We've been having scattered storms for a few days. I find that with dh home, we'll get things done, but then...he starts to get bored, and I hate that :)

Checking In!!! :) Back from vacation !!! :D Doing Well....

Good Times, Good Conversations
 

We went down to the South Shore of MA to visit my dad, stepmom and sister. Only planned to stay a couple of days, but ended up staying for a week. :D Good times, very therapeutic and healing for myself. {spent a decade of no-contact with dad, so we've been building up to this :)}

My boys enjoyed swimming in the pool!!! A first time swimming for ALL 3 !!! You should have seen my 2.5 yr old! He took like a fish to water, I was impressed! My toddler loved it too. And so did my 5yr old, but with waiting as long with him, there's some fear factor for him, not much, but compared to his brothers...we could tell!

We went school shopping at one of the outlets....quite some deals, and quite some clothes! Ate lunch with a bunch of geese at the park after shopping.

Went on a 'date' with my hubby...first time in 6 months, lol. We went down to the outskirts of the Cape{Cape Cod} and I had this incredible stuffed scrod/scallop dinner! YUM...Dh had fried clams, of course :p Then we took a ride by the beach...DH has NEVER been to the Cape before, which is funny because he's lived in MA his entire life. Then we played mini-golf....laughed and giggled like we were on a first date or something. Then had ice-cream. Black Raspberry-chocolate chip{white & chocolate} frozen yogurt.....you should have seen me buldging out of my britches after this evening of food..heheheh...lol

We took the boys to the beach. The youngest 2 have never been to the beach and they got to 'swim' in the ocean. ;)

Then my step-sister came for a visit! We haven't seen each other since 1990! Just like old times....we always hit it off! She, DH, my 5yr old and myself went to a Seafood Festival in Rhode Island! What FUN! My son got to ride some rides, we ate some good clams and scallops, and enjoyed the entertainment.

Last night there was a rainstorm and a rainbow appeared in the backyard! It was pretty cool!

We are still ambivalent about the whole Manny fiasco....time will tell, lol!

I'm ready to sleep in my own bed!!!

Hope all is well in NT! :D :hug::grouphug:
