End of May

It’s the end of May and we have been busy so it’s time to update everyone! We have been spending as much time at the cottage as possible despite Cam still working 60+ hours a week. In the next couple weeks or so he might actually be able to take two days off in row – honestly people, that’s big news! I’m not as worn out as I sound, just missing Cam being around as much as he usually is!
So – we have been cottaging! The boys resemble lepers on Sunday night when we drive home (or to Nonna’s) as the mosquitoes love the fresh meat! I’m trying to teach them to smack mosquitoes cause they don’t know and they are getting feasted on! The biggest surprise, Charlie reacts more negatively to the bites than my fair-skinned red head! Who knew! Charlie now knows when to ask for Benadryl making his “itchies” less annoying! The lake has been warming up and it was up to 80 degrees this past weekend! Needless to say it was hard to keep them out the lake! A bunch of fishes they are! Allison is currently cooking up baby #2 and if the weather stays as warm as it has – it’s going to be a hot one for her! Luckily she can float or swim around when needed – 80 is comfortable for swimming.
So tonight is Charlie’s first night of soccer and as I write this I realize that we forgot the camera at the cottage – or actually, I forgot it! YIKES! Better ask for back-up….OK – got back up….now I’ll be able to look at the pictures after I cry my eyes out! I’m a sober…it’s true…everything special and new the boys do I cry! It’s hereditary actually…my mom is bawler too!
I’ve started my part time job now! I’m doing a rotation with my company and until March I will be working three days a week. I’m hoping to enjoy more time with the kids and more time at the cottage. If all goes well I will try to job share once this rotation is up.
So I’ll post some new pictures soon – just wanted to update everyone…we are busy as usual, but really, who isn’t?
Cheers!
