This is day what of summer vacation????

This is technically my first day of summer vacation, although my boss asked me if I would test a little one on Friday......I still started summer TODAY!!!! With that being said, we got dressed this morning to take Parker to golf this morning, which was pretty uneventful, got him there just in time and Madelyn and I went shopping. This is where the fun started! We went shopping at Marshall's and for the first time ever I didn't strap her in stroller or a cart. I decided that she was big girl enough to listen to me and stay right with me. I know what your thinking and this all happened at 10:30 this morning.....too early for my good sense to kick in!!! She kept herself pretty content carrying around the most tacky, pink purse I have ever seen and a metal Curious George lunchbox full of golf balls (don't ask....I didn't). All in all, I only lost her one time that really scared me.....all the other times I found her pretty quickly. I am determined that she will be a shopper like her mama and that we WILL have fun when we shop!!

When I picked Parker up from golf I found him on the Back Deck chatting up some chics (two to be exact). I just had to watch this interaction because it was too cute!! When I first walked up Parker was talking to these girls in a very animated way.....I could only imagine what he was saying, because one of them shook her finger at him and they both walked away only to turn back, and in a very sassy way, say something back to him. I could NOT WAIT to get the scoop on their conversation. When we got in the car I asked him who is friends were and he abruptly told me that they were not his friends, in fact, one of the girls, Ashton, kept blocking his putts by either putting her club in the ball's path or kicking his ball before he putt. So I asked him what they were talking about and he said he was asking them if they wanted to play with him. I had to laugh.....two chicks who had given him such a hard time earlier and he wanted to play with them. A little bit later he told me that they were saying he didn't know his math skills (who really says that crap?) and that Ms. Frier (his teacher this past year) didn't know her math skills either......SERIOUSLY?!?! I just told him that he needed to stay away from them and focus on his golf. Aaaahhhhh, the drama of a seven-year-old. I told Park that those girls probably liked him and that's why they were being like that, but he strongly disagreed!!!

Braved taking the kids to Sam's by myself......sometimes I just don't know why I do the things I do! We did walk out with books instead of toys.....always a good thing. Parker chose a chapter book titled The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Apparently this is a series so I am sure we will be reading much more about the wimpy kid. Naturally, Mad chose a Dora book that translates words from English to Spanish....Chris and I will have a good time with this!

I am trying to remember that Madelyn is two-years-old and her age alone should explain why she does what she does, but OMG!!!! Within fifteen minutes of getting home from Sam's, she tried to stick the headphones jack into an electrical outlet, sprayed febreeze all over my floor and Bubba's shoes. She is very fast!! Is there anyone interested in having Maddy camp this summer? :) At the end of the day she is still the cutest thing, along with her brother, that I have ever seen and am so excited to spend each day with them.
