June Already?

Can you believe it's June already?
It's seems like just this morning I was writing about adventures for May?  :-)

OK OK... so this is only a few days late!  It'll be short.. the backlog is building in both the blogosphere and my house and my head space...

It's been such a delightful spring but I knew it couldn't last forever.  The temperature is rising.  I realize it's hot for some already... but this is all about me, what I think, and what I say goes!

The June calendar is full.  It has been full, erased, full again, revised, filled in some more and then added to again.  It's a busy month!  Hold on... we're going on a ride! The Junicoaster. 

Birthdays alone fill up this month

1st the love of Duncan's life.  (really! he writes her love notes all the time)
8th Sarah and Sadie (haven't got a clue what we're doing yet, better get to work on it) (Sadie... you can help me plan a bash for Whittaker when we come visit later this summer!)
14th John (Apparently you and Patrick will be waving to each other from your window seats on the airplane.  You arrive the day he leaves! )
19th Rhyanna (Come visit again soon!)
25th Memo (Hey... I saw a tony hawk shirt yesterday and thought of you... maybe you don't like that anymore though.... and it would have been too small for you)
27th Tree, Brandon, Robyn (three cousins of my kids not related to each other in anyway other than through my kids whom will likely never meet...)


Events on the horizon!
*3 camping trips
*another trip to Hawaii for Daddy... missing Sarah's birthday two years running now!
*Caleb's Eagle Project completion!!  (more to come on that!)
*Too many to count Dr. appointments and consultations for Whittaker
*Hopefully some crawling in his future.... and maybe a tooth or two.
*Some desperately needed babyproofing that was put off for far too long
*A lot of yard work
*They asked me to pick the next book for book club... apparently they don't know how much stress that puts on me!
*Scout Camps
* $2000.00 Swimming Lessons (I'll explain later)
*Hopefully many a good blogging day

It went international!

It was only a few days before Halloween when Valerie blogged about Audrey and the skittle mishap at her house.... read it by clicking here. (be sure to read the comments--see how important comments can be!)
So.. since Sparky can be credited with organizing a national night of door to door candy soliciting'. I thought it might be good to let him know that it actually went international! It's a hit.. but then anything that involves dressing up and eating candy typically is.

Super Sadie the Feather Lady
The biker with a pirate wife
and Ava the little chick

Just so you know, we'd totally trick or treat with you... I love it when the parents dress up too!

Happy 5th Birthday Sadie!

I thought about having Eden do this blog, but then remembered, that's what I made her do for Ava! Then I thought that Grandma should do it.... but she's experiencing technical difficulties and I didn't want to complicate her life any further... then I thought... maybe Sadie should do it herself... I could send her questions and get her answers to post... but .... I got busy... and it didn't happen.... of course I then realized that if Auntie Favourite is so special... she OUGHT to be the one to do the birthday blogs!.... but... I think I might be Auntie Birthday after this year... (I'll post it here and now... after August..I'll have officially done everyone once... and that's it, unless I'm inspired... and really feel like it... no more of the EVERYONE stuff!!!!)

Sadie... I know so little about you... just little snippets I get from emails and little anecdotes I hear through people who have met and visited you! I'm always told how adorable you are and how mature and clever! I understand that you are a piano playing, dancing queen! I do know from some source.. can't remember where now.. that you LOVE parties! So I hope you had a great one yesterday! (P.S. Eden.. enjoy the parties when they are young! The older they get.. definitely more drama!) Sadie was born on Sarah's birthday... since I had Miles was born on Eden's it was only fitting... This year Sadie is exactly half Sarah's age... I don't think that will ever occur again.. Sadie is 5 and Sarah is 10!

Sooooo.... Happiest of Birthday wishes are being sent your way and I sincerely hope we get to meet some day!

Happy Birthday Sadie!
