Boredom comes to an end!

With Mike being off of work for a week with his illness, everyone has gotten bored staying home. So today I had the day off and decided to try and fill the day with free activities.

Taylor had to work at 3:30 so there is a time restraint. As we are walking out the door, I feel we need to make sure both of our kittens are not in the kitchen with the dogs. Low and behold we can not find one kitten. Everyone looks through the whole house at least three times and the kitten was nowhere to be found. It seemed like forever and I was about to give up thinking that he must have gotten outdoors somehow. The kids are sad and I'm worried to leave with out knowing the cat is OK, as the children will not enjoy the day. As I walk back into the house here sits the kitten looking at me like I'm nuts. What a wasted 20 minutes of my time!!!


So we started the day with a fishing and swimming trip to the Muylle's.







Then for part two of the day we went to Bay City to see the River Roar boats practice. We had never been to the River Roar and did not know anything about it. What an exciting activity. We will definitely be going to the River Roar again in the future.






Now everyone is ready for a nap!!!

You do the Dishes

Our last outing for the school year was a trip to You Do the Dishes.
Most of the staff attended and here are our master pieces.





Amy's is the bowl, Lisa's is the cup, Susie's is the box, Dawn's is the lg. jar, Kristine's is the monkey cup, Gabbie's is the butter dish, and Mine is the mug with feet.

They all turned out great and I think I can speak for everyone, we had a great time!

Country Music Fest here we come. (bummer it's on family bowling day!)

We ended up all going to the Fest together. We checked out the car show and the crafts as a family and then Taylor and Mike left Tiffany and I at the Island and went bowling.
Tiffany and I met up with Steve and Jessica to see the concert. It was a great day for an outside concert, however after 5 hours in direct sunlight we had enough of the concert and left before the end.







We walk about half way home and then had Mike come and pick us up.
When I got home, Mike calls me into the bathroom to show me his arm.




What a mess. He caught poison oak over a week ago and it was not going away. Come to find out that he got a secondary infection and it turned into cellulitis. The poison oak was between his fingers and the secondary infection started to travel from his hand and up his arm. All I know is that he felt horrible and he is driving me nuts with his boredom. He has been unable to work since Monday and he is not to exert himself (which means lay on the couch and do nothing!).

All I can say is Lord help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
