Crazy Life !!!

Let me tell you about my last 10 minutes...lol..Decided to cut the back yard for two reasons..I ate pizza today so I wanted to burn it off and since my hubby has to go mow the grass at his dad's every weekend, it takes so much time...so I mow the grass.. and here is where it gets good... get all the way done except for one little 1 foot wide by 10' strip and run outta gas...go out gate to gas can from garage come back and latch didn't latch on the gate and it's a swinging..do i worry about dog bolting? Nope, she's in teh back with the kids...or is she ? See dog running across teh street at neighbors house, call dog..dog comes running, then changes mind and takes off down street..latch gate, run to back yard to get kids.. Austin is in the pool with my TRUCK KEYS (battery operated key fob and all), grab keys and kids, run inside, strip them of bathing suits to jump into car to find dog..tell Keira, run to room and throw on some clothes.. CRASH !!! Slips on tile and starts screaming !!! I ask her is she's okay, yes, I am fine and then Austin starts screaming and crying bcuz Keira is hurt...OMG !!! Walk to Austin's room to throw clothes on him... NO DIAPERS !!!! OMG !!! Go back in kitchen to grab diapers and decide to open door to see if I can call the dog..guess who's sitting at the door?? And what was your last 10 minutes??

4th of July

Once again it was very busy (yet fun) 4th of July..Started at PaPa's house (Shane's grandfather) for the annual parade and some goooooooddd lunch...We were joined again this year by Dean and Dottie (Shane's great-uncle and aunt)..it ended kinda scaryily though...Dean was walking his dog Duffy outside and took the kids out in the yard to play and Austin found a hornet nest in the ground...Yup he got it...the screech that boy let loose was enough to make me fly off the porch and run (or fly) to him...As we were running inside I noticed he still had stingers in him, so I started pulling them out..NOT knowing that hornets don't loose their stingers unless they are yanked out..so that means he got a few of those suckers too... (lol)..while sitting in the kitchen trying to figure out exactly what got him, I notice something in his hand..YUP it was a hornet..he managed to hold onto one...I slapped it out and it went for Shane's face (mean little suckers)..MeeMaw managed to make a miracle paste (at least I thought so) that eased the sting and drew out the poison..Baking soda and water..didn't know about it, boy did it work !!! By that afternoon all swelling was gone and all he had was some holes...All in all he got stung 6 times on his legs between shoes and shorts and they left HOLES in him, but he didn't notice after about 20  minutes and he was ready to go BACK OUTSIDE..NOPE..Momma squashed that one !!! lol...

We went home for naps and then onto our 4th of July firework watching at Galveston..Grandpa was finally able to join us for the first time this year since he is retired...We stopped at Rainforest Cafe for dinner, got in a little fender bender, headed to sea wall and noticed that it was already closed to traffic..why? they were having a parade !!! It was awesome !!! So we got a parade and then the fireworks...it was a long drive, but a beautiful night and NO WAY would I trade it for a bug infested, packed firework display downtown....
