Catching up (in pics)
Thank goodness last week is over!! I'm ready to get back to a normal summer pace of life.
I have a lot of catching up to do, but I thought I'd catch up via a small photo dump of phone pics.
Here we go....
Nice photo bomb, Jack.
This is a follow-up from [this post]. Just wanting to document that she wore the mittens to Sarah's softball game. It was 95 degrees.
I couldn't convince her to leave them at home.
As soon as we sat down, she took them off and put them in my purse.
They're still in there. My purse is a black hole of trash and kid junk... as you may remember from [this post].
..........................
Jack loves to read to Caroline. Here he's reading her a bedtime story. So sweet!
BUT it's also sweet that she lets him read to her. Most of the time he's asking comprehension questions as he reads. That's probably why she has that look of concentration on her face.
She wants to get 100 on the quiz.
..........................
My niece, Kate, turned 3 on Wednesday the 19th. We went to my sister's house for pizza and cake on Father's Day to celebrate.
The cousins had a great time together!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATE!
............................
Friday night we went to church to watch the Fine Arts Camp production of "Colossal Coaster World". It was our VBS theme. Over 200 kids performed. They did a great job!
(Sarah's front row, yellow Tshirt, purple headband, purple skirt)
.........................
Today is Dad's 65th birthday. The kids made him a dog at Build A Bear workshop and recorded messages for him.
Although I have NO idea what Dad's going to do with a stuffed dog, they sure had fun making it for him.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!!!
..................
Ok, that pretty much gets us caught up. We did go to a small family reunion today at my grandmother's assisted living home. I'll upload pics of that some time soon. I saw cousins and great aunts and uncles that I hadn't seen in a long time.
Aaaannnnd we had lunch at Luby's. You're jealous. You know you are.

forgotten Easter pics
I meant to add these but forgot. I have to add them for scrapbook purposes.
Cousins at Easter...
Yes, they're all very similar... But you know when you have 6 kids you just press the button down and continually "click" hoping that at least one will be good.
I thought these were all cute.
Back row: Alex- 7, Rachel - 8, Sarah- 7
Front row: Caroline - 3, Kate- 2, Jack- 6

Easter Egg Hunt
This morning we had an Easter egg hunt at church. "Hunt" is the wrong word. More like a "scramble" or "pick-up".
We got there right on time, and I'm sure glad we did! Caroline's group (3's, 4's, and Pre K) were the first to pick up eggs.
Here she is ready to go. A fierce competitor.
She seemed to be picky at first, running past certain eggs and picking up others. Then her greed kicked in, and she picked up whatever she could find.
Caroline with Morgan and Keegan. We'll see them later today. It's Morgan's 3rd birthday. :)
Then it was the Kindergarten - 2nd graders turn. Jack VS Sarah.
GO!
Checking out their loot.
The cousins were there too. It's so hard-- read "impossible"-- to get them all to look at the camera at the same time. But you get the idea.
We'll get together with them tomorrow at Mom and Dad's for lunch and a true HUNT. When Dad hides eggs, it's no joke!
BTW, did you know they make plastic eggs called "Hard to Find" eggs? They're gray and shaped like rocks. Or brown and shaped like sticks. Or green with blades of grass drawn on them.
Somewhere there are diabolical people in Easter Egg Factory boardrooms thinking of ways to frustrate kids. They're probably the same people who thought of trick birthday candles and pinatas that are impossible to break.

