Letterboxing

Ok I was reading my Family Fun Magazine today and came upon an article about Letterboxing. So I think as a way to start getting some exercise we are going to try it out. I checked out the Letterboxing North America website and searched for our area there are 207 boxes that have been placed in MA since May 1 of this year with 14 in Plymouth County.

I am going to go get the notebook and stamp stuff, so we can make our own, tonight so that maybe we can go out and start this weekend. I will let you all know how it goes cause it sounds like something Nate will love. I know I always love a good treasure hunt.

Pleasurable

I just love Blogger's spell checker. I used it on my playgroup post as I usually do before I finalize and it gives me "pleasurable" for playgroup which it obviously feels is not a word.

That is a great exchange. LOL.

Playgroup

I hosted another MOM's Club playgroup today. This one I actually had people come to. There were 4 other moms with their kids it was a fun time we played in the basement, only because there is more room and a good amount of toys down there. The kids seemed to have fun. I know I did. It is so nice to be able to talk to other adults and have the kids entertain each other.

I think I will enjoy bringing Jackie to the playgroups once Nate starts school. Not only will it be a great way to get out of the house but she can play with the other kids.

Heading out...

We are headed out to the Buttonwood Park Zoo today, meeting Sharon and her girls. WE have never been there so we plan to have a good time. It should be great because the weather is only supposed to be in the low 70's so not to hot to go walking around.

Nate is so excited, he got up this morning got himself dressed, Made his bed got himself breakfast and brushed his teeth without being told to. He also brought me breakfast in bed (dry cereal, because he had done all of those things before I got out of it. LOL. I hope this attitude continues when school starts cause it has been a push and shove thing lately with him to get going anywhere.


Will update later with how the day went.

Sleeping out

Nate and Michael slept out in the tent last night for a trail run in case we want to go to a real campsite. Now we just need to get Jackie out there and see how well she does. He wants to go out with her tonight. LOL.

We also lit our fire pit for the first time last night and had smores it was fun. We have only had it since Mother's day. Short and sweet for me today.

Monster House

Michael, Nate and I went to see Monster House today at the theater. It was very good although at times Nate thought it was a little scary. It was a sort of a going through puberty meet the girl thing. It was very cute a lot of stuff WAY over his head but we did enjoy it.

New Washer??? UGH

Well, I am without a washer at the moment, because it is making HORRIBLE noises and not not sitting right. We have the guy from Carver Appliance coming on Monday to check it out. When I gave him my description of the problem he thinks it is "rotten tub syndrome" which will cost $400.00 to repair.

Michael's aunt has an old machine that we can have if that is the case, but it is a top loader so a lot more water into my septic system that way, and it is old so will probably cost more to run.

Well, we will hope for the best and find the money somewhere to repair if necessary.
