by the number of blog updates, you can definitely tell it's summer out there. i hope ya'll are having as much fun as we are. i wish i would have taken a picture of the impromptu water balloon fight that erupted on our front lawn on friday night after the pee wee baseball game, soaking friends, neighbors and especially the husband.

i also wish i would have taken a photo of the j boys and their favorite girl buddies riding bikes in swimsuits at 10 pm, or the beautiful sunset we all stayed home to watch last night (i cancelled the babysitter in favor of a bike ride and beer on the front steps). at any rate, i know that it will go fast. we're just trying to soak in every last drop.

i am getting ready to cut out 16 clown fish for vacation bible school tonite. i'm not sure how i ended up as a teacher in charge of 2nd thru 4th grade. at one point, i was making snacks in the kitchen...someone must have heard about my cooking abilities :) at any rate, i know rani raves about this position, so i'm hoping i can do the kids justice.

i am also getting ready to go watch the muckdogs play in about an hour... i was right about the jerseys. he he.

on a very final note...thanks for the prayers for sidney dog. you're not going to believe this one. they said she had a 95% chance at bone cancer, right? probably set to kick it in a few months. well, the vet called in disbelief on friday night and said they looked and looked and can find no trace of cancer in her soft tissue or her bones. he said she's got degenerative joint disease, and that amputation will stop the hurting and she'll be good as new again. sid will most likely loose her leg this week, but we are happy. our old friend may just be hunting pheasants again.

happy week :)
