the weekend

We had a great weekend at the Wear household...not a ton of activity planned but we did enjoy the decent weather. I started off the weekend with a trip to Valley Fair...I had forgotten how much I enjoy roller coasters. I conquered 'Wild Thing' which I was afraid to do back in the 8th grade when we went for our end-of-the-year class trip. 
Graduation weekend around town...lots of parties but unfortunately, we didn't get around to a single one...so sorry to the grads who invited us :(
Kolson has figured out how to pull up on things...and by the end of the weekend he has grown quite proficient at it. The only problem now is figuring out how to get down and part of that is learning that he cannot just 'let go'!! So don't be surprised if you see a few new bruises on the boy :)
With the crazy windy weather today, I am a little sad to see my formerly fully blossomed flowering crab tree slowly losing its blooms. I did manage to take a picture this year which is the first since we have lived here...I would always wait 'one more day' and find that a freak thunderstorm or a brisk wind would wreck God's handiwork.

And as it always seems to be the case, I have a rather large pile of laundry to get crackin' at today so I will be sweating in the laundry room.

Unplanned and overbooked

So I was thinking that I had nothing to do today besides helping my cousin put together some furniture for her new rental house and maybe a couple loads of laundry when I got home...but now I am compiling a list of things to pack for my kids to take with them tomorrow while I go out and play. I was asked by a family member to go to ValleyFair because she was given an extra ticket...the stipulation--one ticket means no kids so I had to find a sitter. A wonderful woman volunteered to take all three kiddos for the day, but the only thing is I have to pack a few bags with things they may need throughout the day. Now as I type this out, I am trying to remember everything my kids need to have packed and everything I need to do before I leave tomorrow morning...oh yeah, and work on the ever-mounting laundry pile. :)

A New Journey

I have officially joined the blogger ranks...we'll see how it goes. I haven't decided what this blog will become so until I find some direction for it, it will be general musings and thoughts.
