It's Summer....

It's Summer time and folks are busy going on vacation, or "stay-cation."  It's just a time we kick back a little while the kids are not in school.  And sometimes blogging takes a little break too.  I'm here.  It's been a little hectic around here.  Our kitty got out a week ago.
He got out during the day on the fourth of July.  It would have been fine had it NOT been the fourth!  But the fireworks had to have spooked him.  He's been gone a week now.  Flyers are posted, he's on the internet!  He's a famous kitty.  But alas.  He is still missing.

To distract from the sadness of our missing furry friend, and to beat the first real heat of summer, I got some water toys for the kids.  And it worked out nicely.  Fun was had by all.

It worked great!  Much laughter ensued, and everyone got a nice cool down.
Kristin was not pleased with this one, but I love her hair in this!
Ryan had the most fun I think...not sure....it doesn't matter.  The thing cost me less than $5 at Target.  And was totally worth the smiles, laughter and silliness that it brought.

What are you doing for fun this summer?

Sigh. Someday when I have a yard that isn't rocks, I'll get one of those.

Poor kitty cat. Hope he comes home soon

So sad about your cat, that is hard! You are genius with the water toys and have inspired me. I am going to pull mine out today. Love the photos!

So sorry to hear about your kitty. :(

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
