The Ants go marching one by one....

Whatever happen to Under-roos?

FOUND THEM! Came across these at JC Penney, and even though they are not that strange poly blend of the 80's (thank goodness)... they serve the same purpose to make the average child into a SUPERHERO! In fact Davey loves these so much, that he does not want to take them off! He wears them thru 98 degree heat and takes them off for bath time only to put them on again after the bath (ick). The best part is the running through the house, arms wide just like "the man" himself. What would be supercool is if I could find pictures of Mommy in her WonderWoman under-roos. Then we could compare outfits. Attention Lou... find me a picture please!!!

UP...Up... and AWAY!!!!!

We love a parade!

As president of our Homeowners Association, we planned to have a community party on the National Night Out for neighborhoods. Our subdivision had a bar-b-q and there was a fun parade organized by our local neighborhood.
As we sat waiting for the parade to pass by and not to mention drenched in sweat from the record hot day, I realized this wasn't Davey's 1st parade. Last summer he saw his 1st Mickey parade at Disneyworld. This one was however, a more traditional community activity, no fabulous show and no costumed creatures.

There were clowns (nothing scarier than a clown) and several bands and parade officials. Davey enjoyed the music and the sites. He loved the police cars and firetrucks. But his favorite thing was the car throwing candy and his lucky catch was a purple tootsie pop. I knew braving the heat and dehydration on a hot summer night was worth it when my boy caught the lollipop of his choice. He smiled ear to ear. Nothing fancy, just a fun activity- that didn't get rained out!

Summer Fun...well, sort of

OK, so you haven't really heard the fun adventures of Jen & Davey this summer... well there haven't been that many. It seems that every time we try and set up a fun activity it rains or better yet... lightining and thunder storms.

On this particular evening, we were set to go a-movie-in-the-park to see "the Goonies" with our friends Kim & Cole. But, about 20 minutes before showtime- BAAAAMM! WASHOOOOO! BAAAAMMMM! These were Davey's sounds exactly as the storm closed over us!

So- no movie in the park for us. Just a trip to the movie store and then the movie in the comfort of your house with popcorn included. Maybe another day.

4th of July Sparkler

Another 4th of July has given us a great reason to relax for a day or two. We did have a chance to take in some pool time at our friend Kim's, friend's neighborhood pool. It was around-a-bout way to get a day of fun in the sun, but the slide and adult swim times made me a believer on imposing on friends. They had actually laid it out nicely with games for the kids and a giant buffet of festive foods. And did I mention the best part was that it was mostly young or mid-aged couples with kids- and they were in need of beverages too! What more could you ask for? A bigger supply of Mojhito's maybe?

Then it was onto our own little feast of every type of July 4th food one could ask for. Kim & I invited several friends and neighbors and had a fun time. Most of my time was spent on the grill and Kim's was in the kitchen. However the drinks were flowing and food was tasty. Davey had fun with Cole and Micha. They ran, swang, played and ran some more. We did not venture out for fireworks, but instead opted for some sparklers and watching the neighborhood skies. Wish we had just a few more fun days like this in summertime!
