There's an Aardvark in our House!

Hello everyone,

It's about 10pm on Monday night and I'm in bed with the laptop...struggling to stay awake as I type this! Summer is fun but exhausting - the kids have so many things going on that each day brings its challenges with how to juggle it all. Even though we are lucky to have so many options, I sometimes long for the days that we spent our summers on bikes, playing kick the can and building forts. There was really a sense of down time and a rejuvenation period. Now we run at full speed 12 months a year. Wonder if our kids will be better or worse off for it. They certainly use their imaginations a lot less...

Anyway, my mom-in-law comes tomorrow and will stay over and take the girls to see Tarzan at our regional theater on Wed. Both my daughters love to see shows so that will be the highlight of the week. We are also getting ready for overnight camp. My oldest daughter goes for two weeks and my youngest for one (they overlap the first week so we'll be footloose and fancy free!) More on that later...

Oh, we have a new pet - an aardvark Webkinz named Varkalina...she's a good snuggler and cute, sort of. Everyone should own at least one aardvark, right? We have two because one of my daughters think she's an aardvark but that's for another post as well.

Okay, time for some shut eye. Hey is anyone surprised about J.Lo and Marc Anthony or did you see that one coming? Just wondering. Will check in again tomorrow.
