Cabin weekend

First of all, no I haven't finished the book yet. I keep trying, but I have so many other things that can't wait that I have to read mostly at night when the kids are in bed and Ryan is in rehearsals. Life for me is a little out of control. It is hard to be a single mom most days of the week. Ryan's mom has been helping us get our 1 year supply of food storage, so most spare minutes of the day is wrapped up in that. We have all been sick, except Ryan, and Sheldon starts Kindergarten in a couple of weeks. So needless to say I'm a bit out of control.

Anyhow, last weekend with took Ryan's family up to the cabin. We had lots of fun, but what Sheldon and Allie enjoyed the most was having some special time with Ryan.

We took the kids to the "Kids' pond" and Ryan showed Sheldon how to skip rocks. Ryan is a total pro at it and Sheldon was starting to get the hang of it.

Allie just loved the idea that she could walk in the water and find rocks. She would bend down to pick one up and dip her bum in the water and couldn't figure out why her bum kept getting wet. She would pick up a bigger sized rock and say, "I a strowng grril... huh Mom." She is a crack up.

Big E thought the kids splashing in the water was great! He just laughed and really enjoyed the chaos. When I put his feet in the water however he'd screamed bloody murder. I giggled and just did it again. I know, I'm a mean mom!

Other than that it is the same old craziness as always. Right now I feel like I am hanging on by a thread, but I will try to post again soon!
