I've gotta say...

I've gotta say that I just love this neighborhood. Kids roam around all day and play with each other. Everyone knows everyone. Poor kids but great for parents, especially when they get older and are doing stuff by themselves a lot more. People wave to each other, even thought they don't know them. My neighbor to the right is just awesome. Anything I ever need I can go over there. If I am ever sick or not feeling well she will give me tea or offer me pain reliever. In the almost 4 years I've known them, we have become very close, which is nice since we have no family around. I hear about all that is happening in bigger cities and I go outside and it is like we are untouched. I know some people might think it is boring here, but I love the fact that my kids can roam to neighbors houses without a care! James and I have been thinking about moving to various different states because of different jobs he wants or to be closer to family, but then I think about everything that is happening now and it scares me to move from a place that I love, despite the fact that we live so far away from people we have grown up with, to a place that might have some family but we really don't know anymore. Anyway, just feeling thankful.
Here is a photo of a couple of girls that showed up from down the street to play with mine. The one right next to Cassidy is her best friend from pre-school.

I did it...

I did it!

I changed my blog all on my own!! The template is predesigned, yeah I know, but I couldn't change it last time. This time I figured it out!! HIP HIP HURRAY for me!!. Any way how do you like?

Kate is home. I guess she really missed us. She hated the toilets there. All she could talk about is the toilets dont flush and they stink really bad! She took about 50 pictures while she was at camp, as soon as I get the developed I will scan some in so everyone can see. Oh, and she managed to NOT come home with head lice! Another HURRAY! I was so worried about that.
Well, its good to have her home again!

6-26-06

Tomorrow, 6-27, the girls and I are going to pick Kate up from camp! I guess the campers are going to cook everyone dinner! Yeah! Looking forward to that! :D James is at school in Chicago until Friday, so it will just be me and girls for a few more days. He gets back in at about 9:30 or 10 pm on Friday. It will be nice to have him home again!

Girl Scout Camp

Here are some photos of Kate at Camp. We didn't stay long. I hope she is having a good time!

Scout Float

This afternoon Kate and I headed off to decorate the Scout 4th of July float. Here is a photo a friend of mine took. I of course forgot my camera! Kate will be riding in the float and she is really excited! James and I dropped Kate off at Girl Scout Camp today at 6pm. She will stay there until Tuesday evening! The girls and I will go up there on Tuesday because the campers are supposed to be cooking dinner for us! I know she will have a lot of fun as long as she can last the time away from home. A couple of pictures to come!
