bounce house/kiddie pool ever to grace a backyard. Look at this thing!!!
It's called the Pirates Bay Inflatable Play Park from Playhouse Bouncers . You can try to win one of your own (or give it to me!!) at a cool blog called J. Leigh Designz. The kids are kissing up and down my arms as I type. I am totally feeling the love right now. I hope I win!!
