Can I just have ten more minutes?

Oh my! Well if you read Sara's and or Jen's blogs you know by now that we've all had extremely long weekends! I am still soooo tired! The party was a huge success. Everyone seemed to have a great time! The kids really enjoyed themselves! I think it was by far the best party we've ever had. I can't take all the credit, God blessed us with deals, great weather and a loving family to help. I am so grateful to Jen and Paul for letting us combine parties with them. It is just so much easier when we can all gather together in one spot to celebrate rather than going from location to location! I think our water games went very very well and I also have some ideas for next year. We're thinking this will become an annual thing! Until Zack and Josh decide that they're too old and cool for parties! It was a blast! We had little water cannons, water balloons, three kiddie pool stations, pick a duckie and magnetic fishing (for the 3's and under crowd!). I am very blessed, I'm so glad that our friends and family were there to have fun with us. My grandparents were able to attend also which was just fantastic. Over all the party was just great. We did find out that we need tons more bug spray next time! LOL! My kids look like they have mumps! By the way as I'm sure you've figured out I made the cake!

The American Redback Mom

Hey guys! It's me again! I'm so happy to be blogging! Not much new here, just a sunburn. :( I took the kids swimming yesterday. I am sunburned in the one place I couldn't reach by myself. The MIDDLE OF MY BACK! Ouch! I was going to ask my sister to get that spot but I got busy with the kids and totally forgot. My loving and wonderful husband applied layers and layers of aloe for me last night. That's what I get for being stupid I guess!

I'm going to post Fun Fact Friday. Yes I do realize that it is currently Tuesday. I wasn't able to post this weekend so you get Fun Fact Friday on Tuesday! Hope you like it!

Remember Me?

Hi I'm back at least for the moment. Right now I'm posting from Spencer's work laptop. Ever since our virus and ad protection expired our computer has operated in EXTREME error. I'll try to post as often as I can. I hope to have everything fixed ASAP! It's totally annoying! I only have access to the laptop in the evenings so bear with me.

Playing With The Pros

I have officially winged my way through another card game! Last night we had my grandparents over for dinner. They live in Bradenton FL. and always visit during hurricane season. So it seems that living in Florida has turned my grandmother into a card shark! She carries a big box full of cards, shufflers, holders score pad etc., which she and grandpa Bill jokingly refer to as "her gamblin' box". When we invited them over for dinner they offered to teach us a game called Canasta. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canasta Now it seems that Canasta is a favorite pastime of both sets of my grandparents (they live 45mins from afore mentioned set) and the other elderly folks in sunny Florida. This a game which I am told is taken very seriously. We were told that talking at the card table in Florida is strictly forbidden! My grandparents aren't that serious about it so we all talked, even across the table to our partners. (Somewhere in sunny FL old folks are cringing!) We had a great time.
