Camping & Update


Okay I had not realized how long it had been since I have posted on here! ugh! I think the kids and I are both ready for school to start but I would love to find a job during the time that E is at preschool but we shall see if that all works out. Anyways...

This last weekend we went to Wallowa Lake with a family church camp (our church only). It was fun and interesting. The kids had a blast. M & S were tired when all was said and done. Of course the kids didn't sleep in until the last day when we needed to pack up before breakfast. :-) Then we actually had to wake them up. The loved sleeping in the tent and "camping". It was a pretty area. There were always deer around too. The lake was cold but the kids had fun. They went out on one of the boats (friends from the church had with them) for the first time and loved it. M almost got N talked into going on the tube but not quite. Of course the kids didn't eat much (food was prepared for us) except for breakfast usually there was something they would eat. Oh and then E got spoiled by all the attention of "older" girls at the camp. She constantly had someone that would push her on the swings (of course I didn't get a picture of this).

House update - we have had about 9 different groups look at the house but so far no bites. We went and looked at houses again last night (hadn't been in like 3 weeks) and found one style that we liked (new) but nothing else that we liked and had what we wanted.

The kids and I have been trying to stay around the house (too save on gas) but I'll tell you sometimes it goes a little stir crazy around here. I wish our kids slept in so atleast part of the morning is gone by the time they wake up! I miss having my desk out too so I could make a mess on it and create but not have to worry about putting it away later. :-)

Nimi has grown. And boy can she jump!!! She is still little but she can jump up on our bed. Now if you have seen how high our bed is you wouldn't even think she could but she can do it from standing still or if she takes a running start you shoudl see her. Now she isn't too happy that we make her get down from there. But she loves it when we ask her into our laps on the couch/chairs. Sometimes she "sneeks" up there. The last two mornigs we have gone for walks to an Elementary school near here to play at the playground and she has loved those walks and always wants to keep up with the kids. And boy can she run! We have got to train her on frisbee! She would be excellent at it!

Okay time to make sure the kids aren't making too much of a wreck in their room. :-)
