ETA - I started this post the week of June 21st. I didn't get to finish, so some info is old, but it's better than nothing.
It's been 20 plus days since my last post. I have no excuses. None. I'll use the old saying, "I'm busier than a 1 armed paper hanger" to describe the chaos known as the Perry household. Speaking of Perry household, if Andrew comes in contact with or witnesses someone doing something we don't do in or at the Perry household, he will politely (unless it's Zachary) say, "Oh no sir, we don't do that in the Perry household. Ain't that right, Mama?". Add in a little bit of know-it-all '
tude and you've got my incredibly cute son telling people how it is. Back to being busy. We have been on the go, go, go lately. Robbie started a new job, we've been to the beach twice, we're in the midst of
VBS at church and we've got one month left until Kindergarten starts. Lord, deliver me!
It's been hotter than seven or more hells in NC the past few weeks. I'm talking upper 90's and tomorrow is supposed to be 100 or more. I love hot weather. Don't get me wrong. I welcome this heat over snow and cold, but I need a beach or a LARGE pool to enjoy as well. Since our moving to the
cawntry (that's country for you city slickers) almost 2 years ago, we gave up neighborhood pool for a small 'hood and a bigger yard. I don't regret it, but I have to drive 20 plus min to get to a pool and by the time I get there I am aggravated, tired and not in the mood to fight the pool battle. You mamas out there know exactly what I'm talking about. The one on two defensive strategy doesn't work. I've got one kid who is semi
ok to swim with
floaties and one completely WILD 2 year old who wants to get in, get out, get in, get out and run around the pool deck. Can I get an AMEN? I'm trying to win the battle and by summer's end I shall prevail.
I've got almost one month to plan for Zachary's 2
nd birthday. Can you believe my littlest guy is 2? Where has the time gone? This sweet child of mine is wild. I mean dare devil, won't sit still, into everything wild. You cannot take your eyes off of him for one second. He's learned how to climb onto the counter in his bathroom (this counter is so high that I have to stand on my tip toes to wash my face.) and play with
Zoubek. He's into Monster's, Inc. and is obsessed with
Sulwee. At least we can't complain of dull moments at our house.
Andrew is really getting into swimming this year. He wants so badly to swim without his
swimmies, but I just can't go there. We may try to get him some one on one lessons this year. Since Kindergarten is only half day for us we'll have more opportunities for afternoon lessons. We ended T-ball on a high note. He really wants to play for Coach Steve again next year. Did I mention he was pitcher during our last game and threw to 1st and got the kid out? This, my friends, is a big deal for my man. Huge! I don't know who was thrilled more. Me or the coaches. They screamed and cheered like it was their own kid. I'm super proud. Can you tell?
We'll be back at the beach in August for a long weekend and I cannot wait. The boys had so much fun the last time we went. I'm ready to do it again.
Ok, I've rambled enough. Will post pics later.
