Was that 5lb or 25lb?

I have a deep cleaning schedule made up to cover each room in the house over the next month or so. I take a room on Friday and one on Saturday and give it a good cleaning. Friday was the Master Bath. It really looks great! Today I was working on the Master Bedroom. I was cleaning out the night stand when I heard the kitchen drawer open. I asked Megan what she was doing. She said that she didn't want to tell me. I got worried that she might have a knife even though most of my sharp knives I have up high. So I went in to investigate. That is when I found her and Seth with flour all over! I couldn't believe it! Will this ever be a normal dwelling again? Are my kids way out there? Please tell me that I'm not the only one who has this kind of stuff happen. I didn't realize how much 5lbs was. Bonnie and Clyde.

Ocean Potion

We went out on the jet ski and boat yesterday. We had a blast again. The water was really rough though. I was on the ski for a long time until my legs got sore from being in the same position for so long. I also had Seth riding with me so I was more tense with the way the water was. I was afraid to go too fast in fear that he would fall off. After I got off Greg got on. He was riding a little ways behind the boat and I wasn't paying any attention to him. I finally got up and turned to look at him and he wasn't there. We went back to look for him and found that he was kind of cruising along because Seth had fallen asleep and was laying on his left arm and Greg was trying to drive with his right. We took Seth and were on our way again. I had put sunscreen on both of the kids but not on me. I am Fried! I am using Ocean Potion. It feels cool when I put it on. I have a white band on my arm from where I was wearing the safety bracelet on the jet ski. I woke up sick this morning probably from sun poison. Oh well, live and learn.

From Philly to TN

Ok, so you thought that I had left the Blog world. Well, I was beginning to wonder myself. We left for Philly to see Greg's family a week ago this past Friday. We left around 9:00pm and got there the next morning around 7:30. It usually takes us 10 hours but the kids woke up about 5:30 in the morning so we had to let them get out and stretch. We had a great time. Gram seemed to be doing good as well as everyone else. We spent a lot of time in the pool. The kids were a little apprehensive at first but as you will be able to see by the pics they both got use to it. I have a pic of Seth jumping in but both kids were doing it. I have so many pics I will never get them all posted. You may need some Tums to look at these pics with all of the good Philly food that we ate. Cheese steaks, soft pretzels, hot dogs from the vendors, scrapple, tomato pie, Reta's water ice,(ice cream) Hoagies, Cheese steaks, scrapple, Cheese teaks, and scrapple. We went to Church on Sunday morning and then we had a cookout with Grandbear's family. It was so nice to see everyone. Here Seth is jumping in to Greg.
Megan taking it easy.
Megan with Colleen. Colleen is Greg's first cousin. Megan just loves her.
Seth eating Tomato pie. He loves it. For the ones who don't know it is pizza crust with a pizza sauce and Parmesan cheese on top and served cold. I love it and so does Seth. Thank you Aunt Mary Jo for bring our favorite.
Seth and Uncle Kevin Chillin out.
Seth had his hair done like Uncle Kevin. Everyone loves Uncle Kevin.
I forgot to tell you that we went and rode the Ducks in Philly. It is an amphibious bus that takes you around a lot of the sight of Philly and then takes you on the Delaware river. We all had these quacker's and yes everyone used them. We had a blast. Megan helping Christina learn to walk. Meg is such a good big cousin.
The Greg O'Donnell family in the pool. The hungry hippo that Megan is riding is the one that she was jumping in with and no one was catching her!
Megan and Grandmom. Megan, Seth, and Abby all had floating bathing suits that Grandbear and Grandmom bought for them. It was cool because they were for girl or boy so Seth was dressed like the rest of them. I think he thought he was big stuff.

Seth joining in on the Y M C A song. Some of the people on the bus were doing the motions to the song while it was playing and Seth was getting into it.
We left Philly and went to TN for a few days. The kids went to Dollywood again. We always have a good time there. I didn't take pics because we were just there a couple of months ago and the rides look the same. The kids did get to ride a real train there. We have never rode the train at Dollywood so that was cool. Since the kids like Thomas it was nice to ride a real train. Anyway, we are home and we have to go back to work. Fun!
