- We originally canceled for Seven Peaks this week due to relatives coming in from out of state, but they rescheduled as of 10:00am Monday morning so we quickly regrouped and got ourselves together in order to join Amie and her kids at Seven Peaks (Eva was sick so Michelle wasn't planning on going.)
- We stayed for 6 hours and though all I did was sit, I still ended up feeling completely spent.
- Today has been a scramble because I didn't stay home to do the things I needed to do for this week's Cousins Camp with Adam and Amy's girls here. I had big plans to organize the garage to make more room for them to play, grocery shop, Costco shop, go to presidency meeting and prep for the kids' last baseball games (gift for their coach).
- I've managed to do everything except the garage, but am oh so weary and have yet to go to the games. I sure am glad it's over 90 degrees out, nothing's better for a fat girl than unapologetic heat from the late-day sun. (I'm honestly surprised I haven't melted yet.)
- The next 3 nights and 4 days I will be house bound with the 3 extra girls, and I'm actually looking forward to it. It's so fun for the cousins to have an extended sleepover and to play in the water all day. Plus, even though it means more work and messes for me it also means I don't have to go anywhere and will end up tackling some projects at home. (Remember last year's 16 day sleepover?)
Amie and I enjoy using an inter tube for an ottoman.
Some clouds blew in and then out, but I love the umbrellas.
The kids did great sticking with their buddies this week.**Do you enjoy bullet point blogging?
Do you ever expect to melt in the heat?

--Your umbrella pictures are beautiful!
--Hope Eva feels better soon..
--Can't believe I'm the first to comment :)
--Gotta run!
Yes, I like bullet point blogging.
Yes, I do expect to melt in the heat.
And, yes, I would love to do a cousins camp, if we only had cousins living nearby!
Great umbrella shot again. I love that.
You are so great to have all the kids over. You are always going to be known as the fun aunt with the fun house.
Yes...I always feel like I am melting in the heat...I am such a sweater....it is embarassing!!
I like the umbrella pics too. And I should try bullet point blogging.
I would enjoy a cousin camp when the kids are older. Right now our 8cousins are all four and under. The idea of having them all over for a day is a little overwhelming. But later on down the line - I hope I would make the same accomodations for them and let the kids just have a ball.
It was so nice seeing you and Amie at Seven Peaks yesteday!
* I do like bullet point blogging
* Because I'm from Brazil I do like to melt in the heat...It reminds me of home!!!
I would love to do a cousin camp at my house if we had cousins around!!!
I love bullet point blogging -- somehow it seems faster and easier!
I do expect to melt in the heat. Always.
I'm glad the kids did well at 7Peaks -- thanks so much for taking them!
I would be up for cousins' camp, and I'm glad you're looking forward to it! You're the fun aunt par excellence.
I like bullet points. It helps me feel like I don't have to try and tie things together.
If I thought melting were a possibility I would never come in.
I would be up for cousin camp with my side of the family....
Your bullet point blogging is like my misc Friday! I love it. Short and to the point. I welcome the heat if it is DRY. Love the umbrella shot! YAHOO for the littles stinking together with their buddy this week! - I would totally do cousins camp if we lived near cousins. You are the number #1 Aunt!
ps - ...your birthday is coming. your birthday is coming!
I do enjoy bullet-point blogging.
Cousin camp sounds fun, especially the part about not having to go anywhere! I could use a day or two like that.
I sometimes like bullet-point blogging, but not all the time. I think it can be a good way to quickly get out the info you need without feeling obligated to elaborate on anything.
Heat does make me want to melt.
Cousin camp sounds like a blast--I love spending time with extended family!
I am okay with the heat if I can be in my swim suit or bum-around clothes. But if I have to be dressed and in and out of the car, it can jus make me foul. After work, I can think of nothing better than coming home and changing clothes!
love the umbrellas, they would make great summer photo cards.
I would totally be up for a cousins camp. I am trying to get my sis in law to bring her kids up for next week!
I have thouhht I would melt in the heat often as of late. Its not a good feeling, is it?
I like bullet point blogging, it feels very succinct!
I like this style of blogging- direct and to the point!
I am loving your umbrella pictures. I wonder if by the end of the summer they would make a cool grid collage...
And cousins camp- I would be up for it with the age range of kids you have going on over there. That is was summer memories are made of!
