A quick post

I am again having wildlife issues here. Yesterday Suzy and I found a squirrel in the middle of the road that looked like it was having a mental issue. He kept going around in a circle in the middle of the road, and wouldn't get out of the way. We stopped and I tried to push it away with a piece of cardboard, but it wouldn't leave the roadway, so I picked it up in a little blanket and put it in a box in the van. Poor little thing. He was perfectly tame. He had a bald spot on his head, so I think he had been hit by a car. I took him to a wildlife rescue place on the outskirts of town. I hope he gets better.
Then today Jr. caught a baby frog, a full grown frog with one leg missing, and a full grown toad. They were racing them around their bedroom tonight (yeah, I caved in. More creatures in the house, I know, but what's a mom to do?) Rusty was just chasing them around as fast as he could. It was so cute to see how he just screamed and giggled. The toad was the fastest, probably because he's more of a land animal where the frog lives more in the water. The frog is more beautiful though. The toad peed on Tommy's hands, and we began to laugh, but he had a serious face and said it was NOT FUNNY. I'm going to lay low for a bit because I've got a midterm and a quiz on Tuesday. Every spare moment is going to be spent studying. Have a good weekend ya'll.

Labor Day Fun!

We went an hour North of here to the Long Branch State Park and had so much fun at the lake! The kids never wanted to leave!

Sam turned 3!!!

Here are the birthday party pics for Sam's 3rd birthday!

I know I need to visit Blogland...

I'm just so busy I can't even stand it! I'll try to blog soon. Here is a picture of a butterfly that I photographed when we were at the park. There is so much beautiful wildlife here.
I took my math midterm today. I think I did well. Rusty started walking a few weeks ago.

Also, Isaac got his braces on a couple days ago.

He is trying to get used to it. Poor guy. Well, in other news, it was our 11th anniversary today. Yes, we made it to 11 years! I hope the next 11 years are not as hard as the last 11 years, but something tells me they may be even harder (can you imagine having 4 or 5 teenage children at once? Yikes!) So, I guess we better hang on to our hats, it's gonna be a wild ride. Well, it already is.
Tommy is doing well in kindergarten.

His teacher is giving me some really good feedback, thankfully. Jr. is the one I have to worry about. His teacher says he is already getting lazy in doing his work at school. I know he is smart enough, but he just gets lazy.
Labor day, we might go visit a potential camp spot about an hour North of here. It has a lake with a beach where the kids can play. What are all of you up to? I haven't heard from many of you, and I hope you are all doing well. Love and hugs!
