Rambling On

Camping season

Only six more weeks to go before the camping season officially opens in our area. That’s really not a long time to wait as we’ve already been waiting seven months. I really do love the camping season as it gives us all the opportunity to get a lot of family time in and also helps us all the get a lot more healthier due to the amount of exercise that we always end of getting. This is one time of year that none of us even have to think about taking a weight loss supplement. We just let mother nature do it’s thing. So, in six more weeks I will be able to start reporting on all our camping adventures. I just wish the season wasn’t so short. If it were up to me, we would be camping twelve months of the year.

Wedding pictures

On October 25 my father in law got married. It was actually a really nice wedding and all went well. The best man was especially handsome (my husband) and the kids behaved themselves as well. Well earlier in the week we got the disk from the photographers of all the pictures that were taken. So now I am able to give you all a little show of how the wedding went. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Edit: I wasn’t able to upload the pics. I’ll try to keep working with it and see what happens. If any one can give me clear concise directions on how to do this, I would dearly appreciate it.

Hubby and his dad

I was able to upload ONE. This one is of my husband and his father. All you need to do is click on the link and you will see the picture. It was too big to load up as a picture on the site.

Blog hopping

I have to tell you that one of my favorite things about blogging is finding and discovering other interesting blogs. The blogs that I’m usually most interested in would be the personal ones, the ones on parenting and some of the money making ones. I mainly blog hop as a way to relax after a trying day with the kids and just like to sit back and read about other peoples lives and their day to day activities.

Well today I was doing some normal blog hopping and I have to say that I was a little disturbed about some things I’d seen. A few sites have pictures and posts done up about Christmas and how they have started getting ready for it. And since I have barely started this really did upset me. It just reminded me that I have only 65 days left till Christmas and how little I have accomplished. Now I’m all for the Christmas season. Really I am. But in October??

Great deal

Yesterday a friend of mine and I were talking down at the bus stop about the different types of mobile devices that are out on the market these days. I was mentioning that I wanted to get a new one, but was unclear as to the best type to get. So she showed me hers and told me if I bought that brand, that I would be able to get a flash memory card at a really cheap price. Well when I heard the word “cheap” I took a closer look at the mobile device that she owns. So my decision was made for me. If the accessories are cheap then I have problem purchasing that brand.

Weekend plans

This weekend the family will be headed out to the annual car show. This particular show focuses on the newer type cars and their after market parts. And with my husband and my son being such avid car fans, this is one event that they both look forward to all year long. It doesn’t really hold much interest for my daughter and I, but at least it’s a day out and it is an event where they whole family can have a little fun.

My youngest son is still talking about the car show that we attended last year. You really should have seen his face light up when he got to see all the newer Corvettes on display. He marvelled at all the new and shiny Corvette rims and wheels that are now available for these types of cars. He was impressed with some of the other cars as well, but I really think he is going to be a corvette man when he grows up. His father is. Too bad we can’t afford a corvette of our own. My husband would really be in his glory then.

Three birthday parties coming up

For the most part our neighborhood is a pretty good place to live. Except for one family, all the families on the street get along really well. And all the kids play together. The only problem is that most of the other kids that live on this street are quite a bit younger than my two. But my two kids play with them and they are actually quite gentle with them.

Well last night I was informed by two different neighbors that their kids birthdays are coming up soon and the kids are going to be invited to their parties. I do think this is a little silly considering that my kids are so much older than these kids, but since they play together on a regular basis I have told the kids they can go. Now all I have to do is go out and purchase some presents. For the two little girls I have decided to purchase them dollhouses and for the little boy I am going to get him some Spiderman toys. Thankfully birthdays only come once a year, otherwise I could become very poor living in this neighborhood.

Next summer vacation plans

If all goes as planned next summer my husband and I will be taking the kids to Orlando Florida for two weeks of fun in the sun. I have already started checking out different sites on Orlando vacations and within the next month or so I am going to start booking accommodations and flights. This is going to be a very expensive vacation, so I am trying to get everything in order at the best possible price. We haven’t said a word to the kids about this yet as we want to make sure everything is up and running before we do. When I have everything set in place then I will inform the kids and then let the screaming begin!

He’s so competitive

My youngest son is so funny.  He just turned 8, but looks to be around the age of 6.  But what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in imagination, energy and yes, even competitiveness.  The other night my brother in law took the kids to the movies.  At this particular movie theater there is an arcade as well.  Well my husband and I were bored so we decided to surprise the kids and show up at the movies as well.  When my son seen his father he challenged him to a game of air hockey.  Well I never laughed so hard as I did that night.  Some of the things that were coming out of his mouth were extremely priceless.

First of all he told his father to “get his game on”.  Then after he scored a couple of times on his father he then started shouting “Your going down old man”.  It’s a good thing his father has a really good sense of humor or this game could have turned ugly.

And who won you asked??  My son of course!

The Memory game

Last night my youngest son asked me to play a game on the computer with him. The game he wanted to play was the memory game. You know that one. You flip over cards and need to remember where the cards are so you can make matches. I knew my memory wasn’t the greatest, but I didn’t realize how bad it was. He kicked my butt four different times until I refused to play with him any more. He had a blast and was killing himself laughing because I couldn’t make any matches. But I’m going to fool him. I’m going to practice these games and the next time he wants to play I plan on kicking some Daniel “butt” of my own. LOL

Weekend plans

So the weekend is finally here and my husband has the entire weekend off.  So that means a camping trip for us.  He arrived home too late this evening to leave tonight but first thing in the morning we will pack up the trailer and head out to the campsite.  The kids are quite excited and already have their bags packed.  Keep your fingers crossed for us that the weather stays sunny and warm like it’s suppose to.  On this camping trip we will be taking the camera so the first of next week I’ll have some pictures for you all.

Have a great weekend everyone and I’ll talk to you all again on Monday.
