Too Cool for SCHOOL

Well Friday was our last day.. my lack of posting can be blamed on field days, awards cermonies, end of year parties and trying to get as much grocery shopping done before EVERYONE is home all the time and i have to take all 3 with me... today it is a VERY thunder stormey day so the kids are inside.. kind of a bummer for the first full day of summer vacation but so far things are going well... we have set up some clear expectations for what is to happen BEFORE the TV gets turned on in ANY FORM (ie; movies, x-box tv etc) we had a little bump in that regard today but it's just the first day so i'm hoping it will all get worked out this week..

as for other stuff, Brad had his interview yesterday and he'll be ordained a Decon this coming sunday.. his Birthday is this thursday.. somehow Brad gets the "brunt" of "i can't believe i have a kid this old" another right of passage for him is that he will get to go to Scout camp next week he is very excited.. so this week we are gathering all the necessary supplies making sure he has enough clean underware and socks (don't worry i know he probably won't be changing them as much as I would like but i have to give him the opportunity right?!)...
the week after that is Cub Scout Day Camp i'm sure i'll reminise more when it's actually here but this will be my 6th year in a row doing cub scout day camp.. yes thats right folks i went the first time BEFORE i had a kid in the program (thats how nuts i am!) and thats over 3 different wards in 3 different states, I really must be thick headed because there MUST be some lesson i'm not learning becuse i've been in the Cub Scout program for SOO LONG>.. i have been telling ANYONE who would listen that this will be my last year as Hunter will be out of Cub's by the time camp rolls around next year but i know as soon as i REALLY press the issue i'll end up going again so that is an issue for next year...

so after that it is kind of a whirlwind.. we have Sam's Wedding then come home for a few days and then head off to my parents then Soccer starts and then School on Aug 26th... now that i'm writing it.. it seems like a short summer but it should be just enough time to get everything in then get back and hopefully not too many "i'm board" days.. if this rain would just quit it they could get some good fishing in...
anyway thats all the ramblings for today...
