Well it's been feeling more like August here in Michigan with it's high humidity. We didn't do a darn thing today because it was so humid. Even now at 8:24 p.m. it's humid. Times like this I really wish we had a yard for a pool LOL.

The only thing I really did today was run to Staples to make copies of the MOMS Club® Newsletter, Calendar, and Agenda. I really don't like those machines ugh. I think I might have to find a better way of going about it or something.

Other than that though it was just too hot to do much. I hope everyone else had a cooler day today. I have to say though even with the humidity I still don't wish for Michigan winters LOL.

Todays Adventures

Man it was a humid day today. I again woke up at six a.m. and enjoyed some quiet time and also did my exercises. The boys woke about just after seven a.m. So after they ate breakfast, brushed their teeth and got dressed we did some school work. We didn't do a lot just because Fridays are our more laid back days.

Then we all went outside and pretty much had a nature walk around the house LOL. We found one spider (I really don't like them but through my fears the boys have become afraid of them so I am trying to conquer my fears as well as theirs LOL) that was huge (ugh) and it had made a web in between a tree (one that splits in the middle). We found a big ant (I know I am so mean :( but it was for education right? LOL) and threw it on the web (no I did not touch the web LOL) and we watched it fight it and then wrap it up. The boys were fascinated with it. Which is even better than the last couple of years where they would scream bloody murder and run the opposite direction (can you really blame them though ugh spiders LOL). We also found a smaller spider and it's cool web and then we found a katydid skin and examined it.

Later I took over some zucchini bread to my neighbors house and we talked for a while. She and I went in her backyard where later the boys joined us (she is helping us learn some Sign Language too.) and they jumped on her trampoline. My neighbor and I ended up finding a silk worm and I showed it to the boys. You can tell just how different my boys are from each other from their reactions LOL. Chord was like cool but not too impressed, where as Jarod was big eyed and said cool can I hold it? So I let him hold it and watched it. (He would have never done this a year or two ago so time has helped LOL.) Chord isn't really afraid of bugs any more but he doesn't like them crawling on him either LOL. Just shows you how different they are from each other. Jarod loves to touch and feel things where as Chord would rather just look and read about them LOL. He's not much of a hands on person LOL.

So even though we didn't have a lot of "book" work today I believe we did a lot of learning. All in all it was a good day for all of us. I think hubby enjoyed the quiet house while we were over the neighbors LOL. I hope everyone had a good day today as well :).

Ugh another humid day. Add to that we had a bit of some drama with our new neighbors. It's been something since they moved in. I won't get into details but it's been pretty much a respect issue and well there is no respect at all of anything. I pray that things will be resolved and we can live peaceably. I hate having conflict with neighbors. At least we have the other one we have always gotten along with.

Not much else going on today. It was laundry day LOL. It got done pretty quickly. I know when winter comes we have a lot more laundry. It always seems to happen that way LOL. Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. Just seems too hot to think of anything LOL. One of these days I will post more though LOL. Hope everyone had a good day.

Ugh it was a hot and sticky day today. It did rain some today but it sure didn't help the humidity. Didn't do too much today. Went outside and played baseball with the boy's and their friends. they all had a good time.

Tomorrow we are going to my sil and bil's house for a 4th of July get together (yes I know tomorrow isn't the 4Th LOL) their town is having the fireworks and my sil and bil's house is really close to it. Last year the fireworks display was great and the boy's loved it!! This year I am sure they will too. Plus they get to see family they haven't seen in a while. The boy's are the oldest cousins but they still love to see and play with their cousins.

I hope everyone is staying cool. Sorry I didn't have much to blog about today. Too hot and sticky LOL.
