T.G.I.F..I guess!


Well I haven't posted in a few days because it's been mighty busy around here. I guess since the rain has stopped, we are now able to enjoy the last few weeks of summer. Jenna got invited to her friend Nick's house for a pool party so we went there this afternoon. It was so nice to sit out in the warm weather, on the deck, swatting the bees, and yelling at kids! Why in the world did I think it was going to be enjoyable with (5) seven year olds and an infant?! Jenna showed me a side of her I never new existed. I guess I was that gullible parent who had blinders on, thinking her kid was perfect..that dream was immensely shattered today! I guess she was very excited but boy her shyness must have stayed in the car because the minute we got there she ran into the house, leaving me and her "shyness" in the dust!

I shouldn't complain though because she really had a nice time. A few of her friends came and they hadn't seen each other since school so they were excited.

Around 4 o'clock we left and now we are waiting to go to cheer leading practice. Right now she is watching t.v., on the couch, in her pajamas! Call me psychic but I foresee a battle soon ahead! I know she doesn't want to go to practice but I am the mean mom who makes her go!

After practice we are supposed to go to "Community Days" over in the shopping plaza. This is a place that puts on a little concert and has games and fireworks. Normally it would be fun but I am afraid that Jenna is going to be so exhausted that once again it will be more work than fun! Does the time ever come when the kids get old enough that we as parents can enjoy ourselves?

Here are some pics of them in the pool today enjoy!

Seeing that side of her should make you feel comfortable that at least she is not that shy. While they're young, it is better to stay them away from shyness because it might become a problem later on. Shyness may hinder them from reaching their dreams in life.