Mary Poppins
Last night we went to the theat-uh (That's "theater" written in a British accent.) to see "Mary Poppins". (I don't know how to type it the way Bert says it, but that's the way I'm saying it in my mind.)
I spoke in a British accent a lot yesterday. (It's hahd to stop a British ahccent once you've stahted.) I think my kids grew a little sick of it... especially because my accent sounds a whole lot like Eliza Doolittle before Professor Higgins helps her.
We all went to eat at the food court in our mall before our night out.
Then everyone in this picture (+) my mom (minus) the men (minus) Kate went to see the show.
More easily said-- Sarah, Jack, Caroline, Mom, Hilary, Rachel, Alex, and I went to see the show. Hmm. Maybe that wasn't more easily said.
The kids loved it! I think if they had one word to describe it, it would HAVE TO be... supercalifragilisticexpealidocious.
The dancing was fun! The actors were so talented. Even watching the sets change was spellbinding. But I'm pretty sure their minds were blown when Mary Poppins flew with her umbrella and when Bert walked on the wall and on the ceiling. I, of course, saw the cables, but Sarah was convinced that he had on suction cup shoes.
It was a late night, and Caroline ended up sleeping through most of the second act. But Sarah was still talking about it this morning.
Jolly good show, ol' chaps!
(That's British, right?)
Ok, I'm done with the accent.

Memorial Day 2012
We invited my sister and her crew and my mom and dad over for a pool party yesterday.
One thing that really helped keep us cool-- Jason bought another fan for outside that had a mister with it.
As in a spraying device in front of the fan. Misting water. For some reason, when I wrote that, I felt like that sentence read as though we had a "Mr." as opposed to "Mrs". Like we bought a fan that came with a man. Not the case. Just didn't want anyone to be confused. ;)
Pressing forward in the recap of the afternoon...
We had all snacks and drinks while the kids swam.
Caroline swam a little...
I didn't catch whether or not Kate got in, but she was ready at any moment. :) Noodle. Check. Goggles. Check.
Other pics from the afternoon...
After swimming, we ate burgers. We had a tent/canopy thing set up for the kids. The adult area was pretty well shaded by 6:30 so we were good. The kids played in the sandbox for a little while. Then we headed out front to the swing.
Jason was pushing the kids pretty high.
Then he introduced them to the "Tornado of Terror". He wound the swing tight. Round and round. Then he pulled them back high and let them go. So, not only were they swinging, but they were spinning. I'm not quite sure how we managed to not have anyone throw up.
It was hard to capture the Tornado of Terror digitally and do it justice.
This is one of my favorite pics. Jason was describing the Tornado of Terror to Alex. Asking him if he could handle it. Telling him it was intense. And Alex is just smiling away.
He didn't back down. He loved it.
Everyone went home around 8:00. I threw the kids in the tub and then they crawled into our bed to watch TV before they went upstairs.
Terrible pic. Sorry.
A fun day!

Easter lunch and egg hunt at the Fisheros after church
(But mostly pics of the egg hunt.)
Dad hid eggs all over the yard, and each child (McGlamerys and Valentes) got a section to hunt.
That's the way we've always done it, and it's how I hide eggs for my kids. Each child gets their own room where their eggs are hidden. There's no competition to find your eggs before someone else steals them all. This way you can hunt without pressure. :) AND I can hide them in easy places for Caroline and trickier spots for the big kids.
Of course, every party needs a boy in a sombrero.
The boys looked for eggs in the backyard.
For whatever reason this one is my favorite of him. The hat. The look on his face. I like this one.
The big girls were on the side of the house. The little girls were in the front yard. And at some point, they all came together.
Mom had the tables decorated so cute(ly?) for lunch, but I failed to take pics of them. :(
The kids had brightly colored egg shaped plates and a stuffed bunny as a center piece at the kitchen table. ("Stuffed" as in "toy". Not taxidermied. Just wanted to be clear. ;) ) And the adults were in the dining room.
It's AWESOME to have a kids table and an adult table in two separate rooms. Every year holidays get so much better!!
In fact we were reminiscing about the many, many holidays we spent at the kitchen table with a baby or 2 in a high chair, a toddler or 2 at the Disney Princess table, and a baby in an exersaucer. Puts my stomach in knots just thinking about it.
After lunch all the little monkeys [minus Kate] got in Uncle B's bed and watched "Aladdin".
While the adults ate oreo cheesecake in peace. :)
Hallelujah! Amen!
