C-A-M-P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Austin is at a week long CAMP this week!!! No, not overnight camp, (not that I looked around for one)...it's an arts and crafts camp at a local park here from 9-12 everyday this week. He lOVES it, as do I. It's giving me a taste of what preschool land will be like. Pretty cool. He's just getting so old! He marches off at camp like a big kid and of course will give me no details when he gets home - which gives me a taste of what high school will be like I suppose.

Right now, I am sitting outside in the backyard while the kiddos play, it is absolutely gorgeous out. Hard to believe it's mid-June...it's like 75 out here. Sure wish it would continue!

Ashlyn has stopped napping...ugh...trying to do quiet time everyday has become quite the challenge. Austin doesn't want to go to his room to have quiet time now since Ashlyn doesn't. Ashlyn can't go to her room since that's where Gabriella is sleeping, so I attempt to have her do quiet time downstairs,but Austin doesn't think this is "fair." He really wants Ashlyn to play with him in his room, but they seem to have trouble having "quiet time" in the same room together. Anyway, it's our second week of trying to figure it out, I'm sure I'll come up with something brilliant soon.

Gabriella has become such a big kid. She talks all the time and loves doing whatever her siblings do. She's the happiest kid and STILL sleeps 11 hours straight at night...ahhhhh...sure hope #4 comes out like that!!

As for pregnancy, well, still nauseous, but not too bad. And definitely not like my pal, Callie. Yikes...hang in there Cal - you''ll most likely get over the nauseous part soon!!!

We are trying not to float away here - luckily we haven't really been hit with any of the big storms - they've all pretty much gone around us, although we have had to go to the basement a few times.
We are looking forward to our canoe trip in July. And also looking forward to getting our patio put in if it would ever stop raining and then Shawn is building us a deck. Can't wait to get all that done.
I have had tons of work lately from the textbook company which is why I haven't posted in so long, nap time and nighttime has been work time for me...I'm almost done though and should have it in the mail tomorrow.
Tonight it's out to dinner with the gals!!!!!!!!
I better locate all my children - hope everyone out there is enjoying the summer!
Hope you are having the time of your life!
