Gees, where does the time go? I keep meaning to get back on a schedule of updating this and then get too busy. This is the first day that I have had free time with the computer. Addyson now loves the PBSKIDS.ORG website and is always on the computer...it may be time to start limiting her computer and tv time. Her new favorite show is Phineaus and Ferb on the Disney Channel and even Tim enjoys that one, but watching it all morning isn't a good thing!
Fourth of July was fun....we started our weekend at Summerfest. We were lucky enough to be walking in with another family who had extra free tickets, so we took that as a good sign that we would have fun. We ended up having a blast! There were a lot of kids' activities during the day and Addyson and Morgan seemed to have a really good time. They got to play on the 
playgrounds, get balloon animals, free M&M ice cream treats, see water animals, play in a bounce house, listen to good music, and eat junk food to their hearts' content! Morgan fell asleep at around 4:30 but Addyson was going strong until that evening when we came home to see the first night of fireworks out of our upstairs' bedroom window!

July 4th took us to Pewaukee for the Independence Day Parade. The kids got a ton of candy and it helped that we were at the front of the parade route. We saw the Milwaukee Bucks mascot, Miss Wisconsin, fire engines, boats, another horse mascot, baton twirlers, karate kids, clowns, gosh, the list goes on! And each and every one of them threw candy! We still have a huge bagful and that was 4 days ago! I feel like it is Halloween here! Anyway, after the parade we went for a cookout at Shane and Lauren's....and the kids ( 7 total) all got to play and have a great time. My sister and I got to indulge in some Summer Shandy, our favorite beer of the summer, for sure, and the guys played the bags game and got stuck with the Miller Lite, haha! We came home for the second night of fireworks here and Addyson stayed up and watched them with Tim and I. We truly have the best spot in town for watching the Okauchee Lake Fireworks....we can sit in our upstairs room and watch out the window.....they are so close that you can smell the smoke that comes off of them and the best part about being in the window is NO Mosquitoes! They were horrible this year! 
So now we are just slowly drifting through summer....well, I guess slightly cruising because it is already July 8th and school starts in less than 2 months. Addyson needs 4K right about now, as we are already hearing "I'm bored" at least once a day. Let's hope we can make without too many meltdowns!
