We made it back safe, I still have all 4 of my kids, none got lost or even hurt! Dang fire with Jack around made me so nervous I don't think I sat down for more then 30 seconds! We swam, we biked, we walked around, we played at the playground a lot, it was an all and all great weekend! Jack was tough, but I expected that going into this! I will admit to being an awful mom this weekend, my camera came out once, and that was when Jack and Ella were finger painting and Cam was sitting around camp, no clue where my oldest was lol! So I only have a couple of pics!
I realized this Saturday sitting around the campfire, so I planned on getting the camera out on Sunday, taking a bike ride with the kids and such. Well I woke up at 2:30 am in soooo much pain in my stomach, I was sweating! Nice, ended up with diarrea and threw up a few times to boot. I was up all night. I was a mess all day sunday. Jamie took good care of me, he really came through! I'm finally starting to eat again today, but still have that achey feeling in my tummy, hope it fades soon.
So here are a couple of Jack finger painting, he did a great job! And one of Cam and Ella to!

Tomorrow we are going camping! All 6 of us! Should be an interesting weekend! I'll have to update when I get back! One minor problem, Jamie was heading to our house with the camper and the brakes went out on the truck! So that had to be fixed, and the plans of getting most stuff packed tonight went out the window!

And yesterday the little blue pool went up! The kids were in it with me setting it up, I was trying to smooth out the bottom with my feet, they were running and falling down! Today Ella couldn't wait to get in it! She asked all morn, but I was trying to wait till it warmed up and the sun was over the pool. That didn't work, impatient little kids! Ella ran all around the pool having a great time! Jack was hesitant at first, I tried to show him he could touch the bottom but he wasn't going for it. So he got out and ran around the yard. Then he wanted back in and held onto the sides, never letting go! After lunch and naps I took the kids back in, and I went in with them. Jack started getting more daring... Walking around the pool holding onto the sides. Then walking and just holding my hand, and before you knew it, he was walking all around the pool! He did fall in once, and once again forgot he could touch, but I was arm's length away and grabbed him and stood him up! I pretended he did it on purpose, and told him yeeeeeah! Jack you went under water! He did good, I think there is a little fish around here! Sorry no pics, but I was in the water, please forgive me! That and I didn't trust Jack enough to be more then an arm's length away!

Man that Jack! He goes through more clothes a day then, well then Aubrey! I used to pick on Kris for how many times she had to change her clothes, but now my lil man is worse! Take today for instance. Lunch was messy but he got to stay in those clothes. We made fruit smoothies and took them outside, cause I know those are messy! He kept dripping fruit smoothie down the front of him, all over his hands, face and legs. I got a washcloth and cleaned him up as best I could. Off to the sandbox. Guess he was still a bit sticky as he came out looking like this...


Sand stuck everywhere to him, his arms, legs, and of course FACE! Then he decided to play bubbles. Well he is sitting and the bubbles just drip all over his lap and legs...


So I get out the hose to hose that boy down! He loved it, I wish I could have hosed him down and video taped at the same time, he was laughing so hard! And I would squirt him, he would squeal, giggle and run, then come back for more!!!
So on goes change 2 of clothes, which lasted till just before dinner. We put up the pool today and Jack was out there running in it, and slipping, he was SOAKED! But oh sooo happy! So that made change 3 of clothes! Then dinner, some shopping, more playing outside, and into the bath! On with pj's, which makes for 4 changes today!

Just playing around outside today, here are my nutty kids! Ella kept doing tricks on the swing and asking me "isn't that awesome? I can only do it for a minute though." What a goof!!!
And Jack just loves climbing the slide! Such a little monkey!

Jack was so excited to go feed the chickens, and I must say he did a great job at it!!

We dropped Taylor off at camp yesterday, and while it didn't go smoothly, I'm sure hoping she has an awesome time! Cam is also going to camp but staying with Gramma and Aunt Kristie while going there. Busy kids!

Some new layouts by me! Sorry it has been so long!

I came into the room to find this... these 3, all lined up, playing Mario Kart! I had to run for my camera! IT was just the sweetest thing!!!




I'm not tired...
Yeah Ella tells me this all the time, then it is quiet and this is how I find her. I just wish she would go back to the naps!

Jack got frip frops today!

He thinks they are so cool! He ran around outside in them and rode his bike all over, one cool guy!!!

The naughty chair...
Where Jack spends most of his days... Ok, not really, but at least 3 times a day he can be found in the naughty chair. Sending him to his room just wasn't cutting it and my pediatrician recommended strapping him in the high chair. Well being we don't have a high chair, but his booster seat has straps, that is where he goes, and into the corner and then I set the kitchen timer so I don't forget about him. He is always ready to apologize when he comes out, and usually just sits in there telling me mommmmma, mommmma I'm sorry, mommmma??? I ignore him lol! It is hard, but has to be done! So here he is, in his naughty chair!

It's customer appreciation week at 7-11!!!

Apparently Jamie is very appreciated there! So appreciated in fact that he got a call last night that he had won a prize at 7-11 and he needed to call! I was excited, I'm thinking maybe a car, or a boat, or a large cash sum! But he calls to find out it is a hat and some free Slurpee coupons! This is what he came home with today! We call it the ugly hat.

I scream you scream, Jack screams for ice cream!! He even got his own cone tonight as it was bath night anyways!!!
