We Can Go Outside Again Without Melting

It's been HOT!  I'm a summer girl, but even for me this summer has been vicious. We've been in the house most of the time--the kids staring at the tv or playing video games.  It's been nice to get out to the park this weekend.  As I mentioned in my last post, I hadn't taken many pictures of the children this summer because they're tired of my camera pointed at them so often.  Well, I got my camera out and had a time keeping up with them.  For the most part, they still are tired of having their picture taken, especially the older ones.  But, I've got a few for now. 

Back from Summer Break

Summer is over, it's time to get back to school and back to blogging.  I really don't have too many pictures from our summer break.  The children are getting somewhat tired of having a camera in their face, so I haven't pulled it out in a while for family photos.  I'm hoping after a sabbatical from having their picture taken, they'll cooperate for some nice individual and family photos.  I would really like to get some favorite photos up in a wall collage.  Some fun and candid moments, as well as some with a "professional" look.  Of course, mom is the "professional", so they don't take me very seriously. 

One of the highlights of our summer were the baby kittens.  We took in a sweet stray, and later we discovered she was pregnant.  We enjoyed these five little kittens we named (temporarily) Ranger, Minnie, Teddy, Freddy, and Tiara.  Fortunately, we were able to re-home all five kittens and are down to one dog and one cat and planning on keeping it that way. 

Mickey had an exciting summer with summer camp and high adventure camp hiking through Colorado with his boyscout troop.  I still need to get his photos off the camera.  That's my next project.  Then I think I may have him guest blog and share all about it along with some of his really cool photos.  

Have a great day,

Misty
