I am back

Arthur had a poopy diaper....no wonder he is still awake!! It didn't stink so I had no clue!! Sleeping is not going to be an option for awhile so I guess we are going to be up playing. Arthur is playing with his monster trucks and track.

It was really hot all weekend (104) and now it is thundering and raining. The rain feels refreshing and is cooling off everything!!! I am going to watch my favorite show Jon and Kate Plus Eight tonight. Actually I watch it because they are such interesting people and not in a good way. If you read on-line about them you see all kinds of stuff about how greedy they are and how they take advantage of people. I think it might be true.... I hope Aaron gets home soon so we can watch it together.

We went to a birthday party this weekend for an old friends little girl. She turned two. It was a really nice party!! I really enjoyed myself. My sister-in-law Karen came, my mom and Karen's kids. After that we went home and got ready to go to the circus. The circus was lots and lots of fun. Aaron and Arthur rode an elephant. We ate roasted peanuts and Arthur got his face painted. We also fed goats and looked at a hippo and a big snake. We did not touch the snake. You could get your picture taken with it for $5.00. I will try to post a picture tonight of Arthur that we took when we got home. He looks totally exhausted in the picture and I think it is really cute. He really enjoyed himself.

Yesterday we went to the farm for my sister Katie's 40th birthday party. We had a very nice dinner with corn on the cob, ribs, bread, potato salad and a bunch of other stuff. Maddy and Karen made a really pretty cake using starburst candies. All the kids were being really sweet and we had a pinata. That was kind of fun!!! It took us a long time to figure out how to put the candy in the pinata and I had to call my friend Vianca for tips.
