Today is Wednesday.. need I say more??
Over the weekend we all had bouts of sickness. I was teetering on the fence of the flu... I had a low grade fever for a few days and a sore throat, luckily it didn't turn into something worse. After three days it was totally gone and I felt great! The kids got it worse though, Pinky had a fever on Monday. But, like me, they woke up on Tuesday completely fine! Eric got a little feverish on Sunday, but that's it! YAY! We have outsmarted the flu... this time!!!
I've been getting ready for a camping trip we are taking this weekend with some friends. I fully intend to cook gourmet camp food! No hotdogs for us! I'm making fajitas over a fire! And since we haven't camped in... well, ever! I have alot of work to do to get ready. We pretty much have all the stuff we could need. But gathering it up, bringing it over and settling it up will be a challenge, LOL!
I'm super excited. And trying not to think about the day after, where I then have to pack it all up, bring it home and put it away.
That.
Will.
Suck.
Take care blog friends! Until next time when it's not the blahest day of the week! (yeah that's right, I said BLAHEST!!)

Overdue Pictures!
I finally have a photo from Pinkys first day at Pre-K! Here she is in the cubby area! She LOVES her school.
All I have to say is... I can't think of another 4 year old who plays video games to pass the time while she's on the potty!
Here are a few from the Renaissance Faire...
And lastly... LOKI down by the lake.
I've decided I could never leave this house, because where else can I get a house I love, with no neighbors ever home, on a fairly secluded street where the kids can ride bikes all over around because there are hardly ever cars, tucked into the woods... and not just any woods, but a STATE park... tucked into a protected state park, with a giant lake in my backyard, oh and a PINK Cherry tree that blooms every Spring!!... You find me another house like that and I suppose I'll THINK about leaving here!!
Here's a shot standing at the edge of the lake
Here is the view from the woods

Updates
Well, I have several photos I was going to include in this post, but I'm having issues with my USB port right now. SO, they have to remain on the camera for now...
The weather is getting cooler. I'm sorry to see summer go, but at the same time welcome the coolness! It's nice to run around outside with my dog and not have to rinse off in the shower when I come inside.
Elle still loves the second grade and is fast at making friends. She's not to keen on waking up at 7 in the morning though.
Pinky is enjoying Pre-K. She told her teacher (Mrs. Williams) that she loved her! She likes to come home and show me all the art she has done that day.
The girls are REALLY getting into Barbies lately. We've always had a few, although they never were on the forefront of favorite toys. But recently, when they aren't playing outside, the kids are playing barbies!
Eric and I are great. We went to the Renaissance Faire recently. Elle really dressed up! (I have pictures... too bad they are stuck on the camera!)
We like to hang out on our deck after dinner. Now with it being cooler in the evenings, it's about time to light up the fire pit table. Pretty soon it will be full on fireplace time! YAY, I love chilly nights!
I know its early but I bought Halloween costumes already. Every single year, I wait till the LAST minute and the kids have to choose something from the slim pickings that are left in stores the day before Halloween, LOL! Not this year! This year I was prepared and struck while the iron was hot! Elle is being a gothic vampire fairy thing (sort of like last year... last year she looked awesome though!) and Pinky is being a leopard. I LOVE Halloween, even Eric and I are dressing up this year!! :)
Pinky gets her cast off finally this Friday. I cant take much more of it. It was okay the first few days... but after two weeks when we went back to (I thought to take it off) get it Xrayed, I find out she needs it on another two weeks... I about died! It is SO dirty and I can't get it clean, believe me I've tried! She also shoves things into it. On her last Xray you could see she had shoved a marble deep into it! The doctor couldn't get it out. She has since shoved other things into it, that I'm sure will show up on her next Xray (although hopefully it will be coming off this week! 4 weeks is LONG enough!) I hope this is our last stint with casts for a long time!
Elle is having crazy dental work done! She's had a lip bumper now for about a month or so. And a few weeks ago also got an extender on the roof of her mouth. Which I have to extend every night for her with a special tool! The poor thing is a total metal mouth right now. She can hardly eat and really talks funny! In the next few weeks she'll also be adding braces to the mix to complete her robot mouth transformation! By the time it's all said and done though, she'll have perfect strait teeth! But right now it's pretty funny looking... poor kid! Oh, she also recently impaled herself in the chest with metal handlebars (from an old bike without the rubber grips on the end...). She just crashed and the metal end rammed into her chest. it looked pretty nasty. She still has slight bruising at this point.
Peace out.
