I'm A Rambling Man... or... woman... whatever.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!! I hope all the USUSMers had super Memorial Days. My husband, son and I spent the afternoon at my in-laws, and they also had a couple who fostered me when I was itty bitty over. We had burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, chips, watermelon, lemon cake, and whoopie pies. My father in law also brought out a toy they had picked up for my kids. It's like a slingshot propeller? You pull back the propeller part, while holding on to this stick that has a rubber band attached. Pull it as far back as you can and then let go of the propeller. They go high AND far. Our yard is too small to use it, but we have three playgrounds near by. My daughter spent the weekend with my parents. She's been looking forward to it for awhile. But I'm excited for her to come home tonight. Her ninth birthday is coming up. I'm going to do a tie dye themed party for her, and she's only getting two gifts from me this year, maybe three if I can swing it. She'll be getting a 600 piece lego brick set. Not the kind that tell you "YOU MUST MAKE THIS!" but just, random bricks, so she'll be using her imagination. I'm also going to get her a cheap tablet that we can use for homeschooling projects, and then if I can swing it, I'll pick up some books at Goodwill. I can't believe she is going to be nine. It kills me. I remember the first night home after we left the hospital. Just staring at her, all night. She was and still is amazing. I'm still not healing from my messed up hip. I'm getting really sick of crutches and not being able to walk in stores. I'm only 31 (I think), it shouldn't be taking this long to heal. What are your plans for this summer? I live close to Massachusetts and they have something called Free Fun Fridays. Museaums, parks, etc, are free of charge, so another homeschooling mom and I plan on taking our 4 kids to Mass every week. There is one for the Eric Carle museum (I am a HUGE fan), Plimouth Plantation, The Discovery Museums... I'm a little excited. There is also free bowling, up to two games a day, all summer long, just a couple miles from my house, festivals, etc. So, I think we'll be busy. Alright. I think I've rambled long enough. Don't make me be the only rambler. Ramble along with me!!!
