Foto Friday: Summer Camp is Over
Summer camp is over for another year. That can only mean one thing... But I don't want to think about that right now. These are the times when I wished I home schooled my kids. That way I could extend summer just a little longer. The way it should be. Hope your summer camps were good ones!...

I will take the straws that are covered in paper, andtake off one end. Then I will blow through the straw sending the wrapper at one of my children. And...
Summertime
Dear Summer, You are going by much too fast. Whatever happened to the "lazy, hazy days of summer'? I remember as a child being bored a lot in the summertime. I am not bored - I don't have time to be bored. Summer, if you could just stretch yourself out to equal the "long, dark, winter" I would be very happy. I would really love to have...
The Ice Cream Truck
Summertime and time for ice cream and the ice cream truck! I grew up on a farm so there weren't a lot of ice cream trucks while I was growing up (ok, so there were none!). But when I visited my cousins in the big city (Omaha) they had ice cream trucks and we would run into the streets to get that special treat! Fast forward a few years and I...
