Update via Bullets

  • Baby Boy experienced the beach for the first time last week. We finally got off our butts and drove to a small lake about 30 minutes away. He had a blast, as did Crazy and Girly.



  • Crazy isn't doing so hot in the no pottying at night thing. I am resorting to plastic pants because I don't think his sheets are going to last much longer if I keep washing them everyday. Plus....I am soooo sick of doing laundry!
  • Baby Boy is doing great with pottying. He goes all day long in the potty, except for naps and nighttime.
  • Our swamp cooler died on us on Sunday. We have gone 4 days without any air in the house. It is miserable. We bought a couple more fans, and have the small, portable swamp cooler running into the main living room. That helps a bit. The kids have been napping and sleeping at night in there. It's to unbearable in the back of the house. The temp outside now is 105, inside....92. The damn swamp cooler guy is suppose to be here today between 1 and 5. It is now 4:30. Don't ya love it when they can give you that set time so you don't waste your day away waiting for them to get their asses to your house? I sure do. They best hurry up and fix my damn cooler. Sweaty, hot, tired kids make for a very mean, cranky momma.
  • Thanks to Daddy, the boys got themselves some new haircuts. Buzzed it clean off. Easier to keep clean, and cooler too!



  • Oh, and who needs a real slip n slide when you can make your own ghetto slip n slide out of water, a concrete patio floor, and 3 nakey behinds?

  • Ghetto Slip N Slide Recipe:
1. 1 water hose
2. 1 concrete surface
3. Participants who are willing to strip their clothes off and run naked while slipping and falling all over wet
cement.

Take hose and thoroughly wet down concrete surface. Check concrete for slickness. When you are able slide on the surface like you are ice skating, the surface is ready. Leave hose on patio to keep a large amount of water on top of concrete floor. Have willing participants take off their clothes, sit on their behinds and push off the walls, or any solid surface. This makes for hours of fun and laughs.

Warning: Cracks and debri on concrete can make for soar, red butts!

Gotta love the beach (or Shore per the East Coasters). One of the great things about Cali.

Cheers
