Oh, how about rainy days all week! It has rained every day this week and we are at Friday – where is the sun? Sheesh.
So my son Tony has a girlfriend…he has dated on and off the past two years at college but for the past month he has been dating a girl (Kindra) from Colorado. She came over this summer and will be attending UMASS Amherst for her sophmore year (Tony is a junior) and then is supposed to return to Colorado. I wonder how that will go over. I’m waiting for a picture…
My little gal Anna Banana lost another tooth yesterday and it’s a good thing as the new tooth was growing in behind it. Of course she had a zillion questions about the tooth fairy and my favorite question was "Mama, is the tooth fairy bigger than my tooth?" :)
Guess I’d better get running. Errands and then I am off to my sons’ all day basketball camp which has invited the parents in the afternoon to watch scrimmages and free throw contests, etc…should be fun and this is their last day of bb camp. My son, J, heads off to drummer camp in a couple weeks which he is pysched about again this year. I can’t imagine the noise level at that camp…
Enjoy your week!
Toodles, Paula

Yes Harry Potter has returned once again in The Order of the Phoenix. Now that the crowds have died down a tad my guys decided last night to go see the show. Their report…not what they were expecting. They read the book and were disappointed in the movie and felt that a lot of details were left out. They felt the same way with the last movie and I have to agree with them as I saw The Goblet of Fire and I didn’t think it was all that great. My favorite HP flick is still the very first one when the Hogwart’s kids were little tikes. Anyway, my guys are waiting for the next HP book to show up as they enjoy the books more than the flicks.
So I am getting my fill of mommyhood again this coming week and carpooling to yet another basketball camp, yahoo! This camp is an all day camp so that will be nice :) Then today I realized that the school season starts here in 45 days. 45 DAYS! Then I realized that we all need a vacation – a real PACK UP THE CAR AND WAVE BYE BYE TO HOME vacation.
Guess I’d better get busy planning. But that’s just half the fun anyway :)
Stay cool this week!

has been grand. This mom can’t complain. Kids are totally enjoying the summer and time off from school and all the craziness of constantly running here and there – moms enjoying some down time as well :)
My two older sons are doing very well. They’re living in Amherst, Massachsusetts this summer and taking a college class and working to save up some extra money for college next year. My two younger boys are attending some sport camps (baseball and basketball) this summer and playing their guitars and drums together and just hanging out with friends. My litle gal is full of questions about kindergarten which she starts this fall. So cute. She also wants to play the piano so guess that’s on the list of things for mommy to set up.
