Dibs on Top Bunk!

I had several family members that were camping for the weekend, so we took the kids and went to visit. It was a beautiful day out and we got to have a lot of fun with the kids. Since it was their first camping experience it was quite interesting. Ruby was very intrigued by the campers, once we arrived she had to get a tour right away. As my aunt was showing her around she looked in amazement and said, "you even brought your kitchen with you?" It was quite comical. Then she saw the bunk beds and that is where she wanted to be....top bunk. So for the rest of the day she begged me if she could spend the night so she could sleep on the top bunk. When it was time to leave I made sure she was really wanting to spend the night and she assured me she was, so we went home and left her with her new found friends. When she got home the next morning I asked her if she was able to sleep on the top bunk and she told me she had to sleep on the couch bed because Mikaela was crabby! :) You gotta love the things kids will say.

Finally the weekend!

I'm so glad that it is finally the weekend. Even though it is a sad weekend, the last major holiday weekend, signifying summer is over. However despite the sadness I will feel that the summer is gone and we are now going to be starting with shorter days and less light in the evenings, I am happy that we have quite the eventful weekend. Tonight we are going to watch Phil play softball in the National Tournament, tomorrow a wedding, sunday camping and then Monday catch up! It should be a weekend filled with fun time with the kids and ending the summer season with a bang!! I am really looking forward to it.

Please don't Pee your Pants!!

Have you ever had one of those moments where you really have to go to the bathroom, but you are on a mission and think I'll be fine. I just need to run and pick up this one item and then I'll hit the bathroom on the way back. So you are zooming through the store scanning for what you need, and suddenly you see aunt so and so. "Oh Hi, how's it going?" Only you really don't care how its going because by now you really, really have to pee and your calculating where to find the nearest rest room. So finally you wrap up your conversation with "well, I better let you get going" and your back on your way. At this point in time you are walking as briskly as possible without breaking into a run to get to the bathroom. YES, there it is, the big sign that reads restroom, you are almost feeling better already, when wait a minute, what is this......NNNOOOOOOO!!! They have the restrooms closed for cleaning! How can this be? One of the few times you actually need to use the facility and now they want to close it?? Luckily as you approach the janitor steps out of the bathroom and notices the panicked look on your face. He gives you one of those, you look like you really need in here looks and lets you in. GOD BLESS YOU MR. JANITOR!! Not only for keeping our restrooms clean, but mostly for taking a break so somebody doesn't pee their pants!
