I got these one at the Zoo. Of course not one of them all looking at the camera and smiling.

Didnt really have good ones from the recital since I was running around like crazy and you can only take pictures at the rehersal.

The one week when the temps hit 90 and we just had the boys they enjoyed a water battle with Dad

BACK TO THE GRIND

Yes Back to work..well yesterday but today I am off again. Of course I got nothting done I hoped to do. On sat(my last day) I started scrubbing the two bedrooms upstairs..they actually look like bedroom now. Lets see how long they will stay that way. We managed to make it tot he zoo. I will have to upload some pix later. Vacation Bible school started yesterday and also Kevin made his confirmation too! Of course I have no pix of that..forgot my camera.

Last night at work I finally met another family with more than 3 kids. I saw her come in and of course started counting 1..2..3..4...5...6...so when she was checking out I asked her the dreaded question"are they all yours" Yes she replies. I told her about me having 5 and would be open to more and she says I have 2 more at home. Her oldest was 15 and youngest 3. How awesome!

Well off to clean up..another therapist comming for Ryan.."sigh"

is Vacation over yet?

The weather this week is going to be horrible and the kids want to go here and go there and with bad weather and $$ being a big issue here it is going to be more of stay home and relax. We did play Apples to Apples the last two night and we had a blast but of course I still have three more to keep busy since they can not play. We are hoping for a day to the zoo one day and a trip to Station Square(downtown Pittsbugh) to ride the incline and maybe play in the water fountain s that dance to music. The kids always get a kick out of that.

I also signed my two oldest up for their summer music lessons and of course one class is at 8:40AM! It will run for 3 weeks and I have to entertain the little ones in the van my 8 year olds class goes only for 40 minutes and it stupid to ride home or anywhere for that fact. My 13 year old goes from 11-11:40 then 12:40 to 1:30. I hope 3 weeks go real fast.

I am on Vacation!!!!!!!!!

So 1 week of no work and I even think I got my computer working alot better so I am going to computerville this week..yup this will be my vacation.... I hear kids screaming in the background but I tell myself mom is a world away from them right now and I will be back in a week...ok now reality sets in...

So school is out and the kids are bouncing already. Hopefully this week we will get alot of fun stuff in for them. We went to the local pool the other day..I took the 5 by myself and besides Ryan they were all well behaved.

Speaking of Ryan..the update on him...well he did get diagnosed with Aprixia which is a speech disorder that needs alot of therapy. So as of now I still have therapists coming to my house three times aweek and we are starting a wrap-around service that someone will come to my house for 2 days at 3 hours each day."sigh" They are going to work more on his behavior because of his delay in speech. I feel so bad for the little guy who just cant tell us what he wants or needs. I still cant even take him out to many public places because he will just throw a fit and he is still very active/hyper.

Well like I said this will be my vacation spot so I will talk to you real soon!

Have a blessed day!

Debbie
