Just BE.....Cuz!

The midnight swims became an every night ritual for these cousins!!!!These slides became Justice's favorite part of the park this year. Tommy only had to shove him down kicking and screaming one time and he was fine from then on out!!!!!We opted for season passes as our summer vacation for the kids..... which means... a trip up north, once or twice a week to have some serious fun!!!! The best part about that is, we get to bring a friend on certain days for a seriously discounted rate...... The kids are so excited about that!!!!!The girls love riding the Tornado. Justice just hit 44 inches tall so he can't ride the 48" rides just yet.

I love adding to the mix in our house. For me, the more kids, the easier mine are to handle. I try not to get carried away about the crazy messes it brings... after all, next year they will turn 21 or something like that.... and they will be gone. So when mine ask if every child in the neighborhood can come play, inside.. I am game... even when the moms beg the question, "are you sure?" Damn skippy I am. We still have some rules but for the most part, how much trouble can they really get into playing cars, Wii Sports Resort, Littlest Pets Shops and then outside to swim? And really, they all keep each other busy which lets me cook or clean or catch up with email or whatever. Win Win!!!

With the first few days of summer break down, numerous days of playing with the neighbors and my kids ready for some fun, fun, fun, I called on my sis to give up her two girls, for a few days, to my house. Not really a big sacrifice but I never know if the ex-husband is gonna try to start a war with me for keeping them overnight. Funny thing though.... HE NEVER MESSES with me.... AND I REALLY BEG FOR HIM TO TRY TO CALL THE POLICE ON ME...... HUH!

At any rate, out they came. My kids adore having their cousins over. I get kinda lazy about rules and we strive to get the fun-meter to the top when they are all together!!! So far we only have on missing Nintendo DS and a few broken things but we did survive the week together. And I must say..... it was a blast.

Summer passes to Wet~n~Wild

I am sure we will bring the girls out for one more week before the summer gets away from us. For now, Binky is spending a week with the girls up north and the boys are loving having Mommy and Daddy all to them selves for a bit!!! Win Win again!!!!! I am pretty sure that this summer is going to be the best one ever!!!!
