It's Been Awhile

Wow, it has definately been a while since I had time to think of anything to say... Much less do anything... It was a long summer, filled with lots of activity... Some fun, some not so fun... We had lots of activities going on.  We visited the Tauphus Park Zoo several times... We got to take a weekend in Utah and visit Holgo Zoo as well.  We also spent every Wednesday at the Idaho Falls Public Library, checking out books and the kids participating in the kids theater that they did every week...  This year the kids performed in several of the plays, all ranging from Greek mythology to Shaekspear... They had a blast and learned a few things along the way.   Every Thursday we got to go to the Paramount Movie Theater and watched quite a few of the newer kids movies that had come out.  Gnomeo and Juliet, Mars Needs Moms, Megamind, Despicable Me... It was a great time... We even did a few arts and crafts projects.  One of which was about fossils.  The kids went on a nature walk and picked out a few plants and when we came back, we used plater of paris and pressed the items they found into the plaster to make an impression into it.  It was messy fun. 
The kids have since started back to school and are loving every minute of it.  (And So am I!) It has been very quiet around here with them gone all day long... (its sooooo nice and peaceful) I have been able to get back to working on some projects that had been put on hold for the summer.  If you have children, you understand that you have to keep them occupied and entertained.  I chose to keep them busy by doing a lot of learning type activites.  For the most part we had a good summer.  But with kids, its not all fun and games, and sometimes they get into trouble, and with mine, that was every other day. 
Some times I wonder how some of these moms do it with the crafting, the organizing, the blogging, the fancy meals everyday.  I can barely go to the bathroom by myself, (and that's stretching it...) much less find time to be creative.  By the end of the day I was so brain dead tired I could hardly function much less try to think about crafting or organizing. 

Well hopefully now I can get back on track. We'll see...
