On Sunday afternoon we went to see the arena production of Walking WIth Dinosaurs.  It was fantastic!  The dinosaurs looked so lifelike.  The lighting and sound was terrific also.  Of course we ended up buying a small stuffed dinosaur, I wasn't going to but my dh said "get her what she wants".  So if we end up with a spoiled brat in a few years it is all his fault!! lol!!

Tomorow is the LAST day for driving the bus for this year!!  I can't wait to park it at the garage.  To celebrate we are going to Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos in the beginning of the next week.  And the weather here has been so lousy with rain almost everyday for two weeks, we need a little pick me up.  It doesn't seem like almost summer at all.

My nephew and his wife are adopting my younger brother's three children!!   A Due to the mental health and addiction issues with my younger brother and his grilfreind, this is best for the children.  It is hard for me not to get angry with them but I am feeling so much better now knowing that the children will be adopted and have permanance in thier lives. 

The oldest is "Ed" he is three and a half.  Then comes "Lily" who is 2 and then is "Roseabud" who is a mere 8 months.   Ed loves dinosaurs.  Lily is a little princess--who is extremely smart, she can count up to 30, knows her abc's and sings all the songs from The Sound of Music movie.  Roseabud is the happiest baby I have ever seen.  If she is fussy there is a definate problem somewhere.  I love to cuddle all threee of them.

My nephew and neice who are 39 and 44, have four other children.  They range in age from 15  down to 12.  My nephew's two spend one week with him then one week with thier mother and back and forth.  His wife's two children don't see thier father at all as he is in another state completely and hasn't been in contact with them at all.

This summer we have rented a house all together at the beach.  So I have been making lists of what we need to take along because if I don't write it down I forget it!!  I also have to get a bed made for the tomatoes and green beans this weekend.  I'm a little behind with my garden this year.

Thanks for your comment. I am excited to try Singapore Math. Can you describe the symptoms of what your daughter is diagnosed with? I have never heard of it before.

Hope you enjoy your time at the beach. Thank you for sharing the wonderful adoption story -- what a blessing to 'keep the kids in the family' but provide, as you said, a place of love and permanence for them. Lucky kids! and a generous nephew you have.

I know what you mean about being behind in the garden! Ugh. I am not planting as much this year, but have yet to really get anything in the ground! We'll see what next week brings!

Sorry, not been around alot lately! Glad the school year ended for you and hope that bus is locked up tight for a few months! :o)

Happy to hear that things are sorted out for your brother's children. It sounds like a great solution for everyone!

Enjoy the beach house and the conference. I hope you have a great summer and get to do lots of FAB stuff with Bun. And I'm more behind on my garden as I haven't even gotten anything planted and am still building the beds! *sigh*
