Summer Fun

Today was movie day again. We went to see shrek the third. They called out Allie to come draw the names out of the box for the prizes and unbelievably she drew her own name out for the 1st place prize again.. We must be lucky considering Logan won the 1st prize last time we went. Allie got everything logan did but instead of the operation game she got a shrek duffle bag. Then after the movie we went to the marina park and had a picnic with a couple other ladies and their sons so the kids had a blast, except Allie.. There was nobody there her age or any girls for that matter other then mine so she tried to be grown up and sat with us moms and listened to us talk most of the day. Jessie is more boy then she is girl so she has no problems fitting in and hanging with the boys. She could probably whip any of those boys even if they are 3 years older then her.. Logan she just played by herself up on the playground and was pretty content doing that.. The boys and jessie found a dead fish down in the water and spent the afternoon disecting it and punching holes through it and spreading its guts all over the dock. Doesn't that just sound like pure boy fun??? It was a fun day though. It really helps the day to go by faster when you do activitys like that..

Yesterday we went to the beach with Steve. He had to catch a plane at 3:00 so he promised he would take the kids and go before he left. We got up early and left and was there by 9:00 AM so we got a good 4 hrs in.. The weather was so much better then last time we went. Nice and sunny with no clouds and the water was alot calmer so the kids actually could go out and play in the waves. We even got Logan to finally come out and jump the waves with us as long as we both held her hands and would swing her up over the waves so they didnt splash up on her face. The water was still a bit on the nippy side but once you were in for a few minutes you got used to it. Of course I forgot the camera again.. But we had a great time other then the putrid smell that is out there.. It is so horrible it about makes you gag. It's like dead rotten fish smell in case you were wondering.. Yuck........

Anyways it was fun and it was hard after having such a fun morning to have steve leave again. This traveling all the time is about doing us both in... In the next 3 weeks i will only get to see him 2 1/2 days. Can you believe that. 2 DAYS out of 21.. Something is wrong with this picture....

Hopefully as of right now he only has 1 week of travel in Sept. so I'm just hoping Aug. goes by fast and that no more trips get added into the month.
