105 days with a 4-year-old followed by 70 days with a 5-year-old a year later – what to do? Oh, The Places We’ll Go! Apparently, I’m in a gang. August 20, 2009. We went to Village Park in Kannapolis, and I’m only sorry we hadn’t checked it out sooner.

I *love* Lake Day, I think we all do, and I will be forever grateful to A for making these possible for us this summer. It was sunny and hot, the water was warm, and the kids were, for the most part, in good moods. As she’s mulling over this, S and B decide to swim across the lake to the other side. Now, I truly believe B...So yes,...

The end | Surviving Summer

105 days with a 4-year-old followed by 70 days with a 5-year-old a year later – what to do? Oh, The Places We’ll Go! September 16, 2009. At first I was afraid, I was petrified. 8221;I Will Survive”. I really was, when I started this. And here, on the other end, I can’t imagine why. But it *is* the end of the summer, and since I’m here posting this, I suppose I survived. It did try to get me, though, right at the end…. 30 minutes after we got back in the car and he threw up all over the place. A lot.

Last year, the first word of the first post. Was “rain”. Funny, that – rain again today. But this year, we did not just stay home, I sent out the list last Saturday, and we’ve already got plans for the week! That said, this place is really neat. And shaded. The shaded part is very important, and helpful when it’s raining. The kid...From → Unc...

Leave the dog alone. Do not poke, prod, kick, pet, feed or otherwise interact with her. (this was brought about after I caught him trying to haul her around by the collar).
