I have been wanting to write about this for a while, but just haven't.  The Boston Children's Museum has had a "Wizard of Oz".  N has loved it.  We read the book to get ready for it, though it focused just on the movie.

N and Z's building that they created and destroyed shortly after.

Busy Summer

What a busy summer this has turned into. I find it incredible that when you have nothing really planned, it can be so busy that one can not get online to make a simple blog post. I believe that Mo Williems has has the right idea with his blog. He has gone from a regular daily posting to summer times, which means he does one large daily post.

N has woken up early, the inlaws arrive today and I am trying to pay the bills. All this together means a really short post. Today is a day about cleaning, going to the store and trying to stay cool. It is suppose to be 97 today with a 80% humidity. It will be a painful day. I think that we will be going to the Children's Museum this afternoon. I don't have much desire to go, but it does have AC.

If we have not melted, then I will do a big post with pictures tonight or tomorrow morning. I also want to update my want list. I didn't get all seven things, but I got a couple. Not to mention some new wants.

A House Full

M's brother and his family have arrived. The baby, who will turn 1 in a couple of weeks, is such an easy baby (I am sure that the parents would argue with me) to have around. She is happy most of the time and mainly just smiles. It is exhausting to have a baby around the house again. I have gotten use to the not having to keep an eye on the kids every single second. They are here off and on until the end of July. This is the busy week though, we have: park for the free lunch (we missed it yesterday), aquarium, Boston Children's Museum, outdoor movie, cruise in the harbor, beach and the 4th of July. That is all only this week. The next week they come will be a little slower.

All alone this CRAZY week

M had to go to New York this week. Some ways it was good that it was this week and others ways it was bad. Bad because it is always more exhausting when she is gone. I am amazed by the amount of energy that single parents have. One week is about all I can handle until I am ready to break. Good that it is this week because we have so much stuff to do this week that it will be easier for the girls. We are going to the Children's Museum, Aquarium, open house at the new school, doctors appointment (which is at 8.30 because I thought that M would take them, boy did that not work out as planned) and a test at Harvard. So it is a full week ahead of us. I think that Saturday will be M's day with the kids.
