Cruising along . . .

Life is just cruising along. We've got our normal summer activites - swimming lessons, baseball, visiting a famous theme park that involves a famous mouse. We actually got to ride the teacups with the Alice in Wonderland characters! DD was beside herself that Alice was in the tea cup right next to ours - along with the Mad Hatter!

The hooligans are mostly behaving. I think because they realize the summer is coming to an end and they need to quit wasting it bugging me. Can someone tell me how it came to be August already? I swear it seems like school just got out. DH said today he was ready for school to be back in session. He takes DS to school and he likes the routine of it. I told him to wash his mouth out with soap! ;-)

DS actually said he's ready for school too. I guess that's good - at least he won't be putting up a fight when that first day rolls around! We received all of our standardized test scores from last school year in the mail today - and we found out what we already knew - we have a smarty for a son. I didn't need a standardized test to tell me that. It can be my proof to everybody else that I'm not just a bragging Mom - he really is smart! heehee

DD is smart too - but she isn't having to take standardized tests yet, so for now everyone will just have to continue to take my word for it!

I hope I'm not one of those obnoxious Moms who goes around bragging about every little thing her kids do. You know THOSE Moms - the not bragging in an "I'm proud" way but a bragging in "my kids are better than yours" way. Because really my kids are very smart (they get it from their Daddy - not that I'm stupid or anything either!) - but I certainly don't think they're better than somebody else's kids. Hey they've got their issues. DD never will get dressed in the morning - or any other time a day - nobody would believe me if they knew how many times a day I threatened that child to take her naked someplace!! And DS has a mouth on him that never quits!!

But I still like them pretty well. And really they are very smart!! :-)
