Whoo hoo today is Friday! Wishing I had vacation plans for the weekend. Next week is VBS and I am doing the Missions part and I am kinda wishing I wasn't doing the lead this year and was able to relax a little more during VBS week. Carson had a great report from the eye doc. No glasses needed! I have had a lazy day and needed to have been busier!

We just got back from our little road trip to see my mom. It was just me and the boys this time. No Neal, no dogs. I enjoyed visiting with mom. She and I enjoy watching the nightly news together. We went swimming a bunch in our short time of being there. The boys loved it! On our last day and our last swim I let them jump in with their undies only on and they thought that was the funniest thing ever. My mom really pets them a bit when it comes to snack time at night. She arranges fruit, cheese, crackers, and marshmallows on a "duck platter" for the kids each night we stay there. It has become sort of a tradition to have this bedtime snack at their "Dot's". Our next trip to see her is planned for the fourth of July. We always have a big party at her house on that day and then shoot fireworks that night. I mainly remember the extreme heat and humidity of being outside all day and evening. Plus she always makes brownies with little flags stuck in them. Tomorrow Carson has a eye doctor appointment to check out a problem he seems to be having with floaters. Hope all goes well!

Evening ramblings

So my son Carson who is 7 is going to be having his tonsils and adenoids taken out next month. He is a little nervous but looking forward to picking out a special prize for having to go through the ordeal. His younger brother told him that your tonsils are "your fun part and they help you play good." I replied "no they don't ...your dad doesn't have his tonsils to which Roman replied "and daddy doesn't play good." As I am typing this, it has started to rain and storm. The sound of the rain is making me feel pretty chilly. Like a fall night instead of a warm June one. Yes I realize that last sentence wasn't really a sentence. I ran out tonight to find another bargain book for my summer night reading that I've taken up. It was a small selection and it took me forever to settle on one. Any good book suggestions are welcome...I don't really have a certain kind that I like better than all others. I like a little variety but end up digging something with a little romance in it. I want a happy ending in the books I read. I understand that reality isn't always that way but as for my fantasy world I want a happy ending! I do my reading at night after the kids and Neal are usually in bed. Sometimes I read while he's facebooking which has become quite the obsession for the two of us.

Welcome to The Bugaboo Room! I'm Jodi and this is my first attempt at being a blogger...we'll see how it turns out. I have 2 boys...Carson and Roman and right now we are out for the summer and loving it! This is the first summer that I haven't worked in 3 years I think. However, if you know me then you know I can't stay home for even a day without getting restless. So, I signed the boys up for the summer reading program at the public library and joined the local Children's Museum to give us some scheduled activities. I myself have started my summer reading and just finished the best book about an Italian-American family in the early 1920's through the 1970's. I stayed up late one night finishing it and cried and cried. Not that it is a sad book just that I really understood the main character and well I just cried. Besides, I have a little fascination with Italy even though I have never been there before. I also have a fascination for France...and Germany...and China...and well you get the picture. I'm just very interested in other countries as well as our own.
