Sept 11, 2011- I remember
I woke up this morning walked outside and looked up at the beautiful blue sky dotted with billowy white clouds and was immediately transported back 10 years. The sky looked exactly the same that terrible morning. I remember turning off the television that morning and scooping up my almost one year old and stepping outside with tears in my eyes as I surveyed that same beautiful sky knowing that the world had forever changed.
I remember seeing those horrific images on TV over and over again and each time I could feel my heart breaking for the families who would not see their loved ones again. I remember being amazed by the courageous men and women who without hesitation headed toward the devastation to help their fellow citizens. I remember the evolving story of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania and how ordinary people banded together to do something extraordinary. I remember the hole in the Pentagon. I remember the feeling of helplessness. I remember the reading of the names at Ground Zero. I remember watching our President leading his nation with such grace and determination. I remember the anger. I remember the overwhelming fear of what could happen.
10 years later I still cry when I hear tributes to the victims of September 11th. I still am concerned about the safety of our homeland. I still look at a beautiful blue sky and wonder "what if" I still get angry. Time has passed and life must go on, but now it has now been tinged with the remembrances of that day.

Sunday july 31 2011
Last night B was the official sash bearer at the 2011 Miss Berkeley County Youth Fair Contest. She was so excited. We attended a tea for the contestants Saturday afternoon. B wasn't nervous at all. She marched right up there during the rehearsal and when they called her up for the real thing she didn't hesitate at all. She was much braver than I have ever been!
Headed to bed early tonight (well early by my usual standards) I am meeting my sister at 345 in the morning to take them to the airport. They are going to be spending the week in California hitting up Disney while they are there. I must really love them, right? (or just expecting a really nice souvenir)

Today:
Ordered dance pictures-the girls were super excited to see them!
Shopping with the kids-always a fun time! C used his birthday money to buy a $40 necklace that "all the MLB players wear"
Lunch and dinner-I cooked neither....which was nice (I do believe I could live on Logan's dinner rolls for the rest of my life!)

@Monkey Joes with the crew. Now eating Coldstone ice cream. I love our fun Fridays!

My sister Dayna and I have decided that once a week this summer we will do something fun with the kids. The kids have dubbed it "Fun Friday" Today after swimming lessons we headed to Monkey Joe's (an indoor inflatables playland) stopping first for lunch of course at Chipotle and a quick trip to Five Below for supplies for our trip next week to the beach.
Monkey Joe's was fun for the kids and Dayna and I discovered some pretty funny blogs using their free wi-fi. I think that is the best part of Monkey Joe's. The kids can play in a reasonably safe place (not including the kid with the giant poop stain on his pants that K spotted) and I can surf the internet in semi-peace. We ended the day with ice cream and a sleep over with T spending the night at our house. All in all a very fun "Fun Friday"
A day in the life.....
Ok I've got a new mission for my blog. A few weeks ago we had a yard sale and while going through all our junk I came across an dvd/vcr combo player and some old vhs tapes of C and K when they were little. We sat and watched them until about 1230 that night. I realized that the last 12 years have been a complete blur. There were little things about our old house I saw on the video that brought back many memories. I also went through alot of the kids clothes and K was impressed that I remembered when and where she was wearing certain outfits. So.....my new mission for this blog is to "try" to somehow capture the simple day to day moments either in video, in pictures or in my witty narrative.
So here goes:

Swim lessons this morning for B and K. This is K's second week of lessons. Tomorrow is the last day for both of them. I will be glad to not have to get them up and to the park pool by 9am every morning. Last year K broke her arm in between the two weeks and wasn't able to finish so the simple fact that we have made it 99% through is a very good thing! K has made a new friend a swim lessons. She makes friends easily and I really admire that quality in her. I was not that outgoing as a kid and I am so proud of her!
B is bossy as usual. My sister and I watched her class today as they moved from one pool to another and she was half walking, half running (because you know what the lifeguards say about running near the pool) of course she was in the front of the line with a little boy right behind her. As they were jockeying back and forth she nonchalantly stuck her arm straight out so the boy could not get by and managed to stay line leader. This chid will be my downfall ;)
Not sure what C did all day beside play Madden football on his Playstation. He is in that in-between stage where he doesn't want to come with "the girls" and do what we are doing, but he complains about being bored ALL THE TIME!
We played some whiffle ball this evening and C took B riding on the mule (like a golf cart). Oh and my wonderful parents gave me some pork tenderloin all cured up and ready to fry....yumm was it good!
One of B's preschool classmates had an end of preschool pool party last weekend. She was a little scared to jump off the diving board, but once she did it she wouldn't be stopped!
