The summer if literally flying by and I have not been much of a writer. Unless you consider posting pictures of stuff I wish I could buy for myself…which I don’t.
And this is largely due to the fact that I am NEVER alone. Seriously. We even have a dog now, and she follows me from room to room. Which is unfortunate for her since I’m incredibly inefficient and run upstairs to get something roughly every three minutes. Poor Alice.
But the dog doesn’t really require THAT much of my attention. I will give full credit for that to the twins. With Oliver at sensory motor camp, they are my constant companions and unlike my introverted first born, they like to chat. We don’t have many quiet moments.
But the conversations are priceless and I wish I could record all of them. Of course I don’t, and just end up posting the odd anecdote on Facebook instead. I really should save them for here though since the people who would appreciate them most (my husband, Mom and Dad, etc.) aren’t even on Facebook.
So here is one from the car this morning.
Eleanor: [giggling}
George: Mom! Eleanor is teasing me!
Me: Stop teasing…
Eleanor: I’m NOT!
George: She’s LAUGHING at me!
Me: Well then stop laughing at him Eleanor. It’s mean…It’s mean spirited.
George: Yeah! And it’s NOT the spirit of Christmas.
I love that. And apparently I can now start the “Santa’s watching” threats – which is great news.
So while I may not have much “me” time this summer, I do love spending time with these jokers!
He’s not so bad either.
This one is a huge pain in the ass…
…but she fits right in.
Summer isn’t so bad.
Now if it would just stop threatening to thunderstorm every time I plan to take the kids to the pool!

I’m not alone much either this summer. Hence, the not being around. I love those backseat conversations and the hilarious observations they make. As much as my kids can make me crazy, there is rarely a dull moment and I laugh a lot.
I hope you’re having a great summer, my friend.

My girls and I just spent 3 weeks together in New York. If only you could see my scrambling to find camps for next week, or the week after… or the week after. :)

We have camp this week and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Sigh, okay, I miss them a little. Your babies are beautiful.
