So summer is starting to truly emerge in New York. We have been blessed with some beautiful days ... bring on the Heat. Everyone is excited for that last day of school to be upon us and the true parts of summer will be able to take place. When I ask the kids exactly what that means .. they each have a different take on it. Jakob { 9 } believes that he will be able to stay up into the wee hours of the night and finally beat some level on a wii game that makes me incredibly dizzy to even watch.. Sophia { 7 } is truly set on going to a state she has never been. Their dad is taking them to Pennsylvania in August and you might as well have told her that she is moving to Disney World. Her one question is " does it take a WHOLE hour to get to Pennsylvania ?"
Hate to break it to her .. but it takes MANY of those counted hours ... but why ruin the fun ?
Ryan {6} is just happy not to go to school..period. He wants to be a "worker " like his dad.. and dig holes and work for the city driving diggers and doing Big Man stuff ... I wonder if he will be as enthusiastic about working in say 15 years :)
So Grandma Jane just returned from her two week adventure to Key West. Of course presents follow grandma trips. So out came the authentic alligator head and large seashell from the beach.
So as the kids looked the shell over and moved on to ooh and Ah over the "head " the shell decides to relocate. Yup. It just gets up and decides to walk away..... So we are now the unsuspecting parents of a hermit crab .. Hermie or Shelly if you ask a different child the name.
Hermie was picked up on the beach and made his way into a large suitcase. Went airborne for his trip to New York. Changed planes three times and went without notice until just last night... 4 days after he was swiped off the beach. Hermie is one lucky crab. So now in a fish tank with sand...snacks..bark..leaves ...a little water and chicken from dinner he sits and digs .... most likely wondering were the %#@* Florida is.

Moments Today ..
If you are anything like me .. or have a household like mine you would know that no day begins quietly .. smoothly or without incident.
As a mom of three .. Not to mention being a part time parent to my significant other ... you have to be prepared for some excitment in your day.
We were forced into life this morning at 6:12 am by Fisher. He is not one of the two legged children .. but the wildest of the two four legged ones. He was up .. and something had him perplexed.. He was barking .. howling and bouncing his kennel all over my artroom floor.
" are you kidding me " I was thinking .. hair straight up ..heart pounding and all of a sudden realizing I was desperate need of a drink of water. So down the stairs i went to see what this wild animal could be so upset about. I checked the door first .. no one there. I went in to the room and found him frantly barking at .. himself .. yes , I apparently forgot to replace one of my large mirrors when I was moving things around.
I stood there him looking at me then his reflection and back at me .... Yes Fisher .. This is a very embarressing moment for you . He was now wagging his tail all chipper and happy to see me .. Great , I'm up.
I let him outside and turn around to find the three two legged wonders staring at me ..
" So .. mom , What's for Breakfast ?"
