So long without writing

Well, life got quite hectic with our foster Dane who was sick, so I didn't get anytime to write over the past few days.  Things should slow down now!  Albie had a serious stomach issue causing massive pure liquid diarhea all over my rugs.  I have hardwood floors, but area rugs covering most of them to help the dogs with traction.  After the few accidents Albie had in the house I scrubbede and scrubbed, but the carpets just would come clean.  Finally on Monday I felt we were safe from more attacks and took the dining room area rug out into the garage and steam cleaned it.  When it was dry I brought it back in and had Ed help me get the living room rug out there.  I didn't have time to steam clean it yesterday, but it got done first thing this AM.  I feel so much better about the house now.  While the rugs were up I steamed mopped and polished the hardwood floors.  Between my kids and my dogs, they take a beating! 
We always have Wednesday night dinner with my family, normally at my parents house.  During the summer we have been having dinner at my sisters by the pool.  We swim for a little while, then fix dinner while the kids finish swimming.  I think my kids would stay int he pool all day and night if I let them.  They are loving it this year and are both doing so well!  I am so proud of them. 
Tomorrow my parents and I are taking my boys and my nephew to see Cars 2.  Hopefully it won't be too crowded if we go to the first show and it's on a Thursday.  Friday night a local shopping center is having a free event, movie under the stars.  They are showing How to train Your Dragon and 5 Below is giving away goody bags and popcorn to all the kids.  I think we are going to try to go to that as well.  I am up gor anything free to do with the kids.  We went to the library today to check in for our summer reading program.  There was an event, but the older boys weren't interested in staying for it.  It was singing and they said they don't like singing.  Ty and I wanted to stay, but I knew the older two would make it miserable for us, so we had lunch out and then went grocery shopping. 
I think I am all caught up now.  Hopefully I will have more time to write over the next couple of days.  I love writing and getting all of my thoughts out of my head!  Just in case I don't touch base over the weekend, Happy 4th!!!!
