Summer-Like

Will's out of school and I'm in a bring-on-summer sort of mood.  Proof being that I forgot to give Paige her allergy medicine and snack one day last week...because I'm just kinda done with THAT routine! :)

This weekend brought summer-like weather, a big annual "Onion Fest" party, and a first-timer on skates.  It was a blast. 

Things I learned:

• Add a jump house to any party and you have instant fun for kids (okay and maybe some adults) and a default answer to "where are the kids?". 
• Getting to bed late does not mean sleeping in for my kids.  Still.
• Though Paige is not a risk-taker, a little healthy pressure from peers will motivate her to try harder.
• They still play "Hokey Pokey" at roller skating rinks!
• I CAN'T beat 7 year old boys around the rink in a race.  Ever.
• Don't count on a well-rounded meal at Onion Fest, or as Will would call it - pickle fest?  er...tomato?  I can never remember what fest it is.

Onion Fest Definition:  Celebration of a local Vidalia Onion crop that are fried alongside a personally-caught fish collection from family friends.  With a whole lot of other food. Mmmmmm.
