- Thursday, I took the kids to a local circus. There was a groupon, so it was $26 for 2 adult tickets and 4 children - plus all you could eat pizza. I was all excited about a cheap night out - but everything else was $6. Want an ice pop (in the 100 degree heat)? $6. Ride on a pony? $6. Three slides down the bouncy slide? $6. Thankfully, I ignored the sign that said no outside food or drink, and brought water bottles for all of us. Cam rode a pony and was SUPER excited. The circus itself was fun, a few acrobats, a couple of animal acts and a funny clown. Maggie was VERY distraught by the trapeze and high wire - Uh oh, Mommy! Tell dem to be careful! And she CRIED like bloody murder when the animal acts left (No! Come back!). Cam and his buddy had a BLAST.
- I don't regret going at all, but damn, it was hot in that tent. It's amazing to me how kids seem to not notice the heat.
- The next day, I had the day off. I was going on a Girl's Weekend to the Cape (a friend has a house there) so in order to avoid traffic I took the whole day. The friend I was carpooling with couldn't leave until noon.
- I spent the morning with another pal watching SYTYCD (saved on the DVR) and getting pedicures.
- Then off to the Cape, where we hit no traffic!
- Spend the weekend, child-free, reading books, going for bike rides and swimming in the ocean. It was heavenly.
- Got home just in time for the Block Party I helped plan, which was also a huge success.
- Monday morning was my first swim team practice - and it was great. I felt awesome during and after - and am looking forward to going again tomorrow!
- Last night, took the kids to member's only night at the New England Aquarium, where Cam was finally brave enough to pet a shark! He was SUPER excited.
- And now, I'm getting ready to take all of next week off - we are planning on going up to the coast of Maine.
- I love summer.

Summer Leftovers
Since I wasn't online Friday and we've done so much these past few days, bullet post it is!

No traffic to the Cape? Lucky you! I commute home down the SE Expressway, and ever since Memorial Day, my drive home is insane, especially on Fridays. If I don't leave work by 3:30, I won't get to preschool on time.
I heard all about the Aquarium thing this morning at preschool, too. I guess a couple of people went. It sounds like you're doing a lot of fun things.
That sounds like pretty much one of the best summer weeks of all time.
Yes, I do have trouble sleeping. I mean, I really haven't had more than a drink or two in the last SIX years, but yes. And that's a studied one too, alcohol disrupts sleep, even though most people don't think it does.
Yeah, yeah - I know the studies, but I didn't believe it. Now, I do. Getting old sucks.
We didn't even hit traffic on the bridge on Sunday. It was insane. We didn't speak of it.
When we went to the circus we got a good deal too. I only let them pick one thing to ride or do and that was it, because with three kiddos that adds up fast.
Have you tried drinking a bunch of water after drinking? I only have a couple every once in a blue moon and always drink water after and seem to pass out just fine. LOL!
