So, maybe not as much time as I thought! :)

I underestimated the "free" time I have. (I'm pretty sure we all do this) When I started this blog, I thought that it would be easy to post once or twice a week. Little did I know at the time just how busy the last week or two would be. I have pictures I've taken, but Jas has the camera at work with him, so I'll post those later.
Because of the school re-opening (where Cody goes) we had to start up a new PTA and let me tell you, it isn't the easiest nor funnest thing to do! But, it will be completely worth it once we get everything straightened out. The school is in sad need of a new playground. The current one is a series of splintered wood and huge tires (which turns childrens clothing BLACK, and it is nearly impossible to get it out) and one slide that is so steep and fast the kids have to be monitored on it. And sadly, not everyone can use the "big" equipment at the same time. Cody came home one day and told me that it wasn't their "turn" to play on the big equipment that day, it was the big kids turn. So, needless to say, we need new equipment. And for a new PTA (who starts in the red) it is daunting to say the least to try and come up with fundraisers, etc to raise the money needed for the playground! But, we're working on it.........
Jason was in Winachee, WA(sp) last Thurs and Fri for work and it was early out Thurs for the kids at school. So my neighbor and I decided to take the kids to ChuckECheese. It's a great place to dump a lot of cash :), if you're so inclined (I must of had too much wine or beer when I agreed to go :)) And if you win a bajillion "tickets" you can get a fabulous prize/toy, ya know like a plastic slinkey that breaks on the way to the car!! Oh well, the kids had fun.
When I told Jason that I started this blog he told me (and he told me to quote him) "That blogs are stupid, and it's just one more thing for you (Amber) to do during the day so that you (Amber) don't get anything done around the house." I told him I'd have no problem quoting him. He of course said this half joking, half serious. He honestly thinks blogs are a waste of time, but he just wanted to get my goat with the rest of the comment, and of course he did! :) turd.......
Anyway, I'll sign off for now and post pictures later.............................

Sorry Jason, but I like reading blogs...as long as they get updated (ha, ha Amber!!), it is great to keep up on what is happening and keep in touch.

Andrew had early release last Thursday as well! He and the rest of the neighbor kids just played outside all afternoon together.

Good luck on the PTA thing...we just finished our fundraiser (although I didn't participate, everyone in the neighborhood had the same stuff, so there goes the neighbors, and we were selling frozen pizzas, so there goes the family when you don't live really close).

Actually, you can sell ads on your site and actually make a few bucks. That said, the best way to get a lot of hits is to write a ton about one subject over and over, and I'm not sure if 2 boys will work.:)
